If someone ever comes up to you and claims they are psychic, simply ask them when the last time they won the PowerBall jackpot or the Mega Millions jackpot. If they tell you they don't play the lottery, tell them they are just as full of shit about that as they are about their "predictions" (be sure to use the air quotes) and then walk away.

Bilbo Baggins effectively destroyed all psychics ever with the simple question, 'What have I got in my pocket?' If they can't tell you that, why should they be trusted to tell you anything?

Lint.

Bilbo gave his ring to Frodo, so his pocket is now empty.

You make the unjustified assumption that the pocket in question remained forever empty after Bilbo's divestiture of the ring.

Oh, you're a psychic? How do you find time for flee markets in between being forced to work for the government at gunpoint and being forced to work for the military at gunpoint?
