crystal gazer
Orb-consulting mystic
A crystal gazer is someone who claims to see visions in a crystal ball—a fortune teller or clairvoyant.
The term extends to anyone who predicts the future, often with a skeptical edge: The economic crystal gazers got it wrong again.
Crystal gazing is the practice itself.
