Eric Teissedre

I started doing spiritual work in 1962. I was 15. Five years later, I started working as the resident psychic at Borsodi's Coffee House in Isla Vista, California, near the UCSB campus. I worked there from 1967 to 1977.
Borsodi's was an absolutely cool place. It attracted clientele from around the world. It was started by Robert and Linda Borsodi. Later, Robert Borsodi started another coffee house in New Orleans. Working there for those 10 years, I learned my craft. I was often reading up to 20 people per day. I would start at 4 p.m. and get off work at 2 a.m. I have many wonderful memories of that time and read some incredible people from every walk of life. Being so close to the University, I was asked to be a guest lecturer and for a period of time, was teaching a class in parapsychology.
