I hope nobody is paying this fraud - to babble and guess.
British illusionist Derren Brown when interviewed by Richard Dawkins said that a lot of people study hard to learn how to do magic tricks, but beyond the children's party circuit there's really not much of an audience for a magician. But by pretending to be a psychic medium and picking on credulous and desperate widows you can find yourself an audience of people who should know better and simply apply some of the tricks you use to them.
It's really a sham.

Yeah, I've read Derren's book. He also said that some people kind of know it's nonsense, but still take some comfort in it anyway. With that in mind, it's difficult to completely side against them, even though they are clearly exploiting most people.

That would be the sort of thing:
Confidence Trickster: I'm getting a name around you, something like David, Dave, Darren, Dylan, Derek
Unsuspecting Mark: I had an uncle Derek
CT: And I'm getting that you were very close to him, he was someone you spent a lot of time with
UM: No, I only met him twice
CT: And I feel that he has a great sadness about that because he really wanted to be closer to you, but he felt that there was something in the way that was stopping him.
UM: Well he lived overseas...
CT: Yes that makes sense because he's telling me that he feels you'd like to travel more, is that right?
etc.
If you throw out enough stuff like
you find sometimes you lose your temper or get frustrated too easily
I feel a lot of movement like you like to travel around
I'm sensing sickness or illness around [insert name of deceased elderly relative here]
you've been worrying about money recently, haven't you?
there's something about an item of clothing, but not clothes something like a hat or some shoes, something like an accessory
and then you discard the misses and run with the hits. There's one born every minute.
