Thought it would be interesting to carry out a 6 month audit a bit like a financial review but for this failed psychic.
There are/were two web sites which feature Joe. One is www.joepower.com which has been around in various guises for a number of years and now we also have/had the new one which came out in early 2008 (www.hopeandpowerproductions.com) which seems to be some joint concoction between his manager Claudine Hope and himself. However this second site mysteriously has been off air from 25th April??
But before the second site went off air you would think that they would be in synchronicity with each other particularly as they both feature Joe Power and his manager Claudine Hope and they are supposedly working closely together. Err not so.
Both web sites had an area which displayed the shows that Joe will “apparently” be doing. One site has them under “Productions” and the other site has them under “Joe on Tour”. Trouble is that the dates did not tie in with each other. For example on 15th April 2008 the Hope & Power site displayed 10 shows in June, while the Joe Power site displayed only 3 for the same period. September displayed 11 against 16. In fact from May to November none of the shows were the same on both sites. Bizarre.
In January there was a big razzmatazz on Joe Power’s web site referring to The Psychic Connextions Tour featuring Joe and Diane Lazarus. Various dates were shown throughout the whole year giving an impression that this would be a massive countrywide tour. Diane Lazarus’s web site at this same time however featured only 3 shows none of which coincided with anything Joe Power was doing on the same night.
Then early in April it was announced on the Joe Power web site that:
“Hope and power productions regrets to inform you that The Psychic Connextions Tour has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and is being replaced with an exciting new tour staring Joe Power.” All references to Diane Lazarus with whom he was supposed to be doing the tour were removed.
But several weeks later the Hope & Power web site was still advertising “The Psychic Connextions Tour with Diane Lazarus and Joe Power”, as well as shows that had already been cancelled. This is all just farcical and make a complete mockery of the following statement on the same site “Claudine’s professionalism has lead her to produce Hope & Power’s new and exciting show The Psychic Connextions Tour”. Professionalism???? Seemingly she is to professionalism what Joe is to being Psychic.
The venue booking situation must be very volatile, it really is difficult to keep up, as Joe Power’s web site has show date changes on virtually a daily basis as more and more shows are cancelled. So should you believe anything on his web site?
Also up until the 30th June 2008 the Joe Power web site had advertised 64 shows. However of those advertised 51 had been cancelled. This represent a massive 79% cancellation rate. Indeed if you click on the “Buy Ticket” button you are often directed to the Ticketmaster site which says “Sorry, but this event no longer exists in our database.”
A course he was booked to run at Hafan-y-coed from 22-27th June has also been cancelled.
If his track record remains the same then the other shows featured for the second half of the year will also be slashed by 75+%!!
One could logically come to the conclusion that the vast majority of his show dates are nothing more than wishful/desperate thinking on Joe’s part in a vain and desperate effort to appear popular. The real truth from the massive cancellations is that he is very unpopular. In spite of this he asks that we vote for him in the forthcoming “Spiritual Connections Acknowledgement Awards”. Well the only category that he has any chance of winning is in one that does not exist. That would be “The Psychic who has cancelled the most shows in the shortest time.” He would win this hands down.
Further evidence of Joe Power’s poor ability was confirmed in March ( I am being very polite here) when Mark Dixie, aged 34 and a chef was convicted of the murder of Sally Anne Bowman. Remember that Joe Power told us all via the Daily Mirror that the killer was a Stephan or Steven White aged between 24 and 26 and was a delivery driver.
In March he tells us that he gave significant names in the Shannon Matthews disappearance case and ensured he was photographed with the family for the newspapers. Funny how he seems unable to do these things without courting publicity. But as always there is no verifiable proof of any value to what he allegedly gave. Strange though that he did not pick up on or make comment on what we now know about her mother, step father and other members of the family. The court case later on in the year will no doubt unravel the whole story.
All in all the first 6 months of 2008 have, true to form, been an un-mitigating disaster as once again he has failed to make any impact.
