A group of shamans gathered in the Peruvian capital Sunday to offer their predictions for the New Year.

The ten shamans gathered on a hill and performed their ceremonies around pictures of international celebrities.

They predicted that President-elect Barack Obama will have a successful government that will promote peace around the world. But they warned of possible attacks against him by people who quote "disagree with world peace".

They also predicted that Mexico and the U.S. will experience a "desperate crisis" when it comes to the global financial meltdown.
