Nettie,
My uncle doesn't do it only for the money. He like to help people and will often accept much less for those in desperate need. Sometimes for free. AND sometimes for much more than a $1000 dollars. Those who Can afford more will pay more. How much are his services worth to you and how much can you pay? Its not all about the money. IF you are trully a richeous person than you should be willing to sacrifice material good for spiritual betterment. You see, its a two way thing. He's kind of used as a medium If you dont want it bad enough, than he cant give it to you. And the only way you can physcially want it bad enough is by making a painful sacrifice - in the form of money. Difficult to explain. Phone up a real Kaballist for the facts and it'll make pefect sense.
But you also have to understand that its a very draining practice. More than 1-2 hours of day will make you very sick. He also has a huge family to support, 10 kids and doing so in New York isn't easy especially when your ill. You also have to understand that in New York, and all across North America, there are people willing to pay you big $$$ if you can help them get what they want, IE a true love, a cure to your disease, but most commonly help with family problems. which he's done. Theres nothing immoral about doing your job unless money is your sole concern which his is quite definately not.
Though, I cant speak for my uncle, I can tell you he is a very generous AND genuine man.

Now, this guy has studied the Torah (Jewish Bible) and other books for his entire life, including the Zohar. Kaballah is a lot more that psychic abilities though. Its about become more spiritual and attaining a higher level of existance. Psychic powers may just be a byproduct. You have to fine tune your brain to attain this and studying this literature is the way to do it. Kaballah basically boils the world into a science. To quote a famous Rabbi, The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches a practical (and scientific) method to attain the upper world and source of our existence. By realizing our true purpose in life, man attains perfection, tranquility, unbound enjoyment and the ability to transcend the limitations of time and space while still living in this world. Difficult to explain really. You see, in Judaism we believe that events down here on earth first occur at a higher level, on a higher plane of existance. We feel the breath of this plane perse, comes down here, and these "breaths" can be seperated and classified differently, for example there is the gevurah, in other words the right hand among other things which are symbolic of these "breaths". SERIOUSLY, you have no Idea how difficult it is to explain in a few simply sentences, especially since I am not learned in this art. However, I can recommend a good site which will explain the art of Kaballah quite well to you.

There are a few articles on here that I especially recommend you read. One in particular tries to explain the meaning of life and does so quite well. You have to understand the spirtituality before you can understand what exactly "psychic" powers are.
I know you may be interested in attaining the actual psychic powers, but if you manage to attain existance on a higher level than psychic powers will become a peripheral interest. Kabballah really isn't mysticism. Its somewhat of a science. How else, could a book written a thousand years ago know so much about how the human body works? about enzymes and hormones - though they werent alluded to under those names. including all types of basic anatomy. Not to mention anomalies we haven't yet discovered, and things we are on the brink of discovering, ie the nature of consciousness.
I'll give you a few examples of this kaballah I've been witness to or directly heard of.
One day, me my dad and my uncle walked into a Jewish delicattesin. Immediately, someone recognized him as being this great Kaballist and practically begged my uncle to do something psychic, to show him that it was for real. So, my uncle went on about his family, about the daughter who had an abortion and things which went on in his family, he did not know, or even suspect. You see, my uncle knows this stuff because he sits higher on the plane of existance. Its like staring of a cliff into a canyon of time. YOu can see much further than if you were actually inside the canyon like the rest of us.
There really isn't much I can explain about it. You have to read the articles firsthand in order to trully understand what kaballah is and I can guarantee you that its the best information on kabballah existant on the net. THeres alot of false crap you might find on the net. THis is the real shit, though you may be dissapointed in what you read because it's not magic. Like yoga, or whatever the practices are in eastern culture, you can train your brain to get on a higher plane of existance by understanding existance itself. This translates into eventual psychic powers. Keep in mind, my uncle has been studying this stuff since the age of 6 way the hell away in Morocco, so dont expect to contact evil spirits or anything
Everybody has psychic powers. SOme brains are more fit that others. I think its the hypothalamus part of the brain thats sensitive to quantum vibrations in your surroundings. Kinda like a radio tuner.
-Have fun!
BTW, its 1:30 am, I'm very incoherent right not, but may have some things to add in the morning.
TTYL!
