Welcome to the Official Site of Dean 'Midas' Maynard
Dean 'Midas' Maynard is one of the country's top Celebrity & Sports Prediction Experts, who uses his psychic ability to forecast and support a range of participants in celebrity and sporting careers. Nicknamed 'Midas' by the press due to his many successful predictions, Dean has received widespread acclaim in the UK and USA, in the media and online.
Dean uses his unusual ability to both provide predictions and support by drawing luck towards a chosen recipient. Though his methods may seem extraordinary, his rate of success speaks for itself.
Due to his ongoing successes and tipping challenges, Dean is regularly in demand for television, radio, press and online media. He is the psychic horseracing tipping expert for eclipsemagazine.co.uk, writes for Chat It's Fate and Spirit & Destiny magazines, and has been hailed as "The country's top sports psychic" by FourFourTwo magazine for his football forecasts. He is also the resident prediction expert for Viking FM and BBC Three Counties radio stations.
When it comes to celebrities, Dean mostly focuses on Reality TV shows, usually tipping contestants in the early stages of the competitions and notably forecasting winners on X-Factor (Leona Lewis), Big Brother (Rachel Rice & Sophie Reade), Dancing On Ice (Suzanne Shaw & Hayley Tamaddon), I'd Do Anything (Jodie Prenger), Eurovision (Norway) and I'm A Celebrity (Gino D'Acampo). Dean has worked alongside major celebrities including Westlife, Ant & Dec, Chris Moyles and Dermot O'Leary.
Amongst his sports achievements, Dean was honoured to be part of the Bring Back Beckham campaign, which resulted in David Beckham being restored to the England squad in May 2007. He was also part of the noteworthy FA Cup upsets with Torquay United (2007) and Blyth Spartans (2008) and he famously predicted Stoke City would survive in the 2008/09 Premier League against all expectations.
Dean has a good record with many other sporting events including the Grand National, where he still remains unbeaten after challenges in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 against a team of professional tipsters.
Though Dean's prediction work fits with what many people might expect from a psychic, his support work adds an extra dimension: after Dean has tipped a winner, he often continues to focus on his selections for years afterwards, drawing luck and success towards them to help them achieve their goals. Prime examples are Escala (originally from Britain's Got Talent and now an international touring musical act) and Niki Evans (originally from X-Factor and now a star of the West End).
In addition to his Celebrity & Sports Prediction Expertise, Dean is a respected Ghost Investigator and has also consulted on the 'Bownessie' monster search as featured on Sky news and on ITV's The Lakes.
