James Randi - Psychic Investigator - Part 3 of 15

[thecrookedman1]

I think he described Hugh Laurie very accurately, even though Hugh and Stephen both denied it.

[Zepthire]

@thecrookedman1 Me too. I think they just didn't want to let on that he was accurate.

[bigdintel]

@thecrookedman1 You don't know Hugh Laurie.  Despite what you may think, he's not like the Dr. House you see on T.V.

[livedandletdie]

Atheism increases about 1% each year. Christianity decreases by 2% each year. Buddhism increases by 0.01% each year. Hinduism Decreases by 0.5% each year. Judaism decreases though ever so slow. Islam increases 0.5% each year. These numbers mean that Either religious people are getting smarter or dies more often than atheists which I think is funny, I mean it's fun.

[Gajoobles]

@livedandletdie Where did you get these numbers?

[WhiteTiger225]

9:57 House! Quick! Debunk this ahole!

[fzappa007]

Damn I love Jimmy !!! He stuff's it right into the faces of these wack-job

charlatans...fucking crooks, just give 'em a gun and they would be terrorizing

the whole bloody city........fucking maggots!!

you GO STRONG Jimmy, you go strong!!!!!!!

[Tobunshi]

Why is there an advertisement in the annotations of a video that debunks this sort of stuff?

[Tanaka666666]

You know what would be really funny?

Bring to that scammer b1tch some Asians... Chinese, Korean or Jap. Or someone from East Europe and see if she can guess at least ONE single name !! bwahahahahahaah

[Hochichin]

@Tanaka666666 stop it my sides are hurting from laughing....

[Madman1234855]

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie FTW

[CalamityM]

OMG! Fry and Laurie at 9:52!

[Hochichin]

@CalamityM HOUSE!!!!

[JahElJah]

What's up with all the illuminati symbolism, way too much for an innocent exposure.

[mooxim]

as much as it makes sense to say "you've seen the evidence now you decide whether this is true or not", i prefer it when P&T come out and say they know it's bullshit and you should too.

[Norwayflex89]

Anyone know if any of those two kids ever got found? It made me really sad even though it is so long ago. From a concerned atheist without morals.

[Norwayflex89]

anyone know if those kids ever got found? It made me sad. Even though its long back. From a evil atheist without morals.

[ciaobellakate]

Johnathan Cainer sucks. He is published in so many newspapers and magazines in my country and he is a complete hack who makes a living from being vague.

[xierotron]

so if their information is not 100% accurate and yet they give information to the police wouldnt that be dangerous and lead to false inprisonment if the police take the psychics seriously and give them any credit at all

[TheEvaDionne]

She did good, better than I would have. He gives her no credit.

[wgfcrafty]

@TheEvaDionne She guess better than you? She deserves no credit.

[HBKRichie]

wow horror scoop man has influence over the recording equipment, out of this world

[Fapsamup]

James Randi may be skeptic, but he is insensitive in sertain ways.

[EvanJCastle]

@Fapsamup

Know why? Because people like these "psychics" are insensitive in taking money or gaining fame by hassling people who are grieving. They deserve less than "nice". These vultures deserve to be shut down.

[2134546]

@EvanJCastle I AGREE



[livedandletdie]

@EvanJCastle or shot down just like christians muslims and jews.

[OdeToNecrophilia]

@Fapsamup explain.

[youtu521]

shit bella is the ghost

[Jotto999]

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry at 9:51!

They look so young here.

[greenjelly01]

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie!!

[Salment]

Is that a young Stephan fry in the front row?

[mrbbartok]

god I hate logic

[unfathomablebo]

Why has a pro-spiritualism channel uploaded a series which debunks spiritualism?????

[dannysquirrel]

@unfathomablebo I know, I was just about to ask that! What gives?

[Smithpolly]

@unfathomablebo Shhh. Skeptic infiltration.

