bob barker FTW!!!!! bullshitters are amazing ... they attract those who are gullible!!

During a rehearsal practice session with Hydrick the day before the actual taping Randi had the session, unknown to Hydrick, videotaped, with a highly sensitive microphone aimed and focused at Hydrick's mouth, and with the amplifier turned up far beyond normal voice level. Randi's microphone recorded monumental blasts of air every time the page moved or the pencil turned.

Hydrick's Confession ...

I love the off-the-wall excuses "psychics" give when Randi exposes them!

Randi is the best!
HE's sure trying to keep it real.
I love the look on Hydrick's face when James Randi shows the check for 10,000$. You can almost see his eye turn into dollar signs.

Dude, are there more of these? This was great.

There's a history of this sort of thing that predates Randi... Houdini was famous for travelling the country, performing his feats and exposing mentalists and mediums. But don't misunderstand me, this is awesome. For a minute I was wondering if the guy was just going to say that it was impossible under these conditions, or if he was going to try his normal way and disturb the plastic pieces. But of course, he needs to refuse to do it, because he wants to continue his "career".

The thing I was thinking while watching the first part was... so what if it was true? He trained for years and years with a master and he can turn a book's page or make a pencil move an inch, after a minute or so of sustained concentration? Um, ok.

Apparently this guy is a hardcore criminal, "I spent one year
and six months in solitary confinement."
He went back to jail after his gig as a psychic was over.

i couldn't finish watching this after Hyderick tried to explain the physics and thepages ended up turning the other way on him.

Here's James Randi talking about Uri Geller and Pophoff the faith healer. Not as good as this one as they weren't shown face to face in both cases, but you have a better understanding of Randi. You do get to see Uri Geller weasel his way out of being caught on The Tonight Show, but with no Randi present.

Anyways, James Randi has now raised his awards to one million dollars and has taken a more offensive approach as well as more rules on his screening process. He plans to publicly challenge several proclaimed psychics this April to come forth and prove themselves, including Uri Geller.

I would like to see him go after that guy that claims to speak to the dead that's popular right now. Is is name Edwards?

Going after Edwards would pretty much be a waste of time, there really is no secret to how Edwards operates. Cold reading techniques, spying on the audience before the show and while they're in line, probably the occaisonal plant in the audience, etc.

I like when this Randi dude exposes the faith healers and people like that. However, Hydrick is simply a magician, even though he professes not to be. We all know it's magic deep down, its just entertaining to watch and allow ourselves to fake-believe in it. It's fun. Exposing magicians is just not fun. It's like a debbie downer kinda thing. It's all for fun and entertainment, I think, until nut jobs use God and whatnot to con people into throwing money at them. Expose the hell outta those guys.
