Colin Fry
Colin Fry (born 1962) is an English television performer who has become one of his country's best known spiritualist medium personalities.
Television career
Colin Fry has hosted a number of television programmes dealing with the supernatural, including Most Haunted, Psychic Private Eyes and 6ixth Sense with Colin Fry, produced by Living TV. The nature of the presented entertainment has numerous critics who assert that he has no supernatural powers and merely uses basic cold reading techniques.[1]Psychic Private Eyes on the Zone Reality channel co-stars fellow psychics Tracy Higgs and Tony Stockwell and purports to conduct "real life psychic investigations into baffling murders and disappearances".[2]
Controversy
Fry, who at one time performed under the stage name of "Lincoln", was seemingly exposed in 1992 when during a séance the lights were unexpectedly turned on and he was seen holding a spirit trumpet in the air, which the audience was led to believe was being levitated by spiritual energy, thus breaking kayfabe.[3] Fry has previously rejected an invitation to appear on a television show to talk about the incident and threatened the show with legal action if they mentioned it on their programme.[citation needed]
Fry mentioned the trumpet incident in his books, and gave an explanation saying he was in a trance state, and as an inexperienced medium, did not take suitable precautions to prevent lower entities from taking control.
