Raven's psychic powers are put to the test in That's So Raven season 1 episode 17 titled "Psychics Wanted." Raven and Chelsea visit a psychic convention where they come across a booth advertising for psychics.
Intrigued by the idea of using her psychic powers to earn money, Raven decides to apply for the job. She is hired immediately by the booth's owner, Madame Cassandra, who claims to be a real psychic herself.
Raven and Chelsea both begin working at the booth, where they predict the future of customers based on their palm readings and tarot card readings. Chelsea, however, struggles with her psychic abilities and often gives incorrect readings.
Raven, on the other hand, thrives in her new job and is quickly promoted to give live psychic readings on stage. She is a huge hit with the audience, predicting the future of a woman who turns out to be the owner of a major corporation.
Impressed by Raven's accuracy, the woman offers her a job as her personal psychic. Raven is thrilled, but her excitement is short-lived when Madame Cassandra exposes her as a fraud.
Feeling ashamed, Raven decides to give up her job as a psychic. But before she can quit, she has to face her toughest challenge yet - predicting the future of her friend Eddie's basketball game.
With her psychic powers failing her, Raven is forced to take matters into her own hands and help Eddie win the game through her own actions. In the end, Raven realizes that her true power lies not in her psychic abilities, but in her own determination and hard work.
