UMBC In the Loop: Stephen Braude

[alejandrabasinger]

cool clip thanks for sharing ..

[freshhawk]

Umm, so where's the video of the gold actually appearing? If there are so many "first hand testimonies".

What a bunch of BS, a completely simple conjuring trick.

@freshhawk I don't have firm convictions on the woman in question, but she's been examined by magicians and Braude himself before and after these alleged appearances. But maybe she's a fraud. Have you read the book?

[OccasionallyBearded]

@freshhawk Have you spent any time investigating the woman? Had you even read Braude's book when you posted that comment?

[bloodnchocolate]

@freshhawk You're an ass.

[Karlpetry]

Stephen Braude is tops in his field. His books are great and the only thing better than his books, is to see and hear him in person.

[rrfilmproduction]

lol, this guy is awesome.

[jonlcfc1]

The presenter sounds like he has a mouse shoved up his arse, he's so twitchy and nervous.

[xeasternxz]

Fascinating and intelligent man, also a courageous one, as his experience of those of his colleagues who will not extend their thinking to encompass alternative possibilities for these curious phenomenon.

[BorgHub]

I think this "doctor" should have a chat with James Randi

[MetaphysicsAddict]

@BorgHub I would love to see Braude VS Randi. Braude is very informed on what skeptics say. He discusses skeptical objections in his books, and he has engaged in debates.

[findelkind666]

bullshit

[ginaruk]

isaone's comment is clearly ignorant. Braude does explain the phenomenon, and the case has been checked out and endorsed by a well-known magician. Try reading the book instead of shooting blindly from the hip.

[isaone]

This guy is no skeptic. He has fallen for the "if I Cannot Explain It It Must Be Magic" fallacy. Just because he cannot explain the photographs of foil that means little. Call me back after Joe Nichols has signed off, Penn and Teller have done an examinations or after Katie has collect the James Randi Foundation's $1,000,000 .

Until then it is obvious this is is just more of the same scams that have been floating around for hundreds of years.

This may be what the Mayan Indians were into.
