James Randi - Psychic Investigator - Part 2 of 15

[MrNympholover]

When you are throwing as many common names & pinpointing a whole section of the audience where you hope somebody might roughly match what you are saying these things do happen.

He had something over his face-mmm yes perhaps if he was involved in a crash he might have been wearing a motorbike helmet & just perhaps the paramedics put an oxygen mask on him.

I am hearing the name Jimmy-little Jimmy. You calling all the little Jimmies.

[searchaltoken]

I wonder if James watches Psych

[bigdintel]

"John, James, Taylor, Dorothy..." Wow...those aren't common names or anything. These people are pathetic.

[DestructiveMass]

Cold reading sucks, boring and stupid.

[tedwilli9]

i'm so happy there are 15 parts. i have my night planned.

[WhiteTiger225]

I am sorry, but, if 33% of the chance you can get the right answer, that is not a psychic ability, that is guessing. Guessing is a 50/50 thing. Normally a person guessing a 50/50 chance will guess right 33% of the time on average, the correct answer. This means when guessing if someone has something in their left or right hand, out of 3 guesses, 1 will normally be correct. See the connection yet?

[ZZzzzzzWhat]

I have the feeling that someone scrolled down to see the comments without pausing the video. And then scrolled up to see the video again and looked at the thumbnail black and with picture and wondered if that girl with the sunglasses is that same person as the women in this video.

[1NationUnderNothing]

"I know I made a mistake," I will finish this sentence properly:

"...ever performing this lie to anyone."

[turboteabag08]

Maybe the witch hunts back in the medieval times wasn't such a bad idea. Of course witch is giving them too much credit, fraud is more accurate.

[MissPraecipua]

"Not doing bad are we" Yes if it means getting everything wrong..you're doing great..and lol@ psychic's contamination..

[licensedtolive]

I wonder how a White European psychic would do with an audience of Africans, who have names like "Egobudike" or "Omomomamuku Kambotosuezo".

[fzappa007]

Yes, ....Please give me a moment, ...Yes I see Now, Your father was a MAN, I am correct yes?, he also drove an automobile at some point in his life, I am correct?... yes?.....okay...good. Your father said he wore ...hold on now...something very odd..yes ....Okay He said he wore ....shoes......Does that sound like your pappy?? hmmm???

Wonderful yes?? I proved that I knew all about Mr. Randi's Dad...So.... How do I collect my Million Jimmy?? please, assistance?? I'm waiting !?!?!?

[880330145789]

psychic mediums are 'good guessers' at best.

[warnation101]

Why is it always they die with heart, chest or lung condition?

[strangerthanknown]

Her name was "Brown", or her hair was brown or she wore brown shoes.....he owned a Browning Rifle? Yes, yes, a man. That's what's coming through....that's what he's saying.

[petersp]

they should try this w/ a chinese audience. try guessing or pulling random names outta that!!!!

[Cryptoguy]

@roflsound Randy? Greg? Archebald? Lucy? Frank? ... Am I getting warmer?

[Landbeforetime1992]

"How'd he die?"

"Complications resulting from transformation into a newt"

"He turned into a newt?"

"Well, he got better... Until he died"

[nycolbebraddy]

LMFAO POOR JAMES RANDI GETTING TIRED READING ALL THOSE DAMN COMMONLY USED NAMES LOL

[phaldo]

"There was something over his face"

I was hoping the lady would respond "yes, I suffocated him"

[SimplyCKP]

@phaldo Does it make me terrible that I laughed at that? xD

[Tobunshi]

@SimplyCKP

Absolutely. You should feel bad.

[mooxim]

the woman at the end sounds like joe pasquali

[shawndimery]

'Im seeing a person..... with a head'

FUCK ME HE HAS THE REAL POWER! I AM NO LONGER A RATIONAL, SCEPTICAL THINKER!

[BigLundi]

Ahem. Watch this. I'm getting the name Robert Or Bob..he's a father...older gentlemen, and has a connection with a younger person.

Someone's mind was just blown.

[spurs8447]

i'm getting the word.......BULLSHIT!!!!

[Norwayflex89]

I just saw that I called her a "He". Ironic

[Norwayflex89]

That lady is pissed. I like it. He must be. She pretend that she is talking with her dead husband. What a rude douche ass bitch

[TraceurMeeka]

I feel embarrassed MYSELF watching this

[TraceurMeeka]

that woman is humiliating her, lol if i was on one of these shows, id pretend she got everything right and then tell the truth when she finished for lolz

[TraceurMeeka]

It could be someone here, or it could be someone dead, wtf, spirit don't speak english?

