I can see we are never going to agree on this but "misrepresentation of scientific research" is damaging if it is presented as fact in a formal setting...but this is a comedy show...you know comedy...nobody believes a single word he says...we are there to be entertained...and just like comedians...he bends the truth for effect...so relax...there is a lot worse going on in the world

In what way is this parlour trick a replication of Rhine's scientific ESP experiments? Rhine's experiments were controlled tests. Thousands of trials were conducted and the cards were shuffled by a machine. This parlour trick is uncontrolled and he makes three guesses, one of which he gets wrong. Escoffey shows the typical arrogance of pseudo-scepticism.
electricfunk..for goodness sake take a chill pill..this is show business...this is entertainment...thats all...i have seen escoffey and all who watched totally enjoyed the performance and his personality.
I don't care whether his performance was good or not. I'm objecting to his misrepresentation of scientific research. You may think this is just entertainment but this kind of misrepresentation has a damaging effect however insignificant you may think it is.
In his full-length show he gives a greater exposition on Rhine - not giving a treatise as he is performing - but here you're seeing a very abbreviated snippet of part of his show here.
This is not comedy
