I was initially impressed with the guy dressed like a superhero, and mad at the small man in the suit, but by the end, I realized that adults can be trickers, and a certain amount of skepticism can keep you safe. Thank you, James Randi, for the lesson. RIP

That's why I admire people like Paul Daniels and Derrin Brown who can do all of these "Psychic" tricks (and will do them under laboratory conditions) and openly say it is a trick/illusion . Derrin Brown has even fooled "Psychics" into wanting to purchase his "Dream catcher" -which was simply a plastic box with a battery to light up the bulb when a dream had been "caught"; a total piece of rubbish-so good was he at the fraud. Also he did a medium's talk to the dead, he openly says he detests this fraud and all he used were the same parlour tricks used by Victorians, He was 100% able to tell the subject "messages" from her family and reduced her to tears on what he told her. As he said, a very cruel fraud with nothing psychic about it. I think this is what drove Randi on, God bless him

NazcarFanatic24 It’s the difference between modernism and postmodernism. The modernist view is that is that we will march forward and onward towards a brighter future with the power of science and human reason and there’s no place for these old hokey superstitions to hold us back. Then the USSR fell, they declared that we had reached “The End of History” and they bring back the old mysticism because we need things that help justify the new eternal order.

Me, too. I was in single digits. The late 70's was at a fever pitch for the supernatural being on primetime tv. You had specials, That's Incredible, Real People, Ripley's. It was even working its way into shows that were based in the real world, but then they would have a couple episodes focusing on a character with supernatural abilities. It was quite a confusing time to be a young kid!

Cop - you say he showed up around lunchtime. And he was wearing what looked like custom made pajamas (Teller starts snickering, tries not to). So you say he was wearing "custom made pajamas" Teller Yes sir (losing composure) now the officer is having trouble keeping a straight face. Cop - Okay let's be serious here. That's when your boss, Ms. Maple said he looked like...(Ms Maple speaks up) "I said he looked like a child molester from outer space". (At this point nearly everyone is losing it). Cop - But you DID say he tried to steal money, correct? Teller - Yes. The unsecured bills started to float and move towards the window. Cop - so all the cash that was floating away. How much was that, do you think? Teller - (barely able to breathe). It was... it .. Nine dollars sir. Cop - he robbed a bank and only got nine dollars? Teller - No, no sir. Ms. Jackson over there, she stopped it. (Cop turns to see who Ms. Jackson is. She appears to be in her mid 80's, she smiles and gives a wave. Cop - Okay, how did you namage to do that, Ms. Jackson? Ms. Jackson - I closed the window. Everybody is turning colors. The cop reaches for his shoulder mic, requests medical, listens for a second or two, and answers everyone is fine, but bring all the oxygen they have.

I always wonder how many of them have convinced themselves that they really do have powers. Like maybe Tracksuit Bowlcut always thought he was just doing magical yoga breathing up until now. And now that Randi pointed out that he has been blowing on things to make them move, he is trying it without breathing and is terrified to learn that it doesn't work. I know it sounds ridiculous. But if someone wants superpowers badly enough, they could conceivably delude themselves into thinking they have them.

I think in a situation like this, he can't just dismiss Randi's restrictions out of hand, otherwise it'd be tantamount to admitting Randi stumped him. So the "best" thing he has left is to give the impression he's trying to work his magic while thinking up an "explanation" as to why said magic isn't working at the moment.

Since she referred to her in the past tense you say “I want you to know that she’s watching over you. She’s telling me about the first time she let you cook, you remember how many dirty dishes there were? She’s caring for you now just as she was then.”. And she’s so surprised like “How does he know about that?”. Of course it’s because every woman remembers being allowed to cook with their mom the first time. Cold reading really is super easy. After a little practice you can do it on autopilot.

Apparently that wasn't the only time he was exposed. From Wikipedia "Hydrick also set up martial arts classes and claimed he could pass on the gift of psychokinesis to children through special training techniques, which was shown in 1989 to be a front for his coercing children into performing sexual favors for him, and was a factor in his conviction for sexual assault of a minor." "Wanted on an outstanding warrant, Hydrick was apprehended after police saw him discussing psychic powers on the Sally Jessy Raphael talk show. In 1989, Hydrick was sentenced to 17 years for molesting five boys in Huntington Beach, California. After serving his sentence, he was remanded to Atascadero State Hospital for treatment under the state's sexually violent predator law. Psychologist Jesus Padilla described Hydrick as "an extremely difficult patient" who suffers from pedophilia, paraphilia, and antisocial personality disorder. Hydrick petitioned for release in May 2013, but a trial resulted in a hung jury. As of 2021, he is housed at the Coalinga State Hospital."

Hydrick was convicted of kidnapping and torture in 1977, for which he was imprisoned. Throughout the 1970s, Hydrick was arrested repeatedly for crimes ranging from burglary to assault. Hydrick also set up martial arts classes and claimed he could pass on the gift of psychokinesis to children through special training techniques, which was shown in 1989 to be a front for his coercing children into performing sexual favors for him, and was a factor in his conviction for sexual assault of a minor.

Well, extremely useful actually, to science anyway... It would mean that there would be proof that the human mind is capable of doing such a thing, therefore leading to research and progression of such ability, perhaps not just in the knob on stage, but for other people, where who knows, you might find yourself being able to fly just with your thoughts....!
