STUDIES SHOW PEOPLE TURN TO ASTROLOGY AND MEDIUMS FOR GUIDANCE IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY, SO HERE’S THE ELLE GUIDE TO GETTING IN TOUCH WITH YOUR WOO-WOO SIDE
Like John Edward for millennials, David The Medium connects people with their loved ones in the Other Realm in front of huge crowds using the process of elimination to find the audience member who is being contacted. In October, he will embark on a national tour, haunting — I mean — hitting every capital city, before hopping over to New Zealand to do the same. In a private reading ahead of the tour, David correctly predicted many things about my life, including the fact that the bathroom fan in my new apartment would not be working when I moved in. His approach is fun and positive, and leaves you feeling like you’ve just had the best therapy session of your life. See davidthemedium.com/events for more.
