Coffee pro Liz Clayton fills us in on last night’s Chelsea bean extravaganza...
PSYCHIC: TINA
The gray-bobbed psychic has two visible bottom teeth and is wearing a red-cotton nightgown and slippers when we meet. She's worked out of the front room of her apartment for 35 years.
Location: Tarot Card and Palm Reading, 124 MacDougal St between Minetta Ln and W 3rd St (above Meskerem)
Cost: $35 for a 15-minute tarot session
Ambience: Plastic plants and wooden Buddhas. I can hear the TV in the next room.
Her reading: “Do you sleep alone?” she asks. How does she know?!? (It’s date time on Valentine’s Day… But yeah, it’s true—I sleep alone. BFD.) “There’s darkness in your bedroom; the hermit and the nine of swords.” According to Tina, desire and temptation await me. She sees that I haven’t been here long (seven and a half years), so I need to be wary of the demons around me. But there’s good news: “You have money coming.” (Hear that, IRS? Refund! Cha-ching.)
The spin: Offered a palm-reading for an extra $25
How she got into the biz: “You could learn yourself,” she says. “Get a book.”
Heard about the half-mil swindle? “I saw that on television,” she says. “Well, he was dumb enough to give her that money. I wish he was dumb enough to give me that money.”

When I read this article, my first thought was how could someone like this take a true gift which not many possess, dedicate their lives to people like me in need of some true approach to healing myself. Kathleen Karter, allowed me to understand what was happenening to my body, mind , and spirit. I never told her about my stomach. Her ability to see me,and what I should seek as an alternate way to improve my health, is worth more than all the money I have spent in search
the right medication!!

I write to strongly object to this article. In my experiece with Ms.Karter, she has been a consummate professional, and completely accurate in her readings. I found your article to be most inaccurate and offensive.

I failed to say that she has also been accurate!

I find this article very prejudicial, biased, and inaccurate. In my experience, I found Ms. Karter's predictions to be right on point.

All of these so-called psychics sound like phonies and quacks. You too can learn fortune telling - come on! It's like no one even tried to find any one who had a legitimate session.
I went to a small place in Yonkers called Katie's Cottage to have my tea leaves read by an Irish woman. Katie's is just a regular Irish bar and on certain Sundays they used to offer this. When I went there were probably 20 of us. We were served tea to drink then waited our turn. She told me that I was buying property so I should be careful because there was a problem with the paperwork. I was buying a house at the time and indeed, the value of the house was less than the sale price so the bank rejected the loan. Next she said she saw that someone in my family suffered from circulatory problems and would not be around long. My mom died within two months of seeing her. I had just been through a horrendous break up which she sensed as well. She didn't get anything wrong and the things right were enough to freak me out for life. I don't want to go back because sometimes there are things we are better off not knowing. I will never rest easy about her knowing my mom would die. She had a gift no doubt about it. Most people who advertise and make a living at this seem to be the phoniest. From her face, I would say that this has been as much burden as gift to her.

I parked in front of a psychic's shop/ place of business in Hell's Kitchen a few years ago, and ran inside a building right there for 2 minutes... 2 minutes tops... The so-called psychic was sitting on her stoop with her grand daughter. I got back to my car and someone had popped the lock and forced their way in, to steal my laptop and a bag of dirty laundry. I asked the psychic which they went, because she was sitting on her stoop the whole time. She smiled and said 'She didn't see nuthin." Worst Psychic EVER!
