Live Psychic Biography
Simon Turnbull (Born 10 May 1950) is a self-proclaimed psychic and writer on parapsychology who has been researching telepathy and precognition and other so-called paranormal areas of expertise for over forty years. Since 1975 he has appeared on many television programs discussing psychic matters and debating with skeptics about the perceived value of following ones intuition. He is President of the Australian Psychics Association (APA), a Master Mason, an authority on tarot,and a practicing astrologer.
In 1970 Turnbull began delving into psychic research by visiting a professional psychic, Brian Zodemsky, a former Catholic priest, for a psychic reading. Zodemsky told him he was involved with two women who shared the same name. This was true; he was going out with two women called Rhonda (one of whom he subsequently married). Turnbull immediately stopped the reading and asked Zodemsky how he did that. Zodemsky promptly began to teach his method of reading the tarot. After going to a local spiritualist church to learn mediumship, he found himself looking for spirits in ex-Prime Minister Paul Keating's newly acquired house.Turnbull soon began giving psychic readings on a part-time basis whilst still maintaining his musical career.
Turnbull made his first television appearance as a psychic in 1975 on Australia’s ‘The Mike Walsh Show’, which was telecast live nationally. Mike Walsh asked him to demonstrate psychometry, which is the supposed ability to read the life of the owner of an object held by the psychic. Turnbull received the name ‘Hilda’. The owner of the watch then told the audience that Hilda was her sister, and she was sitting right next to her in the audience. They had both been arguing as to who would give their watch to host Mike Walsh before the show. In 1975 Turnbull also met Israeli psychic Uri Geller for the first time, who was then touring Australia, and Turnbull would later edit a book with him.Spoonbending is a form of psychokinesis - the ability to influence an object with the mind.
In 1983, Turnbull and fellow psychic Garry Wiseman founded the Australian Psychics Association (APA).Early members were psychics who wrote on the subject for newspapers and magazines and/or provided psychic information for radio and television programs.Psychic artist Esther Crowley drew a picture in pastels of Turnbull's spirit guide, the late Billy Hill. She depicted Billy Hill as a bald man. Turnbull recognised him immediately, as before death he had suffered from cancer and lost his hair because of chemotherapy. People who went to see psychics were very much subjective about the experience.People tend to want to confirm their own intuition about the difference between what they feel and what they think they feel. TurnbullI recommends that anyone who goes for a reading should always ask for a recording of the session. Firstly so they remember everything - most people only remember the good and forget the bad. Secondly so they can diarise the reading and see how accurate it turned out to be.Deja vu is an area psychics were often asked to explain.Turnbull has worked with media organisations to help disclose the whereabouts of fake psychics whenever possible.The association supports psychics from all over the world.
In Kylie Entirely, a documentary which aired in 2002 on the UK's Channel 4, Turnbull was asked to give a reading for Kylie Minogue due to accurate readings given about her by him fifteen years earlier. In 2006 Fox Studios Australia asked Turnbull to be a consultant on a brand new psychic TV series called 'The One (TV program), The Search for Australia’s Most Gifted Psychic’, televised in Australia in 2008 on the Seven Network. A second season was made in 2011 and Turnbull was once again contracted to find psychics for the show.
Awards and Honours
2004 Awarded the Australian Psychic of the Year (National) award.
2004 Awarded the Australian Psychic Hall of Fame award.
2008 Awarded the Australian Psychic of the Year (NSW) award.
Turnbull and psychic researcher Charles Scarf began a three month research exercise in 2003 using a form of Remote viewing they called Predictive Remote Viewing (PRV). The idea behind this research was to evaluate the worth of using PRV to predict the stock market. Two photos were selected at random from a database of 3000 photos and put into an envelope marked ‘A’ and ‘B’ by an assistant. ‘A’ represented the stock as going up the following day; ‘B’ indicated the stock would go down. These were kept by an ‘analyst’ (Scarf et al.), who would check and compare the drawings and descriptive text sent by the ‘viewer’ (Turnbull) by email.
The test protocol ensured that these would be ‘double blind’ experiments, where neither the viewer nor the analyst had any idea what the envelopes contained. If the raw data provided psychically by Turnbull was similar to photograph ‘A’, then the prediction would be for the stock chosen to go up. If the raw data was closest to the photograph marked ‘B’, then the stock would be indicated to go down. If no similarity occurred with either photo, then there would be no selection made, and it was decided to ‘pass’ on that particular stock. An annual set of predictions regarding stocks has appeared in the Australian newspaper each January for the past several years.For the third year running, writes business editor Tim Boreham in The Australian, Turnbull was the closest of the six finance experts in tipping the All Ordinaries index 2005 closing level at 4570 points, compared with its actual close of 4708.8.In 2009 Turnbull was closest to predicting the strength of the Australian dollar. . Midway through 2012 finds Turnbull's defensive stock market predictions being justified.
International Remote Viewing Association
An invitation for Turnbull to speak in Las Vegas in 2004 at the 3rd International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA) conference resulted in his presenting his paper ‘The Future of Remote Viewing’. Remote viewing has a lot of value for psychics who would like to upgrade their abilities and train themselves to improve their clairvoyance.
Psychic publishing
Since 2005 Turnbull has edited the annual Australian Psychics Directory together with co-publishers Hiromi Mitsuya and Leela J. Williams. Each year the Australian Psychic of the Year Awards are announced in the directory.The psychic industry all around the world has become of greater interest to some people, due to the uncertainty of the economic crisis of the past few years. People have felt compelled to re-evaluate their spirituality, and using psychics has been just one of the many alternatives available to them.When seeing a psychic Turnbull suggests that one should have a list of specific questions ready to ask, without giving too much information to the psychic. Australian Psychics Directory articles regarding predictions have appeared in other Australian national magazines.

