Social Media Psychic


When Jack Vale used his ‘psychic power’ to rightly identify the birthday girl, her reaction was “How do you know me? Did you just make that up?” Vale would call out names and personal information of the strangers, such as what they ate for dinner last night and their nicknames for their loved ones.


Jack Vale is a comedian with 880,973 YouTube subscribers and 165,269,749 views and he is a ‘Social Media Psychic’. Jack Vales knows what you did when if you have mentioned it on Instagram or Twitter. Vale freaked out strangers by checking their social media accounts using publicly accessible geo-data and use their publically available yet personal information to troll them. The result was cranky victims who were amazed and shocked, thinking the man was a psychic or mind reader at first. The man walked through streets leaving people spellbound.


Social Media is becoming a stalker’s delight. People post their likes, dislikes, date of birth, spouse’s name, what they eat, where they are and much more. On many websites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram any user can view what you post and what you upload unless you have changed your privacy settings. It isn’t difficult to do what Jack just did.


Though, Jack did it as a practical prank, he was concerned by the information people post on social media. You could be invite criminals to your home by posting “Alone at home”
