And I'm a cynic, who thinks the obvious reason for clairvoyants not being multimillionaires is not that the "aura won't let them personally benefit", but that they have no more knowledge of the future than the average person presented with a tearful old woman with a hopeful look in her eyes.

Hell, if you thought that you had any future seeing capability you wouldn't be making money the hard way, talking to the credulous in town halls and on 'fortune telling hotlines' - you'd be finding a way of getting past the celestial killjoy and land the jackpot; predict the winner of the 3:30,; spot facebook before the rise; and generally focus on the big picture rather than "you'll meet a tall dark stranger".

Actually, that would kind of make a good plot for a hollywood film. Fortune teller actually starts to have some success, and realises the best bet is to ditch the flim flam and go for the lottery win - but then attracts the attention of the 'celestial killjoy', who proceeds to try to top them in the most gruesome way possible.

Where's my agent?
