James Randi - Psychic Investigator - Part 11 of 15

[searchaltoken]

Only the four heroes can wield the crystal power

[BASimmons17]

is this a power balance commercial? haha

[TraceurMeeka]

Watching these people lie to themselves actually makes me fucking angry, its an insult to other humans to have to put up with such bullshit, they're old people and they lived their lives believing NONSENSE, I can't feel sorry for them, because of how STUPID they themselves make themselves look.

[TraceurMeeka]

God, someone show them to the kitchen...

[TraceurMeeka]

God, someone show them to the kitchen...

[iqwaxzi]

Get your RAT out, Fiona!

[spyu]

Reminds me of the time machine from Napoleon Dynamite. Wait I gotta put the crystals in.

[ColloseusXReturns]

@spyu oh god it stings!!!

[jbdtaylor]

I love the fact that the woman is holding the crystal while doing the terrible "control" experiment. If her beliefs are true she's invalidating the control by being stronger because she's holding a crystal which makes her stronger! Surely a person with a knowledge as great as hers about the secret powers of crystals would have realised this? Guess not. Not as bright as we thought (which wasn't much to begin with to be honest)!

[Jeycihn]

close your eyes and listen to the first 40 seconds lol....I know, dirty mind, blah blah hehe

[zurikaten]

@Jeycihn hahaha good one!

[chug20]

Lol rat poison! She just got f'd in the a!

[jStevieO]

the device at 7.09... looks deceptively like an E-Meter [a la $cientology ] per LRH...a pseudo lie detector or better even a truth detector ...in any case its a major component of scientologys auditing process ...[confession / interogation device ] ....used to fleece the initiate of most of their ca$h to resolve the problems in their life per LRHubbards "tech "...what happens after they take you of all your well earned money ...they can also solve for you ...for more money !! =debt !$cientology!

[mornmeril]

I just LOVE the frightened look at the psycho-woman's face when Randi tells her what the test will be!

[tkoizumi]

The look in their faces 3:37 fucking priceless... That look alone you know they're BSing from the beginning.

[phaloxxx]

@tkoizumi lmao fucking priceless is the ONLY word for this, wow, so amazingly awesome omg ....hahaha "im telling you this is totally spontaneous" , lmao i like the grin then the grimace then the look of ..(ok i have to try and bs through this)

[ShrodingerFu]

@phaloxxx A more experienced "psychic" would have claimed the bags might interfere with the crystal energies before going through each of them and not getting any significant reading, reiterate that the cloth hindered the experiment and play the role of the victim. Amateurs...

[meslud]

there is one thing in particular that I won't ever be able to believe: do those adult people really do such stupid things like standing around a table and move it in circles while contemplating seriously that it is levitating or that they caused it to levitate? really? are those real people?

[phaloxxx]

@meslud lmao fuck that, i wanna know if the people saw it and thought...wow we really look like jackasses

[icl4ntic]

lmao @ crystal lady. Look how stressed she is! XD

[dattelpalme83]

Ron? Lie Detector? Thoughts? I'm starting to feel frightened!

[PerleDeGris]

@dattelpalme83 scary indeed. undoubtedly he will have to face serious copyright litigation campaigns though

[khdou]

lol i like the facial expressions from the healer during the test. She's like, oh shit, this is not gonna work

[KaslarProductions]

It's just an oscillator and resistance indictor

[msinummoc]

Frikkin bunch of jackasses, levitating a table. Goddamn, how can you be so frikkin stupid?!

[msqrt]

"it's HEALING thoughts" "Ah, I see, all right, I stand corrected."

I admire his ability to remain serious and polite in these situations :)

[SoundtrackSelections]

The excuses these guys cook up when they're caught with their pants down makes me laugh.

"Crystals can heal you of cancer, have extraordinary energies and taps into your body's natural power source to elevate you to planes of spirtitual existance beyond imagination...but whatever you do, don't put it in a tiny cloth bag! Otherwise it doesn't work!" Bunch of silly billies.

[FailingTube]

Is there anyone else out there that feels the slightest of anger after watching these vids? They are useless, talentless failures of life. They are the worst form of liars. I have them more than murderers and paedophiles. In my honest opinion, people who claim any form of supernatural hokus pokus bullshit without any solid proof should be executed. Not locked away in a prison, EXECUTED! They are the worst virus on the planet, a virus that spreads amongst the ignorant and stupid.

