I missed the show, but did see the previews. Sorry, I'm not a believer in psychics. Just by reading Anderson's book and/or Google-ing him, Mr. Edward could have gleaned most of that information. Psychics are "trained" to pick up on the tiniest of cues whether it be body language, facial expression, or your eyes.

Regarding, the fast-food play-areas, I also experienced concerns,
when my children, frequented those same play-areas, and this was atleast, 10-12 year's ago..Our Family of four, were getting sick, every week, just when we thought we were getting better, whamm!, we'd get sick again,and if You, your'e husband, and both your'e kid's are sick all at the same time, it's like a Big Black Cloud is over your house. I had heard something somewhere, back then, about how unsanitary, those play-areas,were,from the tunnel's, slide's,and,those netted areas with all the plastic ball's, never cleaned, never cleaned at all!! Well, I thought no more play-areas,and after that decision, we all stopped getting sick every week!!

Anderson, how cn you NOT be a believer after John's reading with you? I had the great pleasure of going to one of John's show in Minneapolis, it was awesome! I have all his books too, maybe you need to read all of them!

I had a reading with John Edward after my husband passed away. He told me things I didn't understand until his family validated them days later. My husband was an atheist and my reading with John gave me a peace of mind I can't begin to describe. I believe in John's gift 100%!!!
