How to explain this fact?

Cris · 13th November 2019, 04:16 PM

The medium created the drawing, in my house and in the presence of twenty witnesses of the portrait of a young woman who had been dead for eighteen months and whom he did not know, a portrait recognized by the young woman's father present at the session.

The simplest explanation is that the medium researched the guest list ahead of time, practiced a bit with the drawing, and used well known psychological patterns to sell the trick during the session.

Do you have a better one?

Athyrio · 13th November 2019, 05:18 PM

Did the father happen to have a photo/picture of the daughter with him that could be compared with the drawing?

Pope130 · 13th November 2019, 05:19 PM

There are several unsupported statements and assumptions in your story.

The first is that you are reporting a real event as you remember it. Which I will accept.
The second is that you remember it correctly.
Third, that the father in the story did recognize the portrait as his daughter.
Fourth, that the daughter existed.
Fifth, that only the father had ever seen her.
Sixth, that the medium had never seen a photo, or heard a description of her.

Yes. I can perform feats of apparently impossible mind reading that nobody can work out using trivially easy techniques. This has over time developed into a tradition of me providing a miracle after christmas dinner. Every year, I have to come up with a new magical feat. I am currently practicing the boggling feat for this years christmas dinner. Last weekend, I gave it a trial run to my eldest child. He knows in advance that I am pulling a fast one, so when he says "How the <bleep> did you do that?" I am on the fast track to another successful stunt. This is how the illusionist works.Most of the time it all depends on the performer knowing things that the audience does not. or has forgotten. Or has been intentionally misdirected about. Or was not paying attention to to.

Shrinker · 13th November 2019, 05:32 PM

So none of the 20 witnesses, including you, could verify the likeness in the drawing?

Of course you can generalize. It's a generalized scenario. Give specific details, if you want a more specific explanation.

And "selling" in this case means "making a convincing show", not "exchanging for money".

I say you made the story up. I have as much evidence for that explanation as you do that some "spirit" drew the picture. Except mine is more parsimonious.

Yes, you're playing the standard believer's game of giving us a the cherry-picked version of an anecdote just so you can make a point of others' inability to find a prosaic solution. The last guy who tried that, your fellow countryman, finally had to admit he made it all up. So the first thing you have to do is prove to us that none of the details of this story are made up.

Do you have any evidence at all that any of this happened?

Do you have contact information for the medium?

Do you have contact information for the father?

Do you have contact information for the twenty witnesses?

Do you have the picture that was drawn?

Can the father provide a likeness of his daughter apart from the picture?

Can you explain how the daughter went her whole life without having a picture taken of her?

Can you explain how the daughter went her whole life without ever interacting with anyone who could describe her appearance?

I pick a person from the audience. I ask him to pick a card but not tell me or show the audience. I throw the whole deck in the air. I catch one card. I show it to the person and he confirms that was his card. Can you explain how I did it?

It sounds like he was a stranger to the rest of the audience. Can you tell us anything more about how you all came to be together?

One simple explanation is fraud. The father was a plant.

You said that the session was free, but was he selling other services?

My explanation is that the likeness wasn't all that remarkable, but the guy spoke up anyway in the hope/fear that this was his one chance to connect with his dead daughter. You and 20 or so people lapped it up despite having no idea whether the drawing resembled the girl or not.

Asked and answered. As long as all you have is a vague description of an event that may or may not have happened, only general, speculative answers are possible. No one is obliged to meet a standard that is incompatible with the quality of the evidence.

Scan in and post the drawing and a photo of the girl.

If you can't, we will assume it never happened.
