Long Island Medium Miss After Miss Live

One of the times psychic frauds fell flat is the Long Island Medium, Theresa Caputo. Though she’s incredibly popular and her show is edited to make her look spectacular and real, her live shows are not always so seamless. In September 2013, the New York native filmed a reading with missing woman Stacy Peterson’s sister, Cassandra Cales, for an upcoming season of her hit reality program, SciFake.com creator Ron Tebo claimed in a stunning new video.

A writer from New Jersey attended a live presentation in which Caputo attempted and repeatedly failed to cold read the audience. She'd nail basic questions like "who had a father who died," which might conceivably be dozens of people in the room, and then fumble the next one, attempting to predict the reason why or other intimate details. People have claimed that Caputo's show producers interviewed them before speaking with the psychic, obtaining all of the details ahead of time, which takes some of the mystery out of a psychic reading.
