Randi recently said that there were bodyguards off stage keeping an eye on the guy, since he was known to go violent on occasions.

"it pulls the page down" *page falls correctly* I laughed so much.

@winterstellar In fact, the million dollar prize still is up for grabs. The psychics debunk themselves, since they cannot conclusively prove that the powers the claim do actually exist. Mr. Randi knows all the tricks of the trade that the psychics use. The tests are arranged by, and agreed upon, between his foundation and the person being tested. It is agreed that it is a fair test before the psychic even enters the test. A panel of independent judges also are agreed upon.

@Mr420woo

 He IS in jail for child sex offenses.

Hehe, every single person with his or her "psychic" or "paranormal powers" were busted and exposed as frauds or deluded from 1963 all the way up to 2010. I think he has taken the prize down now. It was at a million dollars the last decade or so.. : )

Hydrick, humiliated and shamed on live television. If it was me, I would run out of the studio and...Well, you all don't need to know. Just be glad it was 1980 and not 2011.

[tyrese3745]

6:59 - Busted. Cold busted. Hydrick gambled and lost. Tsk tsk tsk.

Dennis markuze is a retard.

[rkim1993]

So when he molested children, did he do it with his "psychic" powers? LMAO...

[Ateisthortlak]

James Randi: A Jedi Master... :D

@Mr420woo He was incarcerated both before, and after, his appearance with Randi. He's been in jail many, many times (we're talking a guy who is institutionalised here, like Manson).

He was always a conman and a manipulator, and he molested children.

As the original poster said, he was and IS a violent person. His martial arts abilities aren't faked, only his psychic abilities. He learned martial arts somewhere and was known to be a very violent individual.
