By the time I finish explaining what I believe, he gets it. Sometimes it's just the word 'psychic' that turns people off. I get it.

This reminds me of when I practiced magic tricks as a teenager. In those moments I learned that ''magic'' is the word for the illusion caused after the trick. That is, to surprise you, to encourage you or to be doubtful of what the ''magic trick'' causes when it is performed. The explanation is a bit longer, but the point is that it is the name and behind that name there are many explanations. My brother would say ''there is no such thing as magic, don't be an imbecile'' but then I would explain and he would say ''there is no such thing as magic, you are still an imbecile''. I tried. xd