[LibertyJusticeTruth]

@FailingTube Seriously? You think con artists are worse than pedophiles? What about the morons who pay these talentless failures? Are they blameless?

[RawwestHide]

@LibertyJusticeTruth Blame the girl for being raped.

They're not morons, scientists have believed in shit like this. They are just uninformed and somewhat stubborn, they have been tricked.. They need to be helped and these frauds exposed. These are just people who are wrong, people spreading misinformation need to be stopped.  If you don't know how the trick is being done or how breakable spoons are, the thought of breaking one is otherworldly, but they are not morons. Just wrong.

[LibertyJusticeTruth]

@RawwestHide This is hardly the same as blaming a girl for being abused. We're talking about experienced adults foregoing common sense, not a naive child being coerced by a sick pedophile. If people pay psychics to lie to them it IS at least partially their own fault. These frauds have been exposed, over and over again; yet people continue to put faith in them. It's idiotic.

[ViralMessiah]

@RawwestHide a scientist believing this sort of shit is nothing like blaming a raped woman,it's more like blaming a person who bought crack,and finds out it's soap. scientists aren't supposed to "believe" anything,some do anyway,but only if they fail to follow scientific reasoning,or are just plain fooled,either way the scientist shoulders some of the blame.

[morro765060]

i feel kind of weird sain this but.. the old lady is kind of cute.... wtf!! no more drugsss!!

[nthomas87]

people have been able to transfer thoughts for ages. its called speech!

[Mattysmyth0593]

The correct answer to his statement at 1:00 is to google it.

[LifeInBrunswick]

For the first 45 seconds, close your eyes and turn your dirty mind on :P .

[TheAUKid]

@LifeInBrunswick LMAO That was awesome.

[Baldnesz]

And a lot of women believe men trick them into bed....lol..got little choice when they are this barking ...

[alexboii]

lol i love this dude fucking owns everyone who thinks they can get away with it

[JokersSerious]

i love how both those bitches were all laughing nervously and shit... they knew as soon as he started the test that they were totally caught

[sabdow]

Are you fucking serious? This girl clenches her left hand, sends a rush of blood around her body by "tensing up" and then she now has magical strength in her other arm? WOW. FUCK OFF.

[iSOBigD]

Placebo effect at its best. At the start of the crystal test, the woman also wasn't trying to flex her arm much, and the scam artist wasn't pushing very hard, lol. What a joke.

[melder2011]

@iSOBigD Haha yeah, I'm sure thats why it works so many other times. She just says, "hold out your arm, I'm testing it." then "Look at how much resistance there is after I clarify the point of the game." The crystal is just for show. She could say it works with her mind, some cheese, rat poison, or anything else.

[Vamavid]

The crystal lady must have been banging in her youth.

[Frequent2001]

haha 8:24 i bet thats an e-meter, its used to measure the electrical resistance of the body and it has been proven to be totally useless, the scientologists use it to interrogate and brainwash people

[paulbottomley42]

@Frequent2001

Oh, don't be like that. The e-meter isn't *totally* useless.

Provided the use to which you want to put it is measuring skin salinity, or sweatiness. As for measuring the amount of dead aliens clinging to one, though...

[bavwill]

Pair of gowls with the crystals.

[tehbeast666]

Troll food was in the 3rd bag.

[ikvsabre]

In the first test, she pushes near the woman's wrist. In the 2nd test, she pushes near the elbow.

Anyone that knows anything about levels and fulcrums will know what I'm getting at.

[salamirterra]

Up yours

[ikvsabre]

What an intellectual response.....

[salamirterra]

Up yours

[ikvsabre]

What a scintillating vocabulary

Usually, one must go to a bowling alley to meet someone of your stature.

Where do you have your mullet done?

[salamirterra]

Up yous

[ikvsabre]

Hmmm, I'm starting to think that you must be a robot, since you only appear to be capable of saying one thing.

Odd programming for a robot; you must have been built by creationists. Their thoughts are fairly limited......

[salamirterra]

STOP GETTING TROLLED RETARD

[ikvsabre]

Wow, you MUST have been built by creationists, robot.

