[?] About spirit guides

If individuals aren't demonstrating mediumship when they're supposed to be doing then it's fair and reasonable to suspect they may not be mediums in the first place.

If they're plainly in cahoots with others in the room then it smacks of fraud. For the inexperienced observer, though, that fraud may not be obvious and a possibly-convincing excuse may be offered if questioned or challenged.

Where fraud is less likely, though, is during a Zoom demonstration. Psychic reading rather than mediumship may still happen but collaboration with others isn't possible. It's harder with Zoom for a medium to be drawn towards an individual as all those attending a demonstration may not easily be seen but an accomplished medium can still 'work the virtual room' seeking the intended recipient of a message from spirit. On Zoom I've seen some remarkable mediumship but also some pretty poor work. It looks a demanding platform for some whereas others are in their element.
