haha i love james randi yet i also love sylvia browne WELL more i like some of her ideas she has about god and life and here books are interesting to read BUT it is absolutely wrong of her to use her "GOD GIVEN" gift for pay she shall do all thing for free unless it is given she shouldent ask for payment nor exspect it i know i wouldent if i was a famous philosopher she should have stuck more with that part being a spiritual teacher!!!
@lordnimr0d No, he wouldn't then he would be wrong and lose his little cult. People like you love to beat a freaking dead horse trying to proclaim that you're correct and everybody has to believe as you do . . . Fuckin' loser, you and James Randi.
@PancakeSally I would be enraged as you in your shoes. No arguments at all so just attack and attack. Typical form a lesser mind. So what was it? I bet psychic
@PancakeSally You've got mental issues. Anybody subscribing to the James Randi cult, or any other for that matter, does . . . Seriously, the only lesser mind is you, moron.
It is true that Christians (Orthodox and Catholic) are aware that it's wine and bread but if you ask the Clergy they will call you blasphemous if you don't accpet that there is a mystical chemichal reaction - a magical transubstiation due to which the "holy" bread will not mould or rot and that the "holy" wine will not turn into vinegar.
He had almost all of the Communion correct except for the matter of turning the bread and water into literally flesh and blood. I am catholic, and watch James Randi "religiously" (pardon the pun, I thought it funny) and normally agree with a lot of what he says. However, I know for the most part, after sampling the Catholics near where I live, we know its not REAL flesh and blood. Its symbolic, not magical or mythical. Its a remembrance and reflection only.
Your confidence in "science" is too great. Modern "science" is more a priesthood than an impartial inquiry into logical discovery. These priests, er, scientists have boat payments to make.

@ebrobaru its because of priests and religion that the world was and still is being held back in so many different ways,priests did not invent the computer which i though would have been obvious,its mostly people that dared to think outside the groups of religious nuts and decided to actually contribute to the world in a positive and productive way that is the reason we have all this technology,the people who are pro sceptics always argue in a polite and reasonable manner,makes u think right? :)