[jtpruzz]

Because if he laughed during the demonstration i'm sure the psychics would act insulted and refuse to go on, and they wouldn't be proven a fake.

[jtpruzz]

jack the ripper?

[djwattz06]

james randi is a genius and thats cuz hes canadian

[ecks2elev2]

actually he is describing the character that hugh laurie plays on the show house

[theookie]

I want to punch all these psychic douches. Praying on the broken hearts of lost souls. :(

[theookie]

@theookie lol. "preying"... ive had a couple beerth... 

[chadsexinton]

why would those people agree to come on the show to embarass themselves?

[molyvenson]

@chadsexinton I ask myself the same question. it seems so stupid if they know they are going to fail.

[geordietoddy]

@chadsexinton maybe they're not charlatans and actually believe they DO have psychic powers - poor deluded souls. :/

[hatemorethanyou999]

I'm sensing something--it's brown and stinky--it's in a pasture on top of grass, there is a bull nearby . . .

[Rage905]

0:31 "What I do is illogical." That's about the most logical thing she has said to date.

[xShadowxPhoenix]

Not saying I believe in psychics but I bet if he made that 'reading' today it would make more sense

[WorthwhilePat]

Whoa, 111 likes and 1 dislike. Thats 11:11, wow how spiritual! :/

[HoneyNVinegar]

I love how most people don't know that Hugh had a career long before House, lol.

[Umang81]

hahahaha.... 'you're trying to explain all that I do with logic. What I do is illogical' .... precisely!!!

[teddorward]

it is kind of funny though, that "astrologer" is talking right on the money about the "house" character

[theblackwidower]

"What I do is illogical!"

No shit!

[Forserean]

i love how Laurie keeps his head down and Fry just nods along grinning.

[blu3vibration]

I can see psychics as being marginally useful in that they may provide a random direction for investigators with no leads to move toward. While this in itself is not helpful, the placebo effect of having *some* direction, combined with a fresh review of evidence to attempt to reconcile facts with whatever has been said, may be beneficial.

Of course, this is more easily accomplished by outfitting police departments with an official magic 8-ball.

[wearefused]

he busts them in such a charming and non aggressive way, a true jent

[thesparitan]

I love the look of these scam artist faces when they woowoo is shown to be all a bunch of bullshit

[NOyaPara]

Omg there was dr, HOUSE ... at about 8 : 30 or something :D 

[TheAntman2006]

"what i do is illogical" nuff sed

[JenniMystic]

I work with a woman who claimed to be a psychic, and was surprised to see that my hubby was a former customer of hers and used to hit on him all the time. Bitch should've known if she was psychic, hahahahha.

[RawwestHide]

@asdrubalamv I do not know if he is a millionaire, however he was given that million dollars that he was given for the challenge. That is not his own personal money, someone gave it to him in an attempt to up the ante of the challenge. So if you're basing the idea of him being a millionaire on that, you'd be wrong.

[RelixKondor]

I like how polite Randi seems.

I wonder if there's an unedited version where he argues with an angry psychic. XD

[TheAUKid]

LOL The loss of sound got me... I turned my sound up high >.>

[tml4873]

Anyone know if this was a series, or just a one-off special?

[TougeBoss]

Ha Fry and Laurie.

[nadoeloiskat]

How old is this show? I just cant believe that there is still psychics working and making big money in the USA. Come here and your'll be broke as shit but dont worry our goverment will give you the place to live, money and of course a psychiatrist for free of charge. we pay enough taxes for that.

[jazzx251]

@nadoeloiskat

1991 is when this show was made.

[LonesomeTroubadour]

Nella worst psychic demonstration ever!

[alienisuntverus]

I love the fact that he did the prediction on Hugh Laurie who later stars as a character who openly ridicules the subject and related things.

[halfpennystudios]

I wonder if the missing children were ever found - anyone know?