Only someone that dumb would design a robot to troll, and then have the robot get mad at the target he was trolling for being trolled.

Strange programming, robot......

[salamirterra]

Up yours

[ikvsabre]

Ah, there's the mindless robot I've come to expect. That train is never late.

I'm glad the malfunction was corrected, nad it's gone bak to its program, however peculiar.

[salamirterra]

Up yours

[ikvsabre]

The trollbot 2000.

Not very effective, but very reliable.

Very limited, but great for the troll on a budget.

[salamirterra]

Up yours

[ikvsabre]

Trollbot 2010, always with the witty reparte.

[salamirterra]

Up yours

[ikvsabre]

Trollbot 2010

Which particular part of me is it to go up?

[salamirterra]

Up yours

[ikvsabre]

Trollbot 2010 comes with a long lasting battery, enabling it to complete it's small, simple program for hours and hours.

[salamirterra]

Up yours

[ikvsabre]

I still don't know what part of me it is to go up.

Trollbot 2010 is badly in need of a programming update.

[salamirterra]

Your vagina

[ikvsabre]

Nope, don't have one of those. My wife does, but I'm already taking care of that.

Time for Trollbot 2010 to go into the shop for a tuneup.

[salamirterra]

You don't have a wife

[ikvsabre]

Trollbot 2010 IS interactive. Barely, fairly limited, but apparently can respond (eventually) to outside stimulus.

Not a very effective unit, but fine for the low budget troll on the go.

[salamirterra]

Up yours

[ikvsabre]

I had high hopes for the trollbot 2010, but is seems to have lapse back to its very limited initial program.

On the other hand, it does seem fairly reliable. One need only poke it's buttons, and it regurgitates is limited speech programming.

[salamirterra]

I'm smarter than you

[ikvsabre]

Wonderful!

New programming from trollbot 2010!

Apparently, it's running the "delusions of granduer" module. That's good. It helps the trollbot overcome its apparent design inadequacies. This should improve sales dramatically, as the market for a driod with limited abilities, however reliable, would be fairly limited as well.

[salamirterra]

I am much smarter than you

[ikvsabre]

Trollbot 2010 is adapting. Sales will go up for sure!

[salamirterra]

You are going to hell

[ikvsabre]

Trollbot 2010 continues to expand it's database of statements. It's almost impressive, given its limited capabilities.

We will continue to activate the unit to see what else it will say.

[salamirterra]

homo

[ikvsabre]

The trollbot 2010 appears to be broken. The last message appears to be incomeplete. We hope there aren't too many maintenance issue with thsi model, or sales will suffer

[salamirterra]

You're a homo

[ikvsabre]

The unit appears to be working better now.

Still, the service centers better gear up with spare parts just in case.

We will continue to report on every message received by the unit until it stops functioning.

[salamirterra]

You're a homo

[ikvsabre]

The trollbot 2010 seems to be caught in a loop again.

I wonder if the unit will continue to repeat the same things over and over again. It seems in bad need of repair.

[salamirterra]

YES I WILL RETARD BECAUSE EVERY TIME I TYPE LESS THAN YOU I WIN.

Fag

[ikvsabre]

The trollbot 2010 seems to be malfunctioning. It appears dangerous and hostile. It's definitely defective. That will harm sales for sure.

It seems to think that small, simplistic messages give it an advantage in some sort of contest. One wonders why it would one the one hand think it was "winning", and on the other hand be so beligerant.

Surely, trollbot needs a complete overhaul, as it fails in its design purpose of annoying others. It is, however quite entertaining.

[ikvsabre]

Trollbot 2010's speech centers seem to be malfunctioning. I'm calling a repair main

[ikvsabre]

It appears the Trollbot 2010 will have to be recalled.  They are obviuosly inadequate and inferior units.

[ikvsabre]

Trollbot is caught in a loop again. What a sad failure. We had such hope for the line, but it will have to be taken out of service.

[SizZ1eR]

@ikvsabre Yep i noticed that as well, actually u cant prove anything by having a person pushing down on someones hand or arm.

If anything u shd use something to measure how much pressure u put on before the person cant press against it anymore.

Next u would have to let the person restitute between attempts as she will become a little more exhausted for each attempt.