Nobody will get this million. Randy is making a TV Show on costs of those people who are thinking that they have paranormal skills. For Randy it´s a nice income and amusement. Those people who are serious healing for exsample, they don´t hunt that million. Even if you can proof it ,that youre having paranormal skills , nobody will get this money. Maybe Randy is making a book of it. And he gets the money of it. Not bad mr.Randi. Master of desaster.
@WildeTanteAnna Randi´s tv show is more than 20 years old, so your little theory has no merit. He has a foundation that exposes the charlatans that make their income from conning gullible people like you.
@ebrobaru I ges to the gullible conning people do you belong. There are a lot of people on this planet who have these Paranormal skills, like Dshuna, she hase been testet by Russian Universitys. American Presidents visseted this woman. Everything she is doing ,works excellent! She don´t need it to go to a Mr.Randy.
Randy is testing autosuggested People!! And no professionals!! They don´t need this guy. So what!
@WildeTanteAnna Right, a lot of people have this ability, yet nobody comes forward to prove them, not only to Randi, but to anyone that has some brain to use it. What Russian Universities have tested her? Where are the results? Any papers that you can point me to?
@ebrobaru See folowing page: .damaideparte.ro/.../ 10/djuna_sanatate.There is also a book from her wherin yyou can find al the adrsses and names and tests they have made.
It´s named in German " Dshuna, die Macht meiner Hände"= Dshuna, the secret of my hands"
We have also Christos Drossinakis in Frankfurt. He is the best Tested Spritual Healer. See his Homepage,
There are a lot more. The don´t go to Randy to been proved, they heal patients ,proved by medical rapports.
@ebrobaru Those people wo can really heal people , they are proved by medical doctors. Those people are working in a small area or in small villages. They don´t have big homepages oder they are telling how good they are. Insider know where to find them. And they work without to ask money from those people.
Some are working by a gift for Children cancer foundation or something else like that. From 1000 healers is only one ,who can do it. The rest is autogsuggestiv, buying a book, and can do it
@WildeTanteAnna You say real healers are "proved" by medical doctors... They are no authority on science. I'm sure you've heard of the placebo effect. As for so called cancers that have been cured, we would need to see scientific evidence. If real healers are known only by doctors / insiders, why don't THEY tell the world. Why not share these people's gifts with the world, cure our diseases. The answer is because there aren't any healers. What authority says your suggested site isn't fake?
@ffgew22 I wrote in a lower part here, a few named healers who are proved. Please Google a bit. The IVH in Germany is prooving this healers. See the video of Mr.Dr.Wiesendanger and visit the Homepage of the IVH. Placebo effect is by those people who are going to Randy. If a healer is healing with his hands and tell the world that it works. There will come so many people ,that he can´t handle it. What would you do if the world knows you can heal everything. Youre happy about that?
@ffgew22 There is a video in you tube, watch it. It´is a sciencemovie about healing and miracles.
The movie is named "Grenzen der Medizin" see all the parts of it. Buy the book "Dshuna, die Macht meiner Hände" ISBN3-9054414-46-5. All the done tests are written in this book.
Write also to mr.Dr.Wiesendanger and ask him. They are healing without asking money for it ,they live in small villages. The don´t like Propaganda.
One healer can´t heal all the sick people on this world. No way!!
Important is the medical results by the diagnostic before visiting a healer and after visiting a healer.
If the Medical doctorreport says"We can´t do anything anymore for you, you have to live 3 Months. And after visiting the healer ,the cancer is gone and he or she is living a normal livetime. Those people who are going to Randy, they wil get this million. They are idiots. Buying a book , and then they´re thinking they are magic figurs. The blame to these
@WildeTanteAnna I agree with you. Randi is not important. What is important is the result. In that scenario you describe, of course health is more important. Yes, it would have to be documented to be accepted as true. Still, you are missing the point. The point is that there are a bunch of charlatans out there that only take advantage of gullible people. Randi helps debunk them
Nobody will get this million. Randy is making a TV Show on costs of those people who are thinking that they have paranormal skills. For Randy it´s a nice income and amusement. Those people who are serious healing for exsample, they don´t hunt that million. Even if you can proof it ,that youre having paranormal skills , nobody will get this money. Maybe Randy is making a book of it.
Get the hell out from Norway! You are not welcome here after telling media people are stupid! You are a sjarlatan and a hater, really rude and selfrighteous. STFU!
I agree..there is a lack of proof.. in which case, this extraordinary claim was not supported by extraordinary evidence. Mr. Randi is applying scientific methodology. The best tool for determining facts...the result...its not a fact. To speculate as to whether its false or some self-induced sabotage took place to deceive observation is up to you.
Referring to comment below; This is absolutely spam. These con-artists just won't stop! It's fine if you call it a magic trick but if you actually present it as fact you are as big a scumbag as john edward and all the other bullshit pushers out there. If you can really do it, go get your million dollars. Didn't think so.
I have recently had experience with what may be zero point energy. My latest psychokinesis video demonstrates me causing unexplainable movements to 2 ping pong balls.
