I know there aren't too many out there that can combine the skills with the showmanship. "Well done" is rare among mediums.

No I'm not trolling, whatever that is.
You haven't proven 100 % of mediums to be fake.

Roughly translated :

Jambo you're slipping.
This is getting just too obvious that you are trolling.

jambo, the word "prove" means literally nothing in your "reverse scientific process" worldview.
"Proof" and "proven" mean something very specific to scientists. And I am pretty sure you do not know what that is. Non-null hypotheses can be proven false. That is it. They cannot be proven true. In fact, in a strict definition, nothing can be proven true or false, however convention says that non-null hypotheses are "proven" false when they are repeatedly shown to not be supported by data.
You can translate the statement "you have not proven that 100% of psychics are frauds" into "I don't know basic logic, nor do I know how the scientific process works". You cannot go throwing around words like "proven" without the context of logic and science. They become meaningless, and your statments come across as ignorant.
That you repeatedly make these statements means that you are either being purposely obtuse, or are really out of your league here. I hoping that you are just being stubborn for your own entertainment, but after reading many of your posts, I am leaning to the latter explanation.
Of course, I feel like I'm paddling upstream here...

I dont know any good mediums, but I know where you might be able to find some. There is a program called PalTalk (http://www.paltalk.com) (its a stand-alone chat client), there are many many psychic rooms and psychics to read you.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that every tested medium has been "proven" to be fake.
In fact, I would bet the farm on it. All the believers have to do is find one single medium who can stand up to basic scientific observation. And you never have.
So, from our perspective, every medium has been proven fake. If you claim to be a medium that means certain things about you. If you are unwilling to be tested, and we have to take your claims on faith, then we are outside of science and into religion.
You can have your religion if you want.
If we can't test the hypothesis, then it is not a valid hypothesis. Technically, it also means that no other mediums exist outside those that have been tested, since none are observable to hypothesize about. I could label "people who believe that they talk to the dead" anything I wanted (some of us call them frauds) because the term "medium" is precisely meaningless in the context of our current knowledge. It is meaningless because there is no object (in this case, a person) who has the same attributes that an object traditionally called "medium" has, such as the ability to talk to the dead.
Think of it this way. If you believed that purple squid existed, yet every purple squid ever found was exposed as a white squid painted purple, would you continue to believe that there were purple squid out there, because someone told you, "believe me, there are purple squid in the ocean"?
Anyone would argue that there are no purple squid. Except for people who really wanted to believe that there were purple squid in the ocean.
This is essentially what you are claiming. Every SINGLE medium that has been examined has been exposed as either disillusioned about their abilities or fraudulent. Why, then, do you continue to believe that there are mediums out there (somewhere with the "real" purple squid that have somehow managed to escape detection)? Because someone said so? Because you want to believe there are?
Neither of these positions is tenable, or satisfying, for that matter.

Because jambo is stupid,and easily fooled.Also, jambo likes starting threads but cannot add anything to them or finish them for that matter!
In short,jambo is a troll! :D

Let me just outline a list of recommended mediums, i.e. the best mediums in the world who have been definitively proven to actually be contacting dead people:
You can contact any one on that list and be sure that you are receiving real information from 'the other side'.

There is no such thing as a good medium. It is like saying "Can you recommend any good, evil, deceitful exploiter of dopes." You know, you try to portray sceptics as the bad guy and as is so often the case - take George Bush and your typical television evangelist - the most evil people are portrayed as the best and the most decent people, the people who actually do care about the truth of things are portrayed as evil.

Clearly he just confused you with me. All those facts match me perfectly and I've never met him. I don't even know Luke T's real name!
That's an amazing gift you have, Luke! My father was Ralph and my aunt Mickey LOVES to brush her hair. You were dead on about my cousin, too. Hopefully he'll get his life back together soon. I'm not a skeptic anymore. You've demonstrated proof of communication with the dead right in this forum. I wish jambo hadn't shut you down so soon, because then he'd be able to see this for himself!
It doesn't get any colder than reading someone you can't see, who resents you, AND who suspects you're cold reading before you start. The negative energies of Jambo's closed mind probably confused your skills and directed them back on me. Must've had something to do with both Jambo and myself using colored text in the thread.

Then who put the face on mars, then? Who? Of course there are Martians - they are the descendants of ancient egyptians who used Von-Daniken drive rockets to travel to mars after Atlantis sank into Lake Michigan...
And I can prove it except I won't show anyone here the proof because I know that you will just call me names and not believe me then I will feel bad and need to get my chakras adjusted.
So I'm not gonna tell you anything. Just disregard this post because I don't need Randi's $1 million dollars.

Come on... that HAS to be a halloween costume, doesn't it?
Who would fall for the glowing crystal ball?
Jambo, you absolutely have to send your money to someone, I'll take it. I'm not psychic, but I'll spend it on a lot of fun stuff for myself... Hey, wait a minute... I just saw the future - me with a beer in my hand and a jack on the rocks sitting on the bar... or was it a Jack on the rocks in my hand and a beer on the bar... this premonition stuff is tricky... either way, there's going to be whiskey and beer when the money shows up. That much I see for sure. Maybe I'm psychic after all...

Just of interest jambo372, why do you post such a question on a sceptic forum?
Why don't you ask such a question on a forum, where not 75% of posters are non-believers?
You certainly cannot expect any answers to your question from them, except "There are no good mediums!".
So what is the point in posting here?
