You need to raise whatever you do to a mystical level. An example is the horse psychic. She used to talk to horses in person, Then, she decided to do it over the phone. She’d speak to the horse for 30 minutes, tell the owner that he’s not happy with the stable he’s in and needs one with a western view - or he’s not happy with the person looking after him, the owner would make the change, then the horse would win the derby. Once she had a few stories like that, she was set. Doing it over the phone takes what she does (which is already mystical) to a whole new level of mystery.
