SHOPPING MALL HIRES `PSYCHIC GIFT CONSULTANT'

GURNEE, Ill. (Wireless Flash) -- An Illinois mall may have predicted the future of shopping: it's hiring a psychic to help frazzled holiday shoppers find gifts for finicky friends. The Gurnee Mills mall in Gurnee, Illinois, has hired Chicago psychic Joanna Ammons to staff a new "Psychic Aid Station" placed in the middle of the mall. The "shopping psychic" will read the minds of gift recipients and let shoppers in the mall know just what their family or friends really want for Christmas, Hanukkah or any other winter holiday. Ammons says she's been doing the gift service for her private clients for years, and most recently helped a nervous Indiana man pick out a purple blouse for a brand new girlfriend. The shopping psychic will set up shop at the mall starting November 26.
