Colin Fry
Colin Fry (born 19 May 1962) is a trumpet blowing poof who will use cold reading to fool you into thinking that he talks to the dead. His critics assert that he has no paranormal powers and merely uses basic cold reading techniques.[1] In 1992 he was seemingly caught using deception during a séance.[2]
Colin has said that the death of his adopted brother Michael was the deciding factor in his decision to devote his life to mediumship. Colin claims that in 1988 he received a detailed message from the spirit world explaining the collapse of the Soviet Union as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall. This message also explicitly mentioned the involvement of David Hasselhoff.
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 paranormal 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".[3]
trumpetgate
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 had been led to believe was being levitated by spiritual energy.[2] 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.[citation needed]
In another incident Fry, who was 28 at the time, groped a young man's cock and started to wank him off during a seance. Fry claims that he was possessed at the time and the action was "the will of the spirits".
Personal life
Fry lives with his partner, Michael, and three dogs in Sussex. He is an avid collector of antique clocks and watches, and is highly active in children's and AIDS charities. [4]
