James Randi exposes James Hydrick

[opiateofthemasses]

holy fucking Bob Barker

[Arvestotia]

use the force luke....oh wrong number...never mind

[GAdvertiseYourself]

I still believe we all have the ability to do things that are seen as nonsense by the media. We have purposely been fooled into believing things like telekinesis are fake because our leaders/governments don't want us to discover new things that may make us realise we don't have to live the way they make us.

This is my opinion, no one has the right to correct me. If you want to, simply don't....

[Be4TinGyoU]

Just read up on this guy on wiki, he's in prison now for molesting 5 boys!

[hydrall9]

Why is it that people believe people like this when they do ONE, just ONE trick? "Holy shit! he can move a pencil across a table with his mind!!! HAIL HYDRICK!!!"

[IndividualParties]

Hahahahaha, yet another triumph of reason and rationalism over spiritualism.

[youngfeniansofeire]

james randi must of meeting some really weird people over the years...

[4aSteadyStateEconomy]

Randi should offer $1,000,000 to anyone who can prove that CO2 doesn't trap heat. Many have tried, with about as much authenticity as Hydrick, Geller, etc.

[xXxStellaAquaticaXx]

@4aSteadyStateEconomy And methane (CH4) traps heat 70 times more than CO2 !!

[EveryoneIsRussian]

why i did not know this guy before haha, +1

[mossbergmaniac1947]

Now you've had enough.......bitch.

[ifritejr]

James Hydrick face at 9:49 - OOOOOHHHHHHH SHIIIIIITTT

[ifritejr]

Poor James Hydrick he lived in era, he actually go on tv and get fuck

[joecoool100]

So thats where the Dumb and Dumber hair cut came from

[lifeandtimesofband]

Is there a term for being " owned beyond belief "? Think I'll start it, and call it ' Hydricked'!!

[autopsy87]

the foam is causing static electricity making the pages stick? LMFAO. and another one bites the dust.

[Cheapshot420420]

napolean dynamites dad

[kellygene55]

this guy took gung fu waaay to seriously, its all symobology for being a better person, doesnt mean ya get dang ol' psychic powas

[PianomanMNL]

Straight from Wiki:

Present day

In 1989, James Hydrick received a 17-year sentence for molesting 5 boys.[5] He is currently incarcerated at a California prison (California Men's Colony CDCR# G03069, as of 12-14-2011).[6]

[philipheubeck]

by 10:30 he's got to be shittin' bricks

[PicoRiveraStrangler]

that fuckin' hair.

[immak4u]

another sucker got owned by randi!

[youngbloodfalife1993]

Is it just me or does he sound like bob barker...

[jyeeswoosh18]

@youngbloodfalife1993......It IS Bob Barker...

[arashiangel]

i'm thankful for james randi for trying to stop all the fakers out there.

lisa williams would get the one million tho ;)

[paintballingguy]

Wow, Bob barker looks so young, and Randi looks the exact same! Who's the robot now?

[xsdeafrox]

Dr Dre!

[azbacnikorange]

I so admire James Randi but was he ever young or was he born bald with a white beard?

[kristianthaulow]

I find this extremely funny. James is the incarnation of stupidity...

[setnoset]

that was no proof against his claim. Hydrick's explanation had been judged. However, physics is not yet complete so we cannot claim there is no electrostatic electricity caused. We can claim that insofar as our theories are concerned this is not possible. Also according to one interpretation of quantum mechanics, the mind influences matter in the subatomic scale. electricity has also its origins in the subatomic scale. I would be cautious before making any conclusions in this experiment.

[plooptube]

@setnoset there's a video in the related video bar which shows Hydrick telling everybody he was blowing the pages

[setnoset]

@plooptube I know that but that is not the point. The point is that the explanation has not been shown false for psychic techniques in general, not just in Hydrick's case.

Im actually a bit suspicious of that video even though i do not think he is psychic... It is not a one clear continuous interview of him but rather passages that together make him say that. It is not clear that the context is what it is portrayed to be. so im not sure.

[DrTorture28]

Even if his powers were real, what fucking use is taking two minutes to build the power to turn a pencil slightly, or flip a page.

[ElectronicMusicUK]

@DrTorture28 could be useful while spending 17 years in prison....you could get the guard's keys to turn slightly and flip the cell door open!

[metaldave08096]

@ElectronicMusicUK He should also serve time for his horrible haircut!!!

[ElectronicMusicUK]

@metaldave08096 and another fuckin 17 years added on to that for that stupid fuckin frock he's wearin!

