John Edward

John Edward (born October 19, 1969 as John Edward MaGee, Jr. in Glen Cove, New York) is the creator and host of the television show Crossing Over with John Edward. Purporting that Edward is a medium, the show features what is said to be communication with the dead.
 
A typical reading by Edward on his television show begins with him coming up with a letter or a sound in someone's name with whom he claims to be communicating ("I'm getting an R sound" or "I'm getting a C or a K sound...did anyone have someone pass away with that sound in their name?"). Someone will usually then raise their hand and he will continue asking them questions relating to them, or the deceased, making many guesses (some of which are right, some of which are wrong), until he comes up with a description of the deceased. He then usually follows by saying that the deceased is with him right now and that he/she sends their love.
 
In addition to his television show, Edward sells tickets for public readings, and has written several bestselling books on his work and how to develop psychic powers.
 
At the end of John Edward's show a legal disclaimer appears for 3.3 seconds. It can only easily be read using a "paused" recording. Some viewers, especially well versed conjurors, see this as deceiving.
