James Randi and Doris Collins "Cold Reader"

Doris Collins was the British John Edwards of the 80's. In this edition of "The World Around Us" we get a bit of insight as to what "Cold Reading" is. Doris is good, but listen to the explanation by Randi for insight into how it's done. Let's grow out of our irrationalities, people.

I find the 'Randi is jealous' argument baffling.He is easily as famous,if not more so,than the majority of these 2 bit conjurers.First,he was an accomplished escape artist.Now,he's a published author, folks pay him to do primetime tv,& he's in high demand as a public speaker.Isn't it just possible he feels moral outrage at folks who use false belief & chicanery to make money? I know I do.And if u have to mention his sexuality to deride him,your argument is invalid.Lonely? He drowns in friends.

i dont know whether to "like" this video for james randi or "dislike" it because of that stupid old bitch?

I love how she paints herself as "working for god". Beyond the obvious, it's amazing the level of manipulation of the audience that this statement represents. You're aren't being a skeptic, you're a heretic!! Or so she'd have us believe.

The double irony is that in Abrahamic religionists would stone soothsayers back in the day...

Wow, that "he does something with his hands" line may be the most vague hook attempt ever. Virtually every job on the face of the Earth requires you to use your hands. Once the woman said "Plumber" Doris added in the part about tools.

Debunking psychics is pitifully easy... how can there be people who believe their tripe? WAKE UP.

Derren Brown did a great experiment falsifying faith healing
