John Edward is a popular psychic, speaker, and television personality. For more than 25 years, he has used his unique abilities to help people communicate with loved ones who have passed away. In an effort to organize and unite his followers, John Edward created an online community known as The Five, now known as Evolve in late 2011. One of the perks of being a member of The Evolve community is the opportunity to win a private phone reading with John Edward.

Generally, Mr. Edward offers private readings at his office in Long Island, New York. However, since Evolve is an international community, Evolve members who win private readings each month will receive their readings via the telephone. People are asked not to tape the private sessions, but it is alright for winners of private readings to take notes.

Under normal circumstances private readings are given to randomly selected individuals who have expressed interest in speaking with John Edward. Four people can participate in the same session; however, each additional person aside from the selected individual pays $100 to be in attendance.

​A psychic medium with a background in the paranormal, John Edward has an ability to communicate with individuals who have passed away. Known for his weekly Evolve webcast, John Edward regularly updates the website www.johnedward.net with news, happenings, and live events across North America.

As he explains on his site, Mr. Edward has an interest in the way in which television programming has developed over the years to a point in which psychic programs are commonplace. Unfortunately, many of the shows purporting to tell the real stories of ghost sightings and hauntings focus on the sensational rather than the truth. He finds the scariness associated with the programs particularly troubling, as it runs counter to the less sensationalist metaphysics employed in communicating with loved ones on the Other Side.

The programs that Mr. Edward does enjoy are explicit in emphasizing that they are seeking to tell a good story. He is also big fan of intelligent Hollywood movies--such as Ghost and The Sixth Sense--that focus on the subject of the afterlife.