[iqwaxzi]

I have never seen ANYONE shorter than James Randi in his videos...?

He must be under 5 feet.

[BoingotheClown]

Holy cold reading Batman!



[Jgallstar1]

My God... My name is Jimmy! She's talking to me from the past knowing I'd be watching this video on Youtube!

[RemBlu]

At 5:43 she get's all defensive like she's gonna get burned at the stake, lol. Relax madam, your humiliation will suffice, rofl.

[ElleCM2]

She had trouble breathing before she died. Well DUH! most people do when they die! 

[wgfcrafty]

And how many psychics are dedicating their lives to giving FREE readings because they help people?

Charlatans.

Snake oil.

Charlatans.

Snake oil.

Charlatans.

Snake oil.

Charlatans.

[wiloghby]

Guy: "My mother's maiden name is Taylor."

"Psychic": "Was he your grandfather?"

Old dead man he knows with his mother's maiden name...who else could it possibly be?

[timmy47]

god these people are so obviously cold reading its sad.

[jsidiropoulou]

LOL@the names! hahahahaha



[TheEvaDionne]

I cant connect with it, james randi would never agree with a psychic.

[EvanJCastle]

I don't understand. Your website clearly endorses (and sells) spirituality, yet these videos obviously prove that the spirit world (and other crap that your website endorses) does not exist, or at very least, are out of reach from any of these people that claim it does exist.

Please explain?

[chrisoyola]

an effective test for mediums or psychics should be on African tribes, since you can't bullshit those names.

[mrmalade]

the veil between this world and the next is a very odd veil!

[Jotto999]

Elderly? Chest, heart or lung condition? Grandfather?

It doesn't take shoe-sized IQ to tell this is bullshit.

[sexyxrs]

@Jotto999 my shoe size is 34 :D and i got this ! xD

[Jotto999]

It's such obvious horseshit.

[Imabetch1]

I getting someone who died when they were old, does anyone know anyone who would've died when they were old?

[chug20]

He died of something that happened in his chest...lungs, heart, stomach, bones, appendix, liver, kidneys...something in the chest or maybe in the neck or head...possibly the brain...

[tedwilli9]

@chug20 probably in his body somewhere...

[xenutastic]

The skeptic woman at about 3 mins has a look on her face that says "Keep talking about my husband and I'll punch you in the face"

[Kakkapieru]

doris? anyone? muahahahaha!

[Cheespuffs45]

I like how he just threw the papers at the man. Hahaha

[criskity]

Oh, god! This cold reading... fishing for names... is so blatantly transparent!!

[SirJyrus]

I am actually astounded that people fall for this crap hook, line and sinker. I guess I could understand if it was even *mildly* convincing, but it's not. It's awful. In every way.

[ChurchOfKali66619]

That's why we call out priests "Necrominsters": We DEVOUR necromancers (fake-ass mediums) and ministers. All Hail the Amazing Randifer! CHOMP!!!

[Parstices]

It's hilarious how mediums will basically tell you you're flat out wrong when you don't recognize a name they're baiting. "Do you recognize Harry?" "No?" "Well, I'm sure of it, there's a Harry in there, I'm certain"

[BeanSand]

Alright, does anyone here connect with the name "Doris"? No? Does anyone here have the name "Doris", know anyone named "Doris"? No? Has anyone here heard of any names that sound vaguely like "Doris", and does that person(s) want to pipe up to spare me further embarrassment?! ANYONE?!?!

[maxsil89]

I like how some phsycists try to make people happy, but as soon as they try to earn money on it i get pissed

[8bobthebuilder]

half the audience identified with names she was throwing out lol

[13expose13]

I love it how the frauds smirk when they know the gig is up.

[kesav1985]

take this simple test. take her to africa or India where she cant even guess their names. :D

[fake2]

I feel bad for her and the client should get a refund now.

[msinummoc]

Sooooo painful...

[misadeptrai1011]

I wonder what names can she throw at a group of immigrants from a foreign country like me. If she knows about 5 names, I would be impressed.

[lesanne2]

Cold reading at its worst.

[phaloxxx]

i really love how mediums always seem to only reach people who drown and who have heart problems and troubles breathing.... is it just me or do they never seem able to get a direct name, to be able to just get a name, and that they ALWAYS seem to only be able to say how they love the person, or not to worry about money...lol...this is hilarious

[wantpussyinclub]

thats real bad cold reading skills

[Cruzito3000]

james randi gives me a hard one.

[seol1500]

I heard so called psychics from East Asia apply cold reading with the only exception that they never call out names unless the name is given from the start from the gullible participant. They claim the spirit/ghost is either too embarrassed or wishes not to tell the name. WHY? Because there are billions of different names in Asia! haha.

