Psychic Parties

Hi I am after some advice please. I am looking at setting up Psychic Parties in my local area and just needed some help on what your ideas would be of the event if you attended one and how much you would be willing to pay to attend and what you expected in return for that fee?

I know it maybe an odd request but there are none in my region and I have researched online so now it is a case of putting it together and giving it a try.

Many thanks

    lol yes I have an idea of course but may not suit everybody, same as with the research I did a lot of the ways they are set out by others doesnt suit me or feel personal enough for an amazing experience. If I knew the solution I wouldnt ask for an answer im psychic not a mind reader lol ;):)

    Of course they are hardly new just been upgraded to protect people like me from the charlitans. I have used them since I began developing my mediumship studies along with the other spiritual church regulations on some occasions its my disclaimer. I actualy point out to them it shouldnt be a life changing decision based on the readings I give, everybody has a free will and I do not and will not take any responsibility for other peoples decisions or actions its their choice. I always make sure they are of a sound disposition first and if I dont like the intentions of the person or they are of the blocking type I refuse to read and dont take their money or booking. I also wont future predict as its not permitted! They must also 20 or older as an age restriction applies for insurance purposes.

    After all if you are coming to an evening of this nature you have an idea of what its about, just like going to the cinema you know your going to see a film not to go swimming! lol ;)

  • I appreciate the helpful advice and comments but please can people answer my original question as well ~ as I just needed some help on what your ideas would be of such an evening if you attended one and how much you would be willing to pay to attend and what you expected in return for that fee?

  • Hi hun

    I have both been to a party and held a party at my house. Both with different people and both really went well. For both there were 6 of us and each paid £45.

    I researched the card readers fully and went for the ones with the best reputation, the first one I went to was really good and was able to tell me things from my past and dates of my childrens births etc and was able to give some info on what she saw my doing in the future which did happen. The second one wasnt as good although that was more recent so probably not had time to see it happen lol.

    From the party I have been to and the one I have had I would expect to have at least half an hour reading and somewhere quiet that the reading can take place. The things I would have liked to see is either a recording of the reading which I could have then or the main points sent out to me as I found its impossible to remember things as soon as your away from the reading.

    You would probably be best to get a good reputation in your area before attempting to sort parties tbh then people will hunt for you. The first one I went to has a waiting list of 6 months for weekday readings and 1 year for week end/evening readings.

    By the way what area are you in?

    Thank you for the help :) this is the way I was thinking, however building a reputation was going to be the purpose of the parties, but I see your point of perspective.

    I am in SE England, West Sussex area near Butlins Southcoast world ;)

  • Hello! Personally I wouldn't be interested in this sort of thing but I remember a few years ago my neighbour had a party at her house for a few girlfriends and had a person there doing readings of some sort. I'm pretty sure this wasn't a psychic party along the lines of an Ann Summers party where the psychic organised it so much as a my neighbour having a party and booking the psychic (much like you would book any form of 'entertainment'). I do remember that if you wanted a reading you paid for your own, rather than my neighbour paying a set rate for everyone to have a reading IYSWIM..... Good luck!