[ignorantswede]

14:40 Hahaha!! That smile, cocksucker knows he's fucked! >:D

[xwulfd]

Judge #2 : They didnt asked me anything , they didnt let me speak something T______T. im quitting my job!

[jorgitoonce]

04:52 when he take the pencil we can see a thread.... and then James Hydryc cut in 04:54

[ReinEngel2]

Well that's a Pedo-stache if there ever was one.

[Stevenbrownification]

I love the music they play when people come onto the stage.

[JAZZSTARish]

I thought he was going to start katas lol with his get up.

[cydonia21]

There is a good case to be made for Randi being a vampire. Clearly he does not age.

[supowit]

"gung fu, kung fu..."

Same thing, idiot.

[ilovetheninetiesssss]

busted! if they putted something for his mouth so that he could not blow ?

[fcofelixx]

what if he also moved the foam and argued that it was also moved by mental power?

[CaiominTwin]

the awkward silence is greatly improved by that good ol' buzz on the teevee box

[ReinEngel2]

@CaiominTwin Absolutely.

[maggru91]

He even looks like a child molester.

[elstormo]

Lovely tune: PWARRRRR, pwa pwa PWARRRRR, pwarawarawar!

[carlawon]

his name is hy-DrICK

[16nowhereman]

I know how this trick is done. If the styrofoam were removed, then it is doable.

[bigbird763]

FUCK THIS IDIAN FAGGOT HE CANT DO SHIT HES a fucking liar end of fucknig sstorey

[superlyger]

FYI Randi recently came out of the closet. 

[tiaxanderson]

@superlyger And? Did he finally found a silly hat?

[mrmoney282]

YeA it is

[two6nine]

Is that Bob Barker from the Price Is Right?

[DanFiebiger]

@two6nine Yep, that's our old "Price is Right" buddy! In the 50s, he used to host a goofy-comedy game show called "Truth or Consequences". In 1980-1981, he hosted this short-lived show, called THAT'S MY LINE for CBS, an early "reality" show and a variation of an older game-panel show called WHAT'S MY LINE from the 1950s. (P.S: Science fact: Styrofoam doesn't CAUSE static electricity! it only REACTS to static electricity if static electricity already PRE-EXISTS!)

[brianboru62]

@LukkaFilms Yeah its the age old problem foam static when tryin to perform some magic with the mrs

[last808]

James Hydrick's confession of fraud. unexplainable(dot)net/artman/p­ublish/article_2685.shtml

[EllyMcCormack]

loooool look at Mister Hydrick's outfit! Everyone who wears something like that should be forced to register as a sex offender, just in case!

[MrMojoRisin9383]

Let's demonstrate...

* 2seconds later*

that's one down, one to go

[MrMojoRisin9383]

Wow James Randi is doing an excellent job!

[ghostie108]

I feel sorry for the dude.

[nsofast]

@ghostie108 Dont feel sorry for him, He was lying to millions. Totally not cool.People that pretend to have actual powers are not good people.James Randi is a hero.

[AngeliaClaire]

Mo where is curly and larry?

[AngeliaClaire]

duck tail and HIDE RUN YOU FOOL OF A FRAUD!

[AngeliaClaire]

ha ha ha ha ha ha BUSTED!

[AngeliaClaire]

how the hell did I get here? Of coarse the mo is a fraud.

[325982668]

he reminds me of a friend's 26 year old brother who still lives at home

[awsumpossum1]

hahah bob barker younger XD

[hackattack99]

Great video thanks for uploading. Love Randi! Its also funny to see Bob Barker there.

[jq747]

James Hydrick is a fag. And out of respect to gay people, by that I'm using the post-modern definition of fag, meaning LAMEARSE TWAT.

[brianboru62]

@jq747 Why didnt you save us the post modern weasling to gays explanation and go for LAME ARSE TWAT in the first place without all the fag melo-lingua-drama? save words,save the english language ,save the environment,but expell the pretensious

[jq747]

@brianboru62 You're fucking kidding, right? What are you, some kind youtube comments nazi? You say "save words" with a comment twice as long as the original. But why the fuck am I even arguing with you?

[brianboru62]

@jq747 lmaaaoooo love it love it, classic you tube 'Schadenfreude' at its ironic best thanks for the impulsive bite Jezuz h Christ loooooool you a persecuted you tube complex-o-thon ?God bless you my son;)

[jq747]

@brianboru62 LOL that is pretty funny... but probably not for the reason you're thinking.

[hu0189743]

Gungfoo lmfao

[MasterLiane]

6:30 Hes like, ooh fuck!

[cremice78]

James Hydrick is now in prison for molesting children. I'm guessing he touched them with more than psychic powers.

