Your Future, For Pennies! Old Tyme Psychic Ads

Throughout history there have been those self-alleged wonder-workers who proclaim unto themselves the gifts of precognition, telepathy, clairvoyance, etc. The most well known of these are, of course, still spoken of but many of have fallen to the wayside of history either being exposed as frauds or simply vanishing into the ether from which they proclaimed their powers had been derived from. Can someone divine the future or unknown facts simply by reading an unseen energy stream which contains all information? Or are these strange messages brought by spirit beings who exist in some ethereal and timeless world? I don’t know.

What I do know is that a great many “psychics” have come and gone and that over the years many of them have been forgotten. Looking through the advertisements which these “seers” once ran in national newspapers it is hard to understand how they, with their advanced powers of perception, did not see their inevitable lapse into obscurity.
