Thomas John Flanagan, known professionally as Thomas John, is an American who claims to be a psychic medium.

He starred in the 2018 reality TV show, “Seatbelt Psychic”, and the CBS All Access series The Thomas John Experience beginning in June 2020.

In January 2020, John began a live show at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, which was put on hiatus as of March 16, 2020.

John has been the subject of significant criticism, including his use of information acquired online during group readings (hot readings).

🔹Background

Thomas John has a history working in the entertainment industry. In 2018, John developed Seatbelt Psychic for Lifetime.

The show was produced by James Corden and his production company Fulwell 73.

The first episode aired on July 11, 2018.


🔹Format

People receive a ride from John who tells them that he can speak to the dead. He then delivers a message he claims is from their deceased loved ones while being recorded by multiple cameras in the car.


🔹Reviews

According to skeptical writer Susan Gerbic, the show is deceptively edited to create the impression that John’s guests were chosen entirely at random.

Gerbic said her own investigation revealed that guests were all local Los Angeles actors whose personal information was on file or easily accessed by the show’s producers, allowing John to use a form of hot reading to claim intimate knowledge of the guest was obtained via contact with the dead.