[hkpho0ey]

@halfpennystudios Sadly not. Suzy Lamplugh was a very famous case in the UK. Just checked on wikipedia and a new Police investigation was started last month. Although officially she was declared dead before this program was made.

Lee Boxell is listed on a few missing persons website so would appear to still be missing.

Hope this helps.

[halfpennystudios]

@hkpho0ey Thanks for the detective work - sad news though.

[Healingproof]

@zenithsage For your info, I dont pay for my TV-License (omg spellt wrong?!) so I don't watch TV. I've been to USA twice. It's a nice country, but I see about litterally 100x as many overwieght peoples in the US as I see when i walk around in sweden (no capital, shit :S). And I've played Moden Watfare with americans, played WoW with americans, there's just no doubt that the percentage of completely retarded humans that lives there are far higher than anywhere else in the world.

[Healingproof]

@zenithsage Hahahah xD This is exactly what I'm talking about. I just said that I'm swedish and the first thing you do is bash my english grammar. In sweden, English isn't our native language. You learn something new every day huh :) The moon isnt a planet. Damn, you just learned 2 things in 1 day =) Now, you speak your secondary language perfect and without any incorrect grammar/spellings and I won't call you a hypocrit ;)

[msqrt]

His description fits me D:

[disnamewasavailable]

Why is House acting like he is british? haha jk.

[Healingproof]

I'm so amazed that James Randi can be american... I mean wtf? An american that's actually intellectual and smart and not fat & dumb? Is he adopted or something? Does anyone know?

[pitcalco]

@Healingproof He was actually born in Canada....which makes it even more amazing. (Of course, I am just joking. America-bashers are just bigots).

[Healingproof]

@pitcalco Are you kidding? xD Hahahaha, I'm yet to see one smart American.. You all just seem so fat and retarded to me, no offence lol

[pitcalco]

@Healingproof What do you mean "you"? I am a Swede. If you really are surprised to find a smart American than you are as bonkers as the "psychics". If you want to see truly dumb people believing in stupid things, come visit Sweden. We have plenty. I hate to say it about my own country, but Swedes are some of the one-dimensional, shallow people in the world (not to mention rude) --and they actually believe they are clever!

[Healingproof]

@pitcalco I'm swedish too and that's far from true. Perhaps you live in stockholm or skåne, then it might be true for your city.

[squirreljester2]

9:10 is that House?

[hkpho0ey]

@squirreljester2 Yes, actually Hugh Laurie was a fairly famous comedian/actor in the UK before becoming House. The man next to him at at 09:37 is Stephen Fry who was his comedy partner. If you have time I recommend Blackadder goes fourth which should be easy to find on youtube.

[affablegiraffable]

@hkpho0ey

fuck yeah blackadder!!

[mackeymkay]

Fry and Laurie on this show! Wheeee!

[peteryyz43]

3.45........Hairstyle FAIL!!!

[Mattysmyth0593]

Is that stephen Fry and Hugh laurrie at 9:52 ?

[Mattysmyth0593]

@Mattysmyth0593 HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY WAS!

[JonathanAnon]

Nulla looked like she was gonna murder Randi with the axe...

[hollowfocus001]

Am i the only one who noticed the all seeing eye @ 5:04 sec

[hollowfocus001]

Am i the only person who noticed the all seeing eye in this video?

[lupozor]

0:42 if looks could kill... she does not look that happy :p

[mornmeril]

What's House doing in the front row?

[SweettieeGirl]

that's to cheap.. no that's far way to exspensive lol xD

[Dee3BoobTube]

Did the crime psychic explain how she doesn't pick up energies from people who manufactured the items? Or things the items were used for other than the crime?

[LifeInBrunswick]

@Dee3BoobTube Considering that two of the items she talked about weren't used for anything, what could she say that wasn't BS?

[ilikeblondie]

when was this filmed or released?

[JokersSerious]

haha, half the items she got nothing from, the something she did get on the rest was false...LMFAO

[Ilikemustard]

Ahahaha "What I do is illogical".

