Every year we produce an article for our January Legal Recruitment Newsletter about predictions for the previous year by an expert online psychic, Craig Hamilton-Parker (from www.psychics.co.uk). We have also included his 2016 predictions below to see how he does when we revisit in 2017. In 2014 Mr Hamilton-Parker scored 1 out of 16. Mr Hamilton-Parker charges £1.50 per minute for his services via telephone consultations.

13. There will be a celebrity kidnapping and an attack on a member of the Saudi Arabian Royal Family (wrong).
