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

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.
@IsmailofeRegime2 жыл бұрын
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.

@@kabukiman2153 It’s when you use open questions and simple deductions to create the illusion that you can read minds. Like you go up to an audience and say “I feel a Margaret, it could be a mother or a sister…” and an older lady says “My mother’s name was Margaret.”. 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.

This was done so calmly and with such class. Even the audience was quiet! I wish more people could have thoughtful discussions like this in public.

@@DankyDankensteinIf you think about it, The Jerry Springer show was the end of human decency. It showed the media that people are interested in sickness and depravity and the media then focused on it, creating the garbage we see today.

My theory is that Randi is the most powerful psychic in the world and also a troll. He goes around the world switching off everyone else's psychic powers with his own power. j/k

The Amazing Randi was a great man, who faced a lot of opposition in his times for what he was doing, but I doubt that anyone will ever be able to replace him. We should remember him for what he has done to counter freuds and fake psychics, something that was necessary back then, but that is still useful today.

"to counter freuds" Is that a Fraudian slip?