Please view the video on my channel. THIS IS NOT SPAM, this is for real, and I would encourage any scientists out there to view my video too.
I know I am tapping an unseen energy source with my mind, and with time & practice, I should develop to more advanced levels, including levitation of objects.
@TheOptimistPrime John Hinkley was inspired by a Jodie Foster movie... Your inability to identify distinctions between physical truths and perceptive truths has lead you to a warped view. You're either making a logical statement (which I doubt) or a statement loaded with bias. Are you saying we know our ancestors were wrong and so we can assume we are making similar errors? Or an assumption that some supernatural things are real since there's things we do not know? The second is wrong.
@TheOptimistPrime Basing a huge life decision on a movie by Jodie Foster? Deep. Someone else tried that. His name is John Hinckley jr, I can't quite remember how that turned out for him.
@TheOptimistPrime I haven't seen the movie but you have got my interest in it. I see it is that us as human beings have the creative/imaginative capacity that goes beyond cold logic and reason which in itself has it's flaws just as logic and reason do. There is still that part of ourselves that loves mystism and things beyond our comprehension but then there is that part of us that is tied to universal laws there things that in essence can't be broken and concepts universally accepted as truth
@TheOptimistPrime The fact is that your being a little too gullible to feed the expert conartist that is the psychic your allowing yourself to believe them because of the 1-1000 chance they would just happen to know or guess at least 1 thing about you, you don't seem to grasp that logic and reason help someone ie such as commonsense is the most basic and simplistic yet the most effective form. The real logical thinker would say this person will tell me what I want to hear to keep gaining money
Randi just stops people who claim they have psychic abilities. Some of those people make money from it. Why do so many people hate him? I think loads of people post idiotic comments on youtube about him and they don't even know who he is or what he has done.
What? Maybe he has genuine power he doesn't want anyone to know about? Hahah! If you're going to create bizarre scenarios like that, you may as well say that nothing can be proven because we might be living in The Matrix, and nothing is real.
Negatives can be proven. There are no wood burning stoves in my home. That is a negative, and I can prove it.
I'm disappointed that Duke and Stanford are no longer researching parapsychology. I've seen the movie Ghostbusters many times, and I know that it takes members of the parapsychology department to win the battle against the Stay-Puft marshmallow man.
Randi insulted me by this video. I did see him putting the tissue down with his hand. He says, only a child would have seen that. I'm 20 and will be a second year Economics and Finance student at a university. FML.
Wow christians are cannibals who eat their own God... maybe they think they can become God by doing so... sounds like paganism...regardless it's a gross concept!
@TheOptimistPrime The art of illusion should not be applauded but for the acceptance that it is an illusion. Or do you think that being fooled and having 'experiences' of things that you have created in your head is 'what life is about'. Here is another illusion, one which causes problems everyday: White people are better then black people. When arrogant people are correcting facts, I think it's because they know how dangerous they can be. But I agree, in many circumstances there is no need.
Randi is an idiot that would still have us believe the world is flat if he had his way. If you want to learn something explore and experiment on your own and look for the truth. That's how discoveries are made. Predetermining the outcome you want to believe then finding ways to fake illusions proves nothing about the truth.
@ExplorerExperience You don´t have to experiment for yourself everything in order to see if it´s truth or not. That´s why we have common knowledge known as science. Hence, you are the idiot
James Randi has written 11 books, appeared on a few hundred tv shows, and produced countless videos and text messages. You want him to open his mind a little. What do you want him to say that he hasn't?
I've never met anyone who can do what you've described, I suspect Randi hasn't either. But if someone can perform that twice for the JREF, they'll win a million dollars.
Perhaps this is what you want to see: watch?v=LSOD77clNZM
He should definitely get a role in the hopefully upcoming "Hobbit" movie. I mean ... imagine him as the dwarven king Durin accusing Gandalf of fraud or something.
The tissue never wet into the other hand, and when the hand that was supposed to transfer the tissue goes off-screen he simply drops it onto his lap/table or whatever is offscreen.
I must say that he makes one very serious error, especially considering his previous video about the degradation of language.
He uses the terms "logic" and "assumption" in the same sentence, as though they went together.
Logic is an exceptionally valuable tool, and it only grows in value the longer you use it. It is the replacement of logic with expected assumptions that is the source of the error, and it's precisely what would happen to a PhD, who has spent years studying.
I am a Christian who was raised baptist. For our communian we use foam like waffers and welch's grape juice! We don't believe it's really Christ's blood, but it's a tasty rememberance, especially the juice.
I don't know about Catholics, because I was brought up in a Baptist church, and In that church we that believed that the wine was wine and the bread was bread and the water was water, it only had a meaning put on it by our act of remembering the "Christ" who died for us. Like the act of a father drinking a beer with his son once he's a certain age, beer is beer and will always be beer but the meaning behind it has changed. That being said, I'm an atheist.
