Thomas John sees dead people
The celeb-approved psychic and medium will take the stage in Atlanta for a one-of-a-kind experience.
Thomas John was four when he connected with his grandfather’s spirit from beyond the grave. More or less since then, the Boston native (who currently toggles between New York and Los Angeles) has been tapping into his intuitive senses as both a psychic and a medium to help people connect with their dead loved ones and answer questions about what their future may hold.
On April 9, Atlantans can meet and greet John in person when he holds a mass reading at the Twelve Centennial Park Hotel downtown. Though these larger events can garner audiences of more than 100 people, John says the probability of an attendee getting a reading isn’t as unlikely as you’d think. “A lot of people come in groups,” John says, “so there might be four or five people who are there for the same person. I don’t stop talking for two hours — I do a little introduction, then I read, and then we have a little time for questions, so a lot of people do get something.”
John’s splashy client roster includes celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Courteney Cox, and Betty White, and he’s made appearances on entertainment news shows — accurately predicting award show winners — and talk shows like Dr. Phil. He says the Hollywood stuff “just happened organically” because of where he’s based. “The big thing with celebs, is they want to make sure it’s someone they can trust and not someone who’s going to go tell their problems to the world,” John says.
John says his connections usually come through as thoughts — he’ll get ideas or pictures in his head, then explains them to the person he’s conducting the reading with to determine the connection to the person who has passed on. “I just like to be open to what comes through, and then other things kind of unfold as it goes on,” John says. “It’s more organic that way.” While those who are more open-minded will generally get a better reading in his experience, John adds that he’s “had the most skeptical or close-minded people get good readings because sometimes they need more healing or help. There are really no rules about it.”
