Char Margolis is an American author and self-proclaimed psychic medium. Margolis's claims to have paranormal abilities have been criticised by several media outlets which suggest she uses standard cold reading and hot reading tricks to perform her readings.[1]

Career

Maclean's magazine reported in 2010 that Margolis "got her start in Canada on The Dini Petty Show in the late 1980s... and also guested on Camilla Scott’s and Vicki Gabereau’s shows in their heyday" (on CBC Radio). Maclean's also reported that in 2010, Margolis charged US$600 for a 45-minute phone reading, and US$825 for an in-person consultation.[2]

In 2000, on Live With Regis, Margolis revealed Kelly Ripa's second pregnancy, which Ripa had been keeping secret.[3][4]

From 2002 to 2010, Margolis appeared on the Dutch television program Char on RTL 4.[5][circular reference][6][circular reference] In a 2004 interview on the Larry King Show, she said was scheduled to record the prime-time show in The Netherlands for six weeks in August.[1] In an article, "Char, Char, Charlatan", Henk Westbroek reported in DePers.nl that in 2005 he was a guest on that show, and Margolis used cold reading and hot reading techniques on him. Westbroek said that this experience turned him into an unbeliever regarding her abilities.[7]

She appeared on the sixth episode of Untold with Maria Menounos on E! in 2014, in which she was interviewed about being a psychic to Hollywood stars.[8]

Since 2015, Margolis has hosted a podcast, CharVision.[9][10] In 2019, she had a series on WOW Presents Plus called Reading Queens, in which she read for former contestants of RuPaul's Drag Race.[11][12]

In 2021, Margolis was a guest adviser in the 10th episode of season 13 of RuPaul's Drag Race.[13]