What an absolutely compelling argument. I'm sure she expects us all to completely believe that she's genuine after such an unrefutable statement.

[ChurchOfKali66619]

@Ilikemustard ---and she charges $35 a minute to do it, too.

[browne3581]

Haha dr house. thats so long ago & what a haircut fry had.

[iSOBigD]

@browne3581 Holy shit, they had Stephen Fry on the show. I can't wait to see the next part, he usually tears into these kinds of people!

[tantzer]

I have to admit, some of these psychics are artists. But they are not starving artists.

[demonforte]

Randi is just brutal, he rips these people apart without mercy!

[NekoMouser]

@demonforte

These frauds and charlatans deserve no mercy. They prey on the weak, the stupid, and the emotional distraught. Most of them probably deserve jail time if they deserve anything.

I'm sure Randi would be quite merciful were an actual, provable psychic to turn up.

[acme181169]

I'm Surprised these people were willing to expose their lack of abilities!

[slicingwater]

@acme181169 As James Randi said these are the people who haven't evaluated their power or actually think they are pysicic the smart ones stay away from him and maintain their reputation.

[deserter85]

Just one question: Do the psychics really believe in their bullshit?

[CriticalAtheist]

Some do, some don't or it's a weird mix of lying or exaggerating what they really believe is an ability. Either way, it's sad.

[paulbottomley42]

How heartless does one have to be to tell a mother who lost her son that he's dead?

Seriously, at least if you're going to lie, speak some comfort to the poor woman!

[bluechair5]

what i do is illogical HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA

[blitzerkrik]

RE: AHAHAHAAHAHAHA  AAHHHAHAHAHAH

[kidigus]

@bluechair5 HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA....

*cough*

AAAHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

[korasq]

this guy in the audience - front row, obviously it is his horoscope.

Isnt it Dr.House?

I could swear he looks just like that actor

[Jepperto]

ye its house!

[FasterSoldiers]

lmao it looks like a young dr house!

[reallynaked]

it is!

[Linkirvana]

@FasterSoldiers it is laurie im quite sure

[JamesFarrkoff]

@Linkirvana Next to him is Stephen Fry. :)

[Bugzelot]

WHO WANTS TO FIGHT?!

[kazuyamishima112]

what the fuck?, hugh laurie and stephen fry?

[terminaldeity]

I thought the same thing

[Stuckherewithyou]

People love it when you tell them that their dead relatives are watching them and are still existant in some none testable plain of reality that differs from person to person. Just like telling a child that santa or jesus is watching them and loves them, and will come and bring them something nice if they are good.

[christhecurler]

The music is hilarious!

I don't know how James Randi can keep a straight face during the demonstrations.

[puppetaccountable]

@christhecurler that music was considered epically awesome those days. Randy had to control himself with extreme mental strength not to burst into tears and start crying "MY GOD I CAN FEEL IT MAN!!! I CAN FEEEEL THE MUSIC!"

[fake2]

@christhecurler He's a professional.

[IDMWEIGHTSIDM]

i think its hilarious how she actually says "what i do is illogical" LOL

[templar19]

That first mother is rather pathetic. You don't need to be psychic to suggest all sorts of ways someone could be missing or where they might be.

[ikvsabre]

So the first woman, her daughter is still missing, and yet she thinks the psychics have helped.

HOW?

If they are so good, her daughter would be home (or her body found)

[Toby678]

Yeeey! Fry & Laurie!

[Tracywithafacey]

Y do they always have to wear crazy stupid clothes

[mojoxrisin]

There will always be uncertainty in this world, some of which causes immense pain. And when this is the case there will always be a sick, sick individual trying to exploit this pain to make a dollar. I don't believe in hell but sometimes I wish it existed in order for all those people to suffer for eternity. With my belief system they get off easy by just dying and rotting 6 feet underground.

