Char Margolis is an American writer and psychic medium. Margolis's claims to have paranormal abilities have been criticised by several media outlets which suggest she uses standard cold reading and hot reading tricks to perform her readings.
In 2000, on Live With Regis, Margolis revealed Kelly Ripa's second pregnancy, which Ripa had been keeping secret.
From 2002 to 2010, Margolis appeared on the Dutch television program Char on RTL 4. In a 2004 interview on the Larry King Show, she said was scheduled to record the prime time show in The Netherlands for six weeks in August. In an article, "Char, Char, Charlatan", Henk Westbroek reported in DePers.nl that in 2005 he was a guest on that show, and Margolis used cold reading and hot reading techniques on him. Westbroek said that this experience turned him into an unbeliever regarding her abilities.
