5 Hilarious Times Psychic Con-Artists Got Busted

2. Fresh Prince of Bel Air Fail

A British psychic named Wayne would host his own infomercials where people would call in looking for psychic advice, which he would respond to with vague, ambiguous answers.

In 2012, a man with an Irish accent called him with a tale about his childhood that was verbatim the back story of Will Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

The caller, identifying himself as “Will,” told Wayne the tale about growing up in West Philadelphia and hanging around the playground with his friends, like DJ Jazzy Jeff. But then, one day, “a couple of guys, they were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight, my Mom got scared …”

Eventually, he got to his real question, which was if he would ever meet up with his old crew from Philadelphia again. Missing the ruse entirely, Wayne shuffles his tarot cards and advises “Will” that he should try getting in touch with them through social media.

Thanks Wayne. That’s why we pay the big bucks.

It wasn’t until “Will” pulled out all the stops and finally said “I’m Will Smith” did the psychic understand the ruse. Good read on that one, Wayne.
