ясновидение (отсюда second-sighted)

‘He's got the second sight...’ ‘Second sight, me [= my] foot,’ Mike insisted; ‘There's no such thing.’ (D. Cusack, ‘Picnic Rates’, ch. X) — - Он обладает даром ясновидения... - Ясновидения? Черта с два! Такого в природе не бывает.

‘Are you good at it?’ ‘Nothing to be good at. You let people - women, that is - talk about themselves and then tell it back to them and they think you've got second sight.’ (J. Steinbeck, ‘The Winter of Our Discontent’, part I, ch. I) — - А вы в самом деле умеете гадать? - Тут особого умения не требуется. Наслушаешься, что люди, то есть женщины, говорят о себе, а потом им же все это и выложишь, а они считают тебя пророчицей.
