Psychic Phenomenon or Rational Explanition?

Hey all, I've been doing research in the area of divination, cold-reading, and fortunetelling. I'll add I am a bit skeptic and conservative however my preconceptions of the medium as being over-commercialized, (atleast in the U.S.) fraudlent (atleast 90% of the time) and ridiculous (no offense to any believers or practicers) were dashed when I was talked into seeing a psychic when a relative swore by the "fantasic" and "unbelieveable" results, she said this psychic was a part of rare group of truly gifted and psychic people (not a hollywood phony type). So I gave it a shot, the woman gave me a cold reading/read my tarot cards and she had me pegged instantly - she was deadon with a character anaylsis of myself (& I never met her before and my relative told her nothing of me). She also knew other info like my relationships, hobbies, and jobs. She even knew names of people who I knew and even about an argument I was in with one of them My question is how'd she do it? (the names especially She did tell me things about my future however my question is how'd she know the stuff she knew (that was very specific) without even knowing my name. (You just walk in take a number) and are seen. It wasn't vague it was totally personal which is why I brought it up to discussion.

2. Romans 1:20-22 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse .Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools
3. There are some genuine psychics out there - you may have stumbled on one. Nobody knows how PSI powers are created - it's just some unusual hardwiring in the brain. I speak from experience, as I have some myself.
4. I'd be a bit suspicious of a psychic who tells you a bunch of stuff about yourself that you already know, but doesn't tell you anything useful. Think about it - what's the point of paying someone money to tell you a bunch of stuff you already know?
5. Just don't fall into this stupid trap. These people know how to make it seen like they know all about you. If you gave her your date of birth and time, all they have to do is look it all up in astrology. Some things apply to all people born under the same sign. Relationships, hobbies etc. are linked to your birth sign. It's all a hoax . Get real!! I've seen so much of this kind of thing on TV, they have even told how they can do this. It's really easy, even you can do it.
6. In the ancient days of humans, we were way more connected both to each other and to nature. Just like many animals are able to communicate with each other non-verbally, humans had ways of connecting non-verbally. Intuition is a natural skill we have lost as a collective species. But the latent ability is still there, so some people can use it. Some have stronger ability than others. One perfect example of this in action is how some mothers have been able/are able to sense when their child is in danger, without having any physical world cues. Same source.