@thestrange1987 I'm an atheist, raised in the Baptist church, and the wine (Welch's grape juice) and wafer, represented the blood and body because of what he said at the Last Supper. Quoting from Jesus Christ Superstar: "For all you care, this wine could be my blood, for all you care, this bread could be my body, this is my blood you drink, this is my body you eat, if you would remember me, when you eat and drink." YAY!
@JorgensZelda he he he! Ours was really wine though and only those who confessed to be believers were able to drink of it, I wasn't one of them. Dad was at the time though and after he drink it I'd steal the class from him and lick it clean. lol!
I love what he's saying here, and he makes the same assertion in his book, *Flim-Flam* (GO THOU AND FIND A COPY, SAYETH THE LORD YOUR GOD), that scientists, those hardheaded bastions of rationality, are oftentimes the easiest people to fool. Why? Because *they believe they can't be fooled!* A little irony is good for your blood, it seems.
On other siteweb I don't find any consisting file, with chapters, etc, about famous cases like Kulagina or Jean-Pierre Girard.
No file on psychokinesis. Some stuffs about health, acupuncture, homeopathy, etc. And the design of many of these sites makes my eyes bleed. Is that HTML 1.0?
I've spoken with a Psychologist named Dr. Mullen who claims that in the state of Florida there are over 5000 cases documented of Real Lycanthropy.This man is actually a Psychologist?He is located in Jacksonville Florida.
@tttapmmman, I didn't know you need qualifications to know what's true from what's false. Would seem more like common sense to me. I've met penalty of idiots with PhDs. Most of them are very specialized in their fields but often lack basic knowledge in others.
No Results? Are you serious? Obviously you don´t have any idea of his success. But then again, why would you. You just like to attack with no arguments at all. You are pathetic
Randi has tested a bunch of psychics. He's even caught a number of them trying to use tricks. All of them agreed to the testing procedure beforehand. I understand what it means to say a psychic is a fraud, but how is a guy who tests psychics a fraud? Do you think that his tests are rigged, or that he hasn't really caught anyone using trickery?
Perhaps you just don't like people who shatter your belief in super powers.
"Perhaps you just don't like people who shatter your belief in super powers"
...That's exactly it. Are you familiar with the YT woo-aficianado called Bandershot? He is a homeopath and into every conspiracy theory ever. He's also a huge Uri Gellar fan. He makes all sorts of videos acusing Randi of all sorts of fraud. Cdk007 recently made a hilarious video with clips of Bandershot trying to explain how homeopathy works with sciency words. It's hilarious.
You could be right. A lot of people don't like James Randi, and they call him all sorts of names, but when it comes time to explain why they're calling him those names, they usually don't make any sense. I'd love to hear why AnonymousElektron thinks Randi is a liar and a fraud, but his English quit working just when he started explaining it. Go figure.
You seem to have a hard time understanding what you read... or maybe you just comment without really reading. I'm actually pretty skeptical, and no, I don't think Uri Geller's (not yuri gellar) powers are real. For what it's worth though, he has never been "proven" to be a fake.
so you hate randi because he questions your belief in your religion, when people cant make a rational logical argument for their faith, they get emotional and abusive.you see that all the time.i debate religious people sometimes and when i show them the LOGICAL RATIONAL flaws in their belief they ALWAYS verbally abuse me. People who believe in a god use the straw man argument.
He took the "usual way"? What other former magicians you know that do this? Randi has never claimed that he has any scientific credentials. He doesn´t conduct the tests himself. A panel of experts are always the one that does.
Michael Shermer is very closely associated with Randi and the Foundation.
If you don´t like him that´s your choice of course. But don´t come here and spread false information.
Randi fails to mention a third kind of person in the field of parapsychology: People who investigate it with a sincere interest to find if it is real but not being fooled by the tricks, which is exactly what he does.
I'm not sure Randi is right about many parapsychologists being PhDs - I think they rather tend to come from the natural sciences. And that tallies better with what Randi says next about the behaviour of electrons etc. In fact many PhDs are working in fields where they are constantly confronted with lies or faked evidence, in history or sociology for example.
That´s not the way it works. I bet that you don´t go through the proper protocols. It´s very uncommon that Randi himself would engage in an argument wit ha would be claimant, so it really sounds that you are just making this up.
because you probably dont agree to the rules. It's going to be like a scientific experiment, where u have no control over the environment and no pre-thought out props.
well it depends what it is that you are doing. If it's somehting that they CANT detect, then there's no way it can work. If it's something u can bullshit, then no wonder he didnt let u.
It is difficult to show that parapsychology is a science -- what with no results and scores of experiments turning up Nil-- not to mention its widespread rejection by natural scientists. What is more, all articles in this wanna-be sub-branch of Psychology are in trashy journals. Mainstream science just will not publish their findings...and rightly so I say! :)

