crystal-gazer
Orb-watching mystic
A crystal-gazer is someone who gazes into a crystal ball to supposedly see the future or hidden truths—a fortune-teller or clairvoyant.
By extension, it's anyone who claims to predict future events, often used skeptically or dismissively: The economic crystal-gazers got it wrong again.
The practice is crystal-gazing.
