Skeptic: General vs. Specific

How Specific should a Psychic be about given events they are asked to find out about in order to not be considered a hoax?

Specific Vs General Skeptic

Very specific. And not specific in the manner of things that are common to lots of people. So many times there are psychics who state things that are common to many people. Its not psychic to know I had a favorite stuffed bear, or that I loved to play at this park when I was a kid, or that my mom used to sing me a song. The few psychics I have seen that get specific have been found out to be cheating. In one case, she made a "psychic" statement about a couple in the room, their dead kid, and come to find out, the person who booked her was their best friend and paid for their tickets! I have yet to see a provable psychic phenomenon, and the Amazing Randy will back me up on that!
