  • I still see people using that stupid pen. I try to explain that it doesn't work now and again, but it seems to be pointless.

  • yeah right I never use my pen on the good fakes. Just the bad ones. Forgers have no knowledge of this pen's ability to detect starch like chemicals. If they happen across this video, they will be able to produce "good fakes" thus making this remarkable device redundant. For the love of god take this video down or the world economy is doomed.

  • @magnusalexa ....oh man......you really believe what you are saying?

  • @magnusalexa AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

  • if you are a provable telepath, contact Randi for your million bucks.

  • Those pens give a positive result on most newspaper.

  • I only found out how those pens work about a month ago while browsing Wikipedia and was surprised at how simple they are. Especially by the fact that you can easily get a false positive by rubbing your dinner roll on the bill before testing it.

  • @magnusalexa You are not a "scientifically proven telepath". You aren't even a "friends are convinced I'm a telepath". And you don't have one iota of evidence that Randi is falsifying his claims. Instead of trying to prove yourself right, you (and people like you) are resorting to accusing the scientific method of being inherently biased against you. Science has proven plenty of utterly phenomenal things to be true, and would have no problem extolling telepathy as reality if proven.

  • I've tried to explain to my work that these are bullshit but they laugh at me, idiots

  • @magnusalexa Lol that is not what scientific means buddy, look if you really are a proven telepath you would have no trouble getting a small bit of media coverage, and scrounging up a bit of cash to travel for a little while.

  • There is a counterfeit called "raised note". Counterfeiters bleach the corners of a $5 bill and in its place write $100. In other words, a $100 with the portrait of Lincoln. Since most $100 notes are circulating overseas, many are tricked into accepting these raised notes that do not have Franklin's portrait on them. The pen could not detect this type of counterfeit.

  • For an evil prank, spray your friends' money with starch. LOL
