If something really awful happens you should be considering weather or not you want to be doing a publicity stunt on the same day as a tragedy.

Good Point, I work in TV in the UK and often stories will be bumped off the schedule if there has been a big incident. A big sports event is also the safer option.

Luke Jermay has a good headline prediction on Premise and Premonition. He also gives the advice that it is morally preferable to avoid or to do something else if something awful happens on that day.

I like the idea of sticking to the sports pages as well.

Banacheck`s headline predictions download is GREAT:

You get 4 variations. I used to do my headline predictions with a classic billet knife for years, I did not likje the small billet at the end... now I use one of the four shown on that download. Really well worth your money!!!

Edgar Cayce, Jeanne Dixon predicted JFK's assassination and that is what made her famous. WHat happens happens. I say do not run from it. However with a tragedy I am not as specific. For instance lets take the worse case scenario. 9/11 I would not have run from it, I would have predicted many other things as well in the paper and then finally ended with something like a picture of a long tall rectangle with smoke. Or... Plane hits a building somewhere in the world. Or Some major tragedy in NYC. This way you did not know specifically the tragedy but you did not avoid it. If it is a tornado or hurricane, yes I predict it.

Seriously those people who say you should not predict a tragedy because people will wonder why you never said anything. Seriously. You really anyone would have listened if a person said Bin Laden was going to fly planes in to the twin towers? They would not, they would think you were nuts. And yes maybe if you could do this you would have a responsibility but it would not change anything at all. Don't run from tragedy, touch on it but not too specific. In the twin towers I would have said, "and I drew this, I had no idea what it was at the time, but I think we all know now and I wish I had not drawn it."

Just my two cents in this PC world we are all so afraid of.

First issue of Second Volume of the Journal of Psience is one of the safest, most practical and believable prediction methods ever

I second what newguy wrote. Genius method. Plus it's not technically difficult to do. The stuff Michael Weber is putting out through Psience is incredible for those that do their homework.

Much can be learned from Clearly Predictable by Larry Becker (Stunners Plus page 208). The Becker routine was mentioned in an earlier post written many moons ago. It's more in the realm of mental magic but its got a lot going on and high entertainment value.