[mstorm007]

hahaha 37 names fuckinhell !!!!

whats really funny is the guy who says if i do 70% or 80% im happy. wtf so the spirit coming through doesnt know if its releted to the person hasving the reading done. why has it got amnesia in the spirit world. psychics are just question talkers and the punters give em the ansas... that bitch got fucking owned, funny how spirits forgot their 2nd name isnt it. and they go through all the trouble of giving 1st name letters...

[TheMiss400]

LMAOOOO E P I C FAIL

[WorthwhilePat]

It is the "psychi" ladies fault being deceitful, but up until she starts holleringI felt ba fore standing and smiling politely...but se is a fraud, like all, ALL of the rest.

[digitalwarfares]

People like her wind me up. I could just as easily say... Is there anyone reading these comments who is connected to a James, Jason or Jamie? Hmm, maybe I'm confusing myself, it could be a John, Geoff or Jack. Is anyone here who connects to one of those names? Yes? I feel that they are a family friend, perhaps a member of the family. Yes? Yes, good they are asking me... You've not been drinking a lot of water lately, have you? No? Yes, they're telling me you should drink more. It's all bollocks

[Kakkapieru]

@digitalwarfares yes. james is familiar. he used to live in same building when i was a kid.

[LovelesEntertainment]

@digitalwarfares

!!!! IVE BEEN DEAD ALL ALONG! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[digitalwarfares]

"He would have been quite elderly when he passed." - Well yeah, most people are. That's a redundant statement right there.

"He would have passed with a heart condition." - Ok that's not uncommon, but wait there's more. "A chest, lung, heart condition." - Ok, she's just broadening the range of people that would include. "Dorris, Dorothy, or Doreen." - Three common as muck names back in the day. It's all fishing for info to continue the make a hit. All she's doing is guessing, and panicking.

[FurballRZ]

37 of the most prevalent names.... lol

[theblackwidower]

"I'm sorry, I'm the wrong person for this program."

No, you're the right person for this program.

[daveygravey123456]

i feel he is your grandad lol what planet do these people come from

[NekkidMuddy]

i can sense you have a tendency to use ur nose a lot, like breathing am i right?

[wallymeldrum]

this is painful watching this lady fail so hard. all they do is call out very generic names and hope for someone looking for hope to respond. Watch the interview with richard Dawkins and Derren brown.

[Palangkaraya2008]

Randi shouldn't throw the transcript to the audience. He could just have walked there and gave it to them.

[ZenZill]

@Palangkaraya2008 Randi shouldn't throw the transcript to the audience. He could just have walked there and gave it to them.

Well, when someone hands over a transcript of their own words, then blatantly lies in your face about its contents, I believe it's the most fitting way to -just as they dismissed him- dismiss them. James is the man, disproving these loonies the way it should be done!

[Jaegar19Ultima]

What is so unbelivable is the fact that you have people today willing to entertain a spiritual/psychic belief when it has been proven to be nothing more than a con art of cold reading, slight of hand phishing for information and connect the dots generalization this should uneqivolocally prove the made up fantasy that is psychics and spirits. And religion itself would also fall under this catagory as well when you start to understand the reality of the world you find out just how limited it is

[Staticnz]

Man this lady owned herself.

[bigguitar22]

Your relatives had names but I can't hear them very clearly - we'll start with a and work through the alphabet and see hoe we get on - Vladimir that's it!!!! Pile of bollocks!

[wearefused]

"i'd love you to find Jimmy, James" and I would love you to go jump off a bridge

[thesparitan]

Her smile is so classic, she has the look of a person that is totally fucked LOL

[ManyInfiniteComments]

Don't you hate it when you have to do your magic tricks in front of an audience that won't eat your lies?

[shrew246]

I'm getting a name...does anyone here have a name?

[maxsil89]

@shrew246 oh lord.. how did you know?

[stonermagic420]

@shrew246 Good point Lol



[stonermagic420]

@shrew246 Wow ur good i have a name! thats amazing =]

[Geerardr]

@shrew246 Thank you.

[Bfdidc]

@shrew246 Wow! I have a name! It's like you've known me all my life.

[TheAntman2006]

it pains me but my mum watches john edward ALL the bloody time, i keep telling her hes the biggest douche in the universe but she wont listen!

[blade004]

@TheAntman2006 Is that dickhead "still" on TV!?

[Alekpowah]

how the f*** does anyone at all buy this crap? i can't fu**ing wrap my head around this!