Bottom line is, this test only prove itself useless. :-(

[FFFUUUUUUUU]

rat poison.

oh you and your shenanigans

[Martial024]

Its rat poison. giggle giggle.

I hope she doesnt go around telling people what is and isnt good for them after that.

[Higgs666]

yes Gale, hold it by the tip, while i strike it very gently

[Nolebrab]

hey I hope scientologists are watching this, recognise that machine 8:10 do ya freaks?

[Nolebrab]

If Uri Gellar was a spoon would he be bent?

[charil619]

derren brown proved table tipping is a load of bollox

[charil619]

rat poison is good for ya  rememba that

[awesomeubermensch]

if you want to know how randi did that spoon thing, he says in another video that you bend the spoon A LOT and then when you want to use it it should just start to bend and then break [because you've ruined it's structural integrity].

[PraiseShemp]

Is that a VOLTMETER? An old voltmeter? It's a feckin' VOLTMETER, isn't it?

[banzai421]

Crystals???? pure Bullshit

[mbarkhau]

3:00 "Feels hard"

That's what she said XD

[TheFriendlyFriends]

@mbarkhau hahaha

[Krystifur]

You, sir, have just won the Internets. Congratulations.

[zackhanscom]

lmao his name is norman knight.

[zackhanscom]

i love the fact that he doesn't explain how things are done, even when he says it's just trickery. gets the people used to thinking about something rather than accepting it on face value.

[Sutskoen]

Randi is awesauce like that, teaching people to think

[dunbar9finger]

"Rat poison must be good for Fiona"...

How dumb does she think people are?

[worldsworstjukebox]

2:47 Catfight! Catfight!

[Kousaburo]

James is a superb presenter, dignified and clean cut, straight to the point, no nonsense person.

[dunbar9finger]

I just got done laughing...when the video first started I had the screen scrolled down so I didn't see the video - I only heard the audio.

Listen to what it sounds like at the start of the clip if you don't look at what he's doing and didn't know it was about spoon bending. Just close your eyes and listen.

[NoWitnessesNoRegrets]

laughed my ass off

[DARRBEV]

at least he's got "the machine that goes Ping"

[Sutskoen]

around 3:10.... I'm just thinking "fraud"... she simply stops pushing...

but the double-blind test is nice to prove it

[Dudet704]

EPIC FAIL!!

[stottie301]

Hello, Welcome proffesor Nig Nog, today you claim that you can make all items dissapear from my wallet. You can only use your typical tools of choice. your baseball bat.

[AR333]

wow stupid bitch

[RobbieTyler1]

lol!!!

what a load of shite all this psychic crap is!!

[yko487]

"All I can say is that rat poison must be good for Fiona". Yikes, it's a shame she does something for a living where other people's well being could be at stake.

[mozartgenetics]

Hello, my name is James Randi and our first guest today is Dr. Flem and his assistant Flam. Please welcome Flim and Flam to the stage while they demonstrate yet another several minutes of tom foolery and mindless git.

[kirby4blues]

Excuses, excuses from a fraud. "I think that it worked earlier because the crystal was naked." I think? If you've had so much experience with crystals then you should KNOW, not THINK.

[LovelyYTRocks]

Actually, the crystal's Chi was shrouded by idiotcy.

[grimeldasnodpocket]

If I was Randi I would have had someone else opening the bags and handling the crystals. I'm surprised nobody so far has accused him of pocketing something to make them look bad. As a magician, it would be easy enough for him to do.

[chadp2004]

well in fairness it was a proper double blind test. he didn't know which bag the crystal was in and neither did the two ladies. having someone else take out the crystals wouldn't have made a difference. i take your point about him pocketing the crystal but i doubt he would go to those lengths to cheat when the whole point of his show was to expose people who deceive the vulnerable.

[edinburghskeptics]

Hmm, I have to say I agree with grimeldasnodpocket on this. There are several tests done that are a little iffy. Most of the dowsing ones where very bad and even as a skeptic and wholehearted supporter of Randi, I worry that a few of the demonstrations have demonstrated little.

[mrnivri]

ha, ha, the looks on their faces.

[DEANOTECHNO]

you silly cow why try and fool randi you will only fool youself in effect.