[Lightninstrike1]

6:33 Im so fucked

[habanerat]

Look at the fraud biting his fingernails from the stress of being exposed @ 17:55

[brianboru62]

A ll that gung fu uniform and jack and the beanstalk haircut just to turn a few pages?omg i know us old n's hark back to the 70's and beyond but shit it was dreary&drabs ville with all the dour brown n beige need a life suits and the straight faced docs desperatley in need of a charisma injection

[trinketbox1]

"I am the type of person who has to work with something small, and then big, to build up my ownself." That was his quote at 16:00. Then he goes on to molest boys and goes to prison. Hmmmm . . . ..

[winner3570]

This weirdo looks like a cross between bruce lee and moe from the three stooges!!

[fcofelixx]

is it truth that this guy spent 1 hour and a half in this show traying to do this trick?

[LickMyComment]

Everyone looked so lanky and awkward and strange back then...

[azn789456]

bullshit of nature

[leezaman1]

he looks dopy,

[kris6682]

the fact that this guy had to be disproved leaves me with little hope for humanity

[outlaw87100]

14:43 "I'm fucked"

[habanerat]

@outlaw87100 You saw that look on his face too huh? :) Hahahaha

[psyadj]

from wikipedia:

[johnjoeba]

i can turn the pages of the telephone directory as well, with my hands dun dun duh :D

[dannyspangle]

Wow. I wasn't aware that 'uncle Albert' was living in America, and that he was masquerading as a famous (albeit, ridiculous name) magician. Apparently, according to Paul Zennon, nobody has retreived 'that' cheque from Buster (Uncle Albert) Merryfield.

[MarioZ91]

All that effort.. the costume, the hair, the mustache.. all for nothing! ;p

[DanioOoX]

17:39 James Randi is like "that guy must be joking."

[DanioOoX]

I guess that... *puts on sunglasses* that guy blew me away.

[morbidious]

James Hydrick.......... What an ass-clown.

[xNEXTxHEROxPLEASE]

Child molester.

[tedwilli9]

It's funny, because you know the guy is like, "Oh, Fuck." But you can totally tell that at some point he thought, "Okay, James, maybe you CAN do this!"

[MagnitudeOfSoul]

LMAO His face at 6:30 !!!

[brianboru62]

@MagnitudeOfSoul lol very 'Creepy Coupe' from the Wacky races

[MK7401]

In 1989, James Hydrick received a 17-year sentence for molesting 5 boys. He is currently incarcerated at a California prison. (Wikipedia)

[AyaWuzHere]

@MK7401

Hydrick confessed his fraud to Korem and admitted that he had developed his unique talent while he was in prison, and did not learn it from a Chinese master as he had originally claimed

Wiki's!! Cool!.

[someonezmom]

@MK7401 well it doesnt surprise me with all his practise of secret blowing techniques :o/

[digthatfunk]

LOL. What a ballsy motherfucker to just go ahead and say "Whelp, fuck it, I'm already here" and try anyway, despite CLEARLY being called out by Randi (also, to be wearing that goddamned haircut).

[ihaveanhp]

what a fool

[mazza20007]

randi hasnt aged a day

[brianboru62]

that haircut belongs to an english longbow man in the battle of agincourt

[onelittleplum]

What a nerd, LOL @ 4:02 That Bob Barker is such class tho, I miss old school hosts </3

[someonezmom]

he can move objects but he couldnt escape his Mom's bowl cut?

[brianboru62]

@someonezmom looooooooooool omg its so bad its almost trendy 

[quiteawful]

disappointed the top comment still isn't "haircut fail"

[AnimosityGMC]

Carries a blank check for $10,000 around in his jacket pocket. Smart stuff

[MrDilkington2011]

8 year-olds, Dude.

[MasterJediDude]

Hydrick looks like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. And about as talented.

[JeriDro]

@MasterJediDude lol nice he has a cool outfit tho

[onelittleplum]

@MasterJediDude haha! Totally...

[digthatfunk]

@MasterJediDude Not only does Hydrick look like Uncle Rico, the one judge that's balding with glasses kind of looks like Napoleon's brother Kip! He almost talks like him too haha

[JeriDro]

is that bob barker?

[RS1963]

@JeriDro  Yes

[AyaWuzHere]

17:56 Thumbsucking.

[andres42092]

They just destroyed that dude! hahaha

[NVOLIKOS]

We love you James Randi!!!

