Keith Atkinson says there is a difference between the questions he gets asked in Dartmouth and those he is asked in Halifax.
"They ask the same general questions, but they are just more intense and passionate on the Dartmouth side," says the clairvoyant, who is organizing the Psychic Fair at the Sportsplex this weekend.
Eight or nine psychics, including three from Nova Scotia, are supposed to attend the fair - a one-stop shop for paranormal phenomenae.
The trade show will feature psychic Q&As and readings by palmists, tarot-card readers, and people who look for answers in crystals.
"In theory, it's all the same thing," says Atkinson. "They all have clairvoyant abilities, but how you use them is different. People use different things to help them focus."
He says being clairvoyant is like having a thousand television sets on at once, and psychics need to use something to help them focus on one screen.
Atkinson's favourite way to focus his ESP energy is to use tarot cards. He first realized he could do this when he was younger, but he turned professional in 1980s.
"I don't like questions before I begin," he says about doing readings. "If I haven't answered something, go ahead and ask afterward."
Atkinson says the industry has changed a lot since he started touring with the fair. Traditionally, there were a lot more women than men attending the fairs, but more men are now coming out.
Asking different questions
People are still looking for answers about love, money, career and health, but Atkinson says they are asking different questions.
Before, people asked questions with yes or no answers: "Will I find love?" Now they ask self-help questions: "Why do I keep getting involved in bad relationships?"
"The biggest misconception is we know everything," Atkinson says.