He never recognizes the phenomenon. Who to it wouldn't arrive.
He doesn't want to leave fund. With money of investors. For Randi dividends, instead of true are important. The real psychic to it won't go.

Nobody will get this million. Randy is making a TV Show on costs of those people who are thinking that they have paranormal skills. For Randy it´s a nice income and amusement. Those people who are serious healing for exsample, they don´t hunt that million. Even if you can proof it ,that youre having paranormal skills , nobody will get this money. Maybe Randy is making a book of it. And he gets the money of it. Not bad mr.Randi. Master of desaster.

@ebrobaru I ges to the gullible conning people do you belong. There are a lot of people on this planet who have these Paranormal skills, like Dshuna, she hase been testet by Russian Universitys. American Presidents visseted this woman. Everything she is doing ,works excellent! She don´t need it to go to a Mr.Randy.
Randy is testing autosuggested People!! And no professionals!! They don´t need this guy. So what!

@WildeTanteAnna Right, a lot of people have this ability, yet nobody comes forward to prove them, not only to Randi, but to anyone that has some brain to use it. What Russian Universities have tested her? Where are the results? Any papers that you can point me to?

We have also Christos Drossinakis in Frankfurt. He is the best Tested Spritual Healer. See his Homepage,
There are a lot more. The don´t go to Randy to been proved, they heal patients ,proved by medical rapports.

@ebrobaru Those people wo can really heal people , they are proved by medical doctors. Those people are working in a small area or in small villages. They don´t have big homepages oder they are telling how good they are. Insider know where to find them. And they work without to ask money from those people.
Some are working by a gift for Children cancer foundation or something else like that. From 1000 healers is only one ,who can do it. The rest is autogsuggestiv, buying a book, and can do it

@WildeTanteAnna You say real healers are "proved" by medical doctors... They are no authority on science. I'm sure you've heard of the placebo effect. As for so called cancers that have been cured, we would need to see scientific evidence. If real healers are known only by doctors / insiders, why don't THEY tell the world. Why not share these people's gifts with the world, cure our diseases. The answer is because there aren't any healers. What authority says your suggested site isn't fake?

If a healer is healing with his hands and tell the world that it works. There will come so many people ,that he can´t handle it. What would you do if the world knows you can heal everything.

@ebrobaru Mr.Randi is not important.
Important is the medical results by the diagnostic before visiting a healer and after visiting a healer.
If the Medical doctorreport says"We can´t do anything anymore for you, you have to live 3 Months. And after visiting the healer ,the cancer is gone and he or she is living a normal livetime. Those people who are going to Randy, they wil get this million. They are idiots. Buying a book , and then they´re thinking they are magic figurs. The blame to these

@WildeTanteAnna I agree with you. Randi is not important. What is important is the result. In that scenario you describe, of course health is more important. Yes, it would have to be documented to be accepted as true. Still, you are missing the point. The point is that there are a bunch of charlatans out there that only take advantage of gullible people.

@TheOptimistPrime John Hinkley was inspired by a Jodie Foster movie... Your inability to identify distinctions between physical truths and perceptive truths has lead you to a warped view. You're either making a logical statement (which I doubt) or a statement loaded with bias. Are you saying we know our ancestors were wrong and so we can assume we are making similar errors? Or an assumption that some supernatural things are real since there's things we do not know? The second is wrong.

I must say that he makes one very serious error, especially considering his previous video about the degradation of language.
He uses the terms "logic" and "assumption" in the same sentence, as though they went together.
Logic is an exceptionally valuable tool, and it only grows in value the longer you use it. It is the replacement of logic with expected assumptions that is the source of the error, and it's precisely what would happen to a PhD, who has spent years studying.

I'm not sure Randi is right about many parapsychologists being PhDs - I think they rather tend to come from the natural sciences. And that tallies better with what Randi says next about the behaviour of electrons etc. In fact many PhDs are working in fields where they are constantly confronted with lies or faked evidence, in history or sociology for example.