[xRockandMetalx]

Hydrick looks a little nervous @ 06:30. I bet he's thinking "Oh god, I am so fucked." XD

[Azrafael]

An alternative is to place an impervious mask on over his face, like those used to prevent blood spatter, but I'm not sure if that existed back then. But then again he could refute his psychic powers could not emit from that haircut of his :p

[MrUlutraman]

gadam thats one powerfull haircut

with that face and hair he reminds me of that iron man villain with the rings, mandarin or something

[GloinBane]

real or not, nothing has been proved. None of these guys wants 1000K $ O.o ?

I will get back to you when I can hurl rocks and levitate chairs with my mind.

[bonkuraysan]

the effect that he is demonstrating where the page is being "pulled down" when he lets go is something that we in the real world like to call "gravity"

[GeneralG1810]

Simple put a surgical mask on him

[RUnerdy]

Pederass

[1919dpg]

LMAO 4.07 move godammit!! lol

[Link7x4m]

Lol

[HaligonianType1]

Gong Fu.

[Smidge204]

THAT'S AMAZING! - I never thought I'd see an actual phone book again!

[Riveripple]

Just watching his stupid, forced facial expressions and hand movements make me feel embarrassed.

[gnomium41]

his hand movements are funny

[dominiccss]

This is embarrassing to watch.

[shin1300]

I guess you can say that his speciality is a "BLOW JOB"

Ba Dum Tss

[TagRation]

this guy is the best troll ever!

[pauliejay]

"The Styrofoam and the lights are pulling the page down..."

No, that's called gravity, mate.

[MalfunctionalHaywire]

Seems kind of silly to just be standing there on live television making all those ridiculous hand gestures and movements when you've essentially been proven to be a fraud. Maybe even HE began believing he had psychic powers. That's why he persisted.

This kind of thing really is piteous. But what's even more ludicrous is that some people are still so credulous to believe in this balderdash. It's things like these that make me lose faith in humanity. -_-'

[lewisner]

@MalfunctionalHaywire said "Seems kind of silly to just be standing there on live television making all those ridiculous hand gestures and movements when you've essentially been proven to be a fraud."

Hey, it worked in The Matrix.

[GhostWithSkin]

press and hold the number 8 on your keyboard to watch the host try to do the trick himself(you might have to hit pause and play again)

[GhostWithSkin]

at 14:41 you can tell he is thinking "damnit damnit damnit damnit damnit"

[antibulletdodger101]

nice haircut, mr 1980s martial arts/spirit cliché...

[alumitech007]

@antibulletdodger101 he must of been a 3 stooges fan lol

[antibulletdodger101]

this still doesn´t prove Zeus isn´t real

[ytismylife]

lol static electricity

[OyonTheAdept]

lol. James Hydrick got owned.

i kind of pity him though.

[kingmarl365]

11:48 "Shit...I'm going to have to look for a real job."

[Shaidyn]

BOB BARKER?!

[sabin97]

until today i didnt know who james randi was...

he's awesome :D

[MsPandaNut]

@sabin97 You did not know James Randy??? He is a God for us skeptics, you heretic. (no offence intended, lol.)

[sabin97]

@MsPandaNut

i tend not to pay attention to "psychics", "faith healers" and such charlatans....so i'm not very aware of all the people who expose them :P

i spend way too much time thinking of code...

[feyd8194]

In 1989, James Hydrick received a 17-year sentence for molesting 5 boys. He is currently incarcerated at a California prison

[FullofChillPills]

@feyd8194 How much is 1989 + 17 = again? Oh right… 2006.

[CatastrophicDisease]

@FullofChillPills It's true, assuming wikipidea's right. It's not uncommon for child molesters to have their sentences lengthened.

[Skogsraaet]

HOAXER

[aaron88ization]

that guy can blow lololol

[ExT1NcT]

Is it wierd that i find this video and the background noise sort of relaxing?

[KatellaZeyn]

@ExT1NcT It's probably Bob Barker's voice. :D

[880330145789]

wow this guy is good ...

[BelgianBicyclist]

Even though minutes of silence go by in this psychic demonstration, it's darn good TV. Thanks.

[papersplease]

The only intrinsic power present here is that of Randi's beard.

[Fredonia2k]

Didn't figure out the pencil one on first sight, but how the phone book trick could fool anyone is beyond me.

[JesterAzazel]

Pwned..

Even if we assume this power is real, what good is it? My own hands work better than his "psychic powers". What benefit do you get from being able to do something with your hands a couple inches away? Especially when it requires all that effort..

[PhoenixLuLuBlackCat]

The instant Hydrick said that he was trained by "an old Chinese Master" I lost whatever tiny shred of respect I had for him.

[Petrooli]

This is sad...

[SC7289]

James Hydrick, your mustache is my enemy!

[graknor]

his mustache made him molest children
