    Matt Fraser

    Spartanburg · Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium, 385 N Church St

    Matt Fraser, America’s Top Psychic Medium and a New York Times bestselling author, brings a 90-minute, interactive evening of mediumship to Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. Seen on television connecting audiences with messages from the spirit world, he moves through the crowd giving real-time readings and sharing names, memories, dates, and details recognized by loved ones who have passed. Attendees watch messages take shape in the moment, often witnessing skeptics soften as specific, emotional insights spark comfort, healing, laughter, and tears. Whether a message comes through for you directly or during someone else’s reading, many people find the words resonate and provide exactly what they needed. Every seat offers the chance to experience his gift up close. No two events are alike, as each night is guided by spirit and shaped by the people in the room. Tickets are limited and the event is expected to sell out.