[BalthazzarCH]

you sir, have a weird fetish

[johnd94]

I predict that you will die eventually.....When that comes true, I will be happy to collect my million dollars from James Randi, whom I fucked in the asshole.

[GrowABrainstem]

Only people with no other skills to offer society become psychics. They gotta make money, see. So they gotta make you believe 'em, see. Any way they can.

Have a nice day.

[fightthepurple]

I have no idea how these people still get work after getting their professions trashed regularly on TV / trials.

It seems crazy that the guy who Randi busted by showing his wife was TELLING him details of client's still got work.

[webmaster2089]

yeah, peter popoff. he's a giant douche but there are plenty of stupid people to take advantage of.

[captinsparrow]

what i do is illogical.... no my dear what you do (in the words of penn and teller... is bullshit!!

[FFFUUUUUUUU]

I have no idea what Randi was talking about! EVERYTHING that man had said about Dr. House is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!111one

[Kenner81]

Randi is the man...He just owns these scammers

[Martial024]

Crime solving and policing should be done with cold hard logical facts.

It is sooooo wrong to bring in a crazy ass person who claims they know what they look like and who they hang out with on a open missing persons case.

[DJuggz06]

I agree, you might end up putting the wrong person in jail. Or the right person for the wrong reason :P

[Higgs666]

she said it best, what she does is illogical

[Nolebrab]

suitcase full of lots of different guesswork "has been helpful and given the police new avenues" "she is still missing"

Well done.

[awesomeubermensch]

this pocket knife.. i'm picking up assualt.

this bloody wrench...seems to be innocent.

and this hammer... i'm picking up... a hammer. i'm sensing a hammer in my hand. it's as if it were.. 1 kilogram.

[awesomeubermensch]

it's almost as if the hammer were being used for proving i'm a phony. why am i getting this feeling?

[RadjaWiki]

wtf is dr house doing there?

[FretNinja]

Randi is a bloody legend.

[sethsassy]

"What I do is illogical" I agree completely.

[bman170]

She sums up all these "psychic" douchebag con artists in one sentence. Bravo, what you do is illogical. It is also BULLSHIT.

[JamesFarrkoff]

"What I do is illogical": An argument from ignorance if I've ever seen one.

[mahound9]

@sethsassy It's so illogical, that in fact it's COMPLETE BULLSHIT.

[MuslimahX79]

6:28

[kapwns]

do you think jonathan cainer wears clothes like that regularly or did he say to himself, "well im goin' on the tele, better pick up some guru wear"?

[nearadyn]

"Guru wear"....never leave home without it.

[MrCanabliss]

9:54 is that stephen fry?!

[RymoMymo]

At 9:54 It does appear to be Stephen Fry sitting next to Hugh Laurie!

[M0rganKane]

I think you're right! :)

[tvargan]

thats because.... it is!

[tvargan]

Yes it is, they are both guests on the show.

[Lonyguy]

you're right!

that's kinda cool

i wouldn't have seen it if you didn't point it out to me! :D

[undisputedgreatest]

That missing lady/girl is very pretty...especially for a British girl.

[TimeyTimey]

So what is the trick with the watch about?

[johnd94]

I think Randi used the clean hand thing to distract the man while he manually changed the watch dial.

[worldsworstjukebox]

0:26 "James, you're trying to explain all that I do by logic. What I do is illogical."

Truer words were never spoken. Now, if only we could get the Pope to admit this.

[copperblade]

Is that Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry sitting in the front at the end?

[TheMeeble]

yes

[unknownorigin84]

"What I do is illogical" that is just a classic!

[wizkidme]

eating thumbtacks is illogical. perhaps I should pursue this goal.

[laxton19]

It explains everything! If its illogical, it cannot be contested. So it must be right!

[salamirterra]

I'm surprised Randi missed the opportunity to say "Well I don't argue with that."

[infamousshadow92]

i sure hate physics

[xXominXx]

*psychics
