| Yanna a/k/a Christine Evans |
Two stories came together as we were assembling the Inside Magic Daily Newsletter. (If you are not on the newsletter list, you can sign up with the box to the right of this article). Either story was disgusting but together, their unsavory parts created a whole sack full of gross that was greater than the sum of the two slimy pieces.
First, Yanna a/k/a Christine Evans, was convicted and will soon be sentenced for duping a woman out of a $100,000.00 and was going for an extra $71,000.00. The psychic is a former convict from Arizona where she faced bad check charges. Ms. Evans is a mother of three and apparently without conscience.
Ms. Evans met her victim at a “psychic party” in a suburban shopping center. She offered to provide services beyond the quick cold read in a store and the two women arranged for Ms. Evans to visit the victim’s home.
Astute readers of Inside Magic or any book or newspaper know where this is leading. Ms. Evans found the house was crawling with spooks and forces sufficient to bring psychic wrong and possibly lower property values unless forced from the structure.
Darn if they didn’t try everything. Ms. Evans even walked around the place with a pan full of steaming myrrh and incense while throwing flower petals around the joint. The image is not unlike a waitress at Chili’s bringing a steaming skillet of fajitas to your table but with flower petals thrown at you.
Still, even these extraordinary measures didn’t do the job.
Ms. Evans convinced the victim she needed to give her a check for $71,000.00 to take the next step because she sensed some of the spirits were violent. That’s not good. Real estate appraisers say next to replacing your bathrooms, driving out violent spirits is the best thing you can do to improve your home’s value.
A law enforcement officer hid in the shower to listen to the exchange between the two women. The victim invited the law enforcement officer into the house (one wonders if this was the ‘violent spirit’ Ms. Evans felt). The check was written; Ms. Evans left the house, and was stopped by assisting officers down the road. When they retrieved the check from Ms. Evans, it was soggy with spit. She had attempted to swallow it as she was pulled over.
At a hearing today, Ms. Evans told the judge she had only $3,000 left to turn over to the victim. She drove to the hearing in a new Mercedes. The judge considered the offer an insult and gave her until mid-May to come up with the victim’s cash. She will receive her full sentence then.
The second story is perhaps more insidious. Regardless of where you come down on the Terri Schiavo issue, we hope you are repulsed by the following.
John Edward is known for his tactless but generally not horribly harmful Crossing Over books and television shows. His name has dropped from the public discourse since his show was cancelled from the Sci-Fi cable channel.
He tried to pull himself up by his bootstraps once before by taping a special edition of Crossing…