[DarkeningSkies1]

@Alekpowah They buy it because they want to buy it; in instances of intense grieving they are DESPERATE to buy it. Very sad.

[OmarTheGuy]

I want to go to one of these and when she said a name like steven, I would say my dead cusin is steven. and then if she starts saying shit like he wishes he spent more time with you or steven says dont worry about the money. I would let her talk and talk. After that, I would say I never had a cusin named steven. Ha,. how can steven tell me things if I dont even know a steven.

[ZeHilda]

I like the sarcastic music when a medium is introduced

[IrishHeroMan]

Can you place bullshit? bullshit? Can someone watching this place bullshit?

[aajoeyjo]

Every excuse these psychics and their believers make for the usual failure of the readings takes away from the strength of their claims. Are they psychic or not? Does being psychic mean that they make a lot of mistakes when talking about people? Seems like a very weak scam.

[cthatshit]

so whoes jimmy?

[RelixKondor]

wow 37 names. FAIL

[TheAUKid]

This psychic gig is really unreliable! I think every psychic on the show has had an excuse... 'Oh, there's a lot of information coming through, it's all mixed up!' Thank God real life is more reliable. I'd be P'd off if YouTube only worked 25% of the time.

[zmdzmd]

ps. she should do a psychic reading on an Asian person, like Chinese for example...let's see if she gets the names right.

[zmdzmd]

did these psychics know that they were gonna get owned before coming on this show...?

[andrewridgway]

well at least she had the balls (so to speak) to actually say names rather than just drop a letter.

[hardwaresoftness]

I'm getting a Dave, maybe a Dee, no it's a Dozy or Beaky and a Mick, yes and here's Tich!

[resistanceunion]

The sad part is .. Those people who bealive this they will doo soo no matter how bad the result is.

[umasbob]

This show is cool, it's like OK your all full of shit, its obvious so f/u you fake basters! Nothing like punching people in the face, you would think most would stay away from The amazing Randy. ---37 names hahaha fake phyco's

[KevinFL]

She rattled off 37 names in 30 minutes? I'm in the wrong business, but I have a conscience that gets in the way.

[Jellogel]

Shirley, Stanley, Sid, and Steve sound like a fun bunch

[DerekMJ]

Bueller. Bueller.  Bueller.

[Vynjira]

I'm convinced, psychics are absolutely real! Too bad they're only as accurate as random chance.

[montanax]

@Vynjira well said

[SweettieeGirl]

that many names?

[AtheistBaby]

Chest, lung, heart condition? Wait...what? xD

[JokersSerious]

does nobody realize all the names she gave were not just common names, but in alphabetical order? Like she just went through a few names for each letter?? She's damn pissed this guy is owning her...

[blehblehbleh86]

@JokersSerious Most likely Randi (or his producers) alphabeticalised the list for reading. Even so, the lady is clearly full of shit.

[KakHazhar]

4:38 hahaha

[robotpanda77]

LOl. James is the #1 most common name in the English speaking world. The second male name she used was John which is #2! Of course people had some connection.

[sabdow]

@visara1313 -- OMG! My uncle's name is John! And I have a cousin named George!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'VE TOUCHED ME!!!!!!

[basterista]

I want to know what Randi tells these people to convince them to come onto this show.

OH I know; "I'll give you money."

[AtheistBaby]

@basterista Does it matter for them anyway? No. For some reason, things like this never truly manage to damage the psychics credibility. It only does so amongst the skeptic community who likely saw through them anyway.

[ExT1NcT]

@AtheistBaby That's pretty true, and kind of wierd. One word: Mind Control. :o

[FrodoDojo]

LOL - Nolebrab! Thanks man - really funny.

[dyhs2006]

wait wait...i think i'm getting a psychic reading....i think....i think you're thinking of a porn star lol

[bentleysw]

what to see a real prophet... emmanuel tv TB Joshua

[donsmand]

I get the feeling of a device...Like a calculator, but more advanced...It does calculations...c-...computatio­ns...It computes!

Are you sitting at your computer at this very moment?

[FenrirTheDevourer]

@donsmand my god, how did you know.

[AmusedChild]

Oh, yes, let's not disrespect believers' true emotions - let's "respect" them by exploiting them for a buck! I'm sorry, but the psychologist has not grasped that mediums put on a show to get MONEY out of the gullible and the vulnerable.

[slicingwater]

I thought the list was going to go from A to Z when he started reading them out.

[cltw666]

Wait till they try to get a chinese dead man.. LMAO.. chinese names are one in a million except for surname.

[Vamavid]

0:12 Most common cause of death in a US heart attack. 1:25 Most common cause of death in a youth person is an accident usually involving motor vehicle(s). The UK is probably the same.

