  • Thumbs up if after watching this you plan to buy a matchbox and fool your friends.

  • @SYCHIC1

    I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT.

  • @SYCHIC1 Right. Maybe a visit to a psychyatrists would be in order

  • @SYCHIC1 - learn to use lower case and people will listen.

    Predict the date and location of the next plane crash and the exact number of people on board who survive. Or shut the hell up.

  • @SpiritualMediumSarah - you are missing the point. "I can fake that I can paint-doesn't make artists fiction" One lousy analogy. No one is saying psychics (etc) are fiction. The claimed abilities appear to be as no one has ever demonstrated them under controlled conditions.

    People attack Randi as being merely a magician. So what? It boils down to the fact it is hard to fool him, whereas folks who claim special abilities can easily fool Joe Public.

    Less of the Randi attacks & more facts.

  • @SYCHIC1 You're correct. James Randi is not a scientist, he is an illusionist-He is not intending to part with his money. He intends to make money from the publicity.There are many scientists and researchers interested in the paranormal and they are conducting real studies with interesting evidence. James' contract is not well done and all he proves is that he is both judge and jury and that people can fake anything-but I can fake that I can paint-doesn't make artists fiction.

  • ME TO OF ASK TO DO THE TEST { IM A PSYCHIC/MEDIUM} BUT IM NOT FAMOUS ENOUGH TO MAKE LOOK LIKE A COCK ON TV, THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT SOMEONE FAMOUS NOT UNKNOWN LIKE ME SAD BUT TRUE, AND BEFORE YOU SAY FULL OUT THE FORM AND LL THAT STUFF. I HAVE IVE EVEN RUNG JAMES HIM SELF AND THE FOUNDATION AND NO ONE WANTS TO GET BACK TO ME. I WONDER WHY. ANYWAY IM ALWAYS HERE TO HELP