Live Psychic Biography
Psychic Readings Live is a live, two-hour phone-in television programme first aired on Ireland's TV3 network at midnight from 16 June to 3 December 2012. Just over two years after TV3 removed Play TV from its schedule, the network began airing Psychic Readings Live in the programme's time slot. Newspaper reports compared the controversy generated by Psychic Readings Live to the scandal caused by Play TV: "It will remind TV3 of a past life".
Produced by Eso.tv, the programme invited viewers to dial a premium-rate telephone line costing €2.44 per minute.The line gave them a chance to communicate with a team of in-studio psychics who offered predictions of future events. Psychic Readings Live attracted criticism for the number of hoax calls from viewers and its use of seemingly-stock photographs of its psychics. Concerns were also expressed about the nature of some predictions, including one in which a woman was told her property would catch fire.
On 17 July 2012, the Irish Examiner reported that the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) had the programme "on their radar" following a number of complaints to TV3. Four complaints were upheld against the programme on 9 November 2012. The show was cancelled on 3 December 2012, with its final broadcast airing in that day's overnight slot.
The identities of the team of alleged off-screen clairvoyants were scrutinised after a blogger, Alan Rice, sifted through the programme's online images of its off-screen psychics and discovered that it was using stock photographs. His comments led to complaints of false advertising and inspired a lengthy discussion thread on the boards.ie internet forum, where users posted screenshots of some images. On 22 June, the website JOE.ie reported that the discussion board had 2,700 posts within six days of the programme's premiere.
A number of hoax callers (known as "trolls") contacted Psychic Readings Live, the first within days of the programme's launch. The trolls ask apparently-genuine questions, then tell the psychic they do not believe the reading or verbally abuse them. The Irish Times reported that a viewer phoned the show impersonating Will Smith’s character on the U.S. television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, footage of which was posted on YouTube. Another concluded her call: “They don’t have Play TV anymore so I can’t try and lose my money, okay. I’ll try and save it...I’ll be in touch with BAI soon.”
Illusionist Keith Barry, expressing his disapproval of Psychic Readings Live, challenged one of its presenters (Psychic Wayne) to a magic dual. Declining the invitation, Psychic Wayne gave an equally lighthearted response; he claimed to be bowing to the greater force of Keith Barry, maintaining that such a battle (should it ever occur) would have irreparable consequences for the universe.
Conor Pope, consumer protection writer for The Irish Times, called Psychic Readings Live in July 2012 and asked Psychic Wayne about a concern that someone with whom he is connected in his work was stealing other people's money; he was promptly disconnected.Pope expressed his concerns about the programme in an article on 17 July: "The show appears to attract vulnerable and unhappy people looking in all the wrong places for answers, and then charges them staggering amounts of money for readings of questionable merit. There have been growing calls from bemused viewers for it to be axed. The growing controversy is not unlike the one which engulfed Play TV, an infomercial “quiz” night that TV3 eventually scrapped after complaints, fines and mountains of bad press."
In response to criticism TV3 sought to distance itself from Psychic Readings Live, issuing a statement on 26 June 2012 that it had no responsibility for the programme's content and describing it as an infomercial.Eso.tv described the show as “for entertainment purposes only”, although this was not emphasised by the presenters.
On 17 July 2012, the Irish Examiner reported that the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland was monitoring the programme after a number of complaints to TV3. Complaints about a show on air for less than 30 days are referred to the broadcaster concerned, and if a complainant is not satisfied with the broadcaster's response after that period they can then contact the BAI. On 17 July Psychic Readings Live reached the 30-day deadline, and the BAI said the show was "on their radar".
In the same Examiner article concerns were expressed by the charity Age Action Ireland, which feared that elderly and isolated people might be calling the programme for human contact and accruing large phone bills. Age Action Ireland urged that the cost of the calls be highlighted, and for relatives of those living alone to try and ease their feelings of isolation.On 2 October a complainant tweeted the BAI decision; The Journal.ie picked it up for an article.
In November, journalist Paul Melia spent €80 in a half-hour when researching an article for the Irish Independent. He spoke to three psychics—an on-air presenter named Flathan; privately, "a pleasant Scottish woman" named Marticia and "a young, attractive black woman" with "a filthy cough" named Luminous—who informed him that his wife would become insane, his dog ("a small, shaggy-haired dog, not the kind you would see or hear") would die and he would change jobs: "one to help pay the hefty phone bill, and hopefully it won't be the Irish Independent's paranormal correspondent", he concluded.
On 11 September 2012, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland met to review complaints by individuals concerning Psychic Readings Live. Two complaints were upheld,since the BAI General Commercial Communications Code Section 8.10.4 states that claims pertaining to health, cures and/or healing are not permitted. The decisions were formalised in writing on 28 September, and Psychic Readings Live's BAI statement was broadcast on 5 October at 00.14 (immediately before the show).
On 9 November BAI upheld four viewer complaints concerning Psychic Readings Live, including two pregnancy predictions and one in which a woman was told that her flat would burn down. TV3 responded with the assertion that they were not responsible for the content of the programme; it was an infomercial, due to its broadcast time. However, the broadcaster subsequently said it would contact Eso.tv and take the show off air if Eso could not prove it complied with the broadcasting regulations.By 3 December, the BAI had upheld seven complaints against the programme; TV3 cancelled it,with the final broadcast that night. TV3 then replaced what it called the "commercial window" in which Psychic Readings Live had aired with regular programming.