[iSOBigD]

@Vamavid Yeah, they "see" someone old, someone who died old, someone with a heart condition maybe, or something around the lung, chest, torso, arms legs, head area.

Yes, people die due to organ failure, thanks for being specific.

[Vamavid]

@iSOBigD You should take up this cold reading gig coz you seem every bit as good. :-)

[ry20thow]

the ways he catches them out is ingenious

[xSilverPhinx]

Randi is politely butchering them one by one.

[FizzlNet]

Randi is such an asshole. I'm not sure if he is annoyed with the overall human stupidity or the charlatans who take advantage of the stupidity or what, but you can clearly see he is fucking pissed off with all kinds of scams :) Gotta love the man. Such a genuine dedication :)

[schizerbone]

I wonder why psychics never read foreigners. Try 'reading' someone without the names "James, Jimmy", etc. They'll never last.

[Chirox82]

"I've got an Ahmed here... something that sounds like Ah... Perhaps Mohammad... Would anybody recognize a Mohammad here?"

[FasterSoldiers]

I love how he just takes them out one by one lol

[hughjengin]

@FasterSoldiers I know, he`s like a sniper isnt he!

[Bugzelot]

Chest lungs heart condition...

[terminaldeity]

Why do these people even go on Randi's show? It's painful just to watch how badly they fail.

[tupacalypse88]

lol i keep having the same thoughts.

[arsenelupin123]

Does that make sense to you ?

Who's Jimmy?

Hang on a minute, who's...

Oh I made a mistake!

When theses videos aren't edited, they're very very funny.

[ebart1961]

I don't know, I get angry when they do "well", and kind of ashamed for them when they don't.

Plus, those TV signals reached many stars already...we'll never know if there's any advanced civilization out there...they'll never contact us.:)

[CloverCATOREE]

lol of course hahah she pics names like taylor jimmy james john lol it couldn't be more general than that. i can see into the future hahaha beat that LOL

[surgeyX]

@CloverCATOREE

I'm getting a SMITH, is anyone here named SMITH!?!? ROFL! So obvious!

[amattrials]

omg I once saw Jimmy James and the Vagabonds lol. Epicfail!

[amattrials]

omg I once saw Jimmy James and the Vagabonds. Spooky. epicfail

[Mercurybath]

Just once I'd like to see "I'm getting the name Zimpapajuweah, does the name Zimpapajuweah mean anything to anyone here?"

[tupacalypse88]

lmao that would make me belive.

[coolman1444]

does your name start with an a?

peter-no

b,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p

peter- P! Peter! My names Peter!

is your name Peter?

peter-wow you are some kind of sorcerer

hahaha i love family guy

[ikvsabre]

"I'd love you to find Jimmy"...

so I don't look like a complete fraud

[captinsparrow]

dorris doreen dominos dot dorathy bill bob lance laurie dennis frank mike or something like that? in some area here?

[killerskillet]

something with a D? or a C? DEFINITELY a consonant started his or her name. Do you know anything about someone whose name started with a consonant?

[fedetedin]

@captinsparrow richard james ezekiel ... something like that i think, i could also be picking up herbert or virgil

[FFFUUUUUUUU]

If you are familiar with the name "rob" or "robbie", maybe "bob", "robin", "carlos"? Then he/she/it would like to let you know he or she or it hates you and you should donate 10 dollars to me.

[Yamcha67]

I don't know why women are so attracted to this bullshit :P.

[Andybaby]

i am psychic. Let me do a reading now..Give me thumbs up if you are wearing a red t-shirt with white letters. Or a Blue t-shirt. Or one with no letters. Or it might be a shirt. Does this make sense to you? Or you might own a t-shirt. Or a jacket. Or if you're sitting on an office chair. And if you like to watch youtube clips. On a computer..

[PhoenixAssassin999]

OMG Andybaby! You got me pegged! That's incredible! Do you do private readings? My current pyschic charges $500 an hour. Can you do $450?

hahaha

[mojoxrisin]

HaHa "I'd love it if it made sense to you"

The part where "He's reaching out his hand" Is just pure exploitative evil. You can even see tha lady cringing. Its just putrid.

[mojoxrisin]

"You should have told you (dead) husband that". I want her to be decapitated, then I want her body to be fed to hungry boars. Then, and only then, will her existence has purpose. Sustenance for wild animals. And even those beasts could not erase her disgrace and pure pathetic emotional abuse to the grieving. Fuck.

[ikvsabre]

That's amazing! How did you figure that!?

;-)

[tupacalypse88]

jesus u got me to amazibng let me send u all my money.
