Really cool to see this side of Chris. I like that he’s trying to explain that entertainment and parlor tricks are just that, entertainment, and that when people start using that to profit off people that are in a vulnerable time in life, he’s not ok with that and has no problem voicing it for everyone to know. 👏🏼

[@sowaveysuyat]

Would he expose it before he got rich off „magic” too though? Nope but i respect him talking about it now

[@gravejames7221]

I completely agree with you, but i have to disagree with criss slightly, i cant blame him for having the opinion he has, you wouldn’t even take psychic ability seriously unless you actually experienced an unexplainable situation firsthand. and i have, a lady i never met in person predicted in detail all the women i would date or sleep with including details about them, breast size, hair length, colors, names etc. timelines, car models etc. bumper stickers too. and even my career choice. i lost all contact with her shortly after that but literally everything she said was true and things about my past were true as well. Things iv never told anyone. and also she was not profiting from me either. it was a friendly conversation. When this occurred i went on a mission collecting data and seeing psychics and in the hundreds of people i met only 3 have been legit. Knowing things that were impossible and predicted things that came true in exact specific detail. Now… this only makes it more offensive to me when scammers lie to people and scam them because i know real psychics do exist and it makes finding one a real hassle when 98 percent of them are liars or thieves. one thing i have noticed about the real ones is that they typically really want to help people and arent always expecting money. Tip for you there.

[@YtuserSumone-rl6sw]

The last conclusion on Crisses path is nihilism. Some can live relatively on and off happy as nihilists. Most can't. Also, he and others like him are caught in the confirmation bias game just like the people they mock or despise. They have their set belief and look for explanations to confirm it. I'm skeptic which means I don't have a firm belief one way or the other and take nobody on any sides of fences at face value. I let time pass and see the complexities unfold. Skepticism requires open mind and so I have talked with some people with 'abilities'. Some parts I can't say one way or the other, some I reject, some have turned out as remarkably true, like finding a micro needle in a hay stack concerning me and my life. And Crisses explanations do not apply at all to those instances. I can't stress it enough, these explanations don't work in what I have experienced. So, nihilists be nihilists and continue searching confirmation to their ready and final set of convictions. But that is not me.

Yeah dumb people fall for the psychic shit and just like Chriss wisely said, "they only remember what they want to." They don't remember the line of questioning that led up to the psychics "assumption" or all of the things they guessed wrong. It's like paranormal enthusiasts or conspiracy theorists (not saying they don't exist/some aren't real) if you WANT to believe so badly, you will find ways to convince yourself. The mind is a helluva drug.

On the reverse of that, people go to psychics because they are struggling mentally and lost. A good psychic would help someone get over a lost loved one by telling them to let that person go, which is something a grieving person might need to hear. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a good psychic because they are all in it for money, not to help anyone, and they are scammers by definition since they don't actually have psychic powers.

I like how Criss didn't back off of psychics being fos regardless of Steve Os experience.

[@ImHeadshotSniper]

it's because he knows with reasonable certainty. while yeah there totally COULD be a real psychic (keeping a purely open mind), it's the very fact that literally every single psychic presentation you'll find under the sun operates on the same methods of vaguely obscure readings, to the point that the prediction must come true at some point in time. this vague reading leads victims of the psychic to mentally keep an eye out for the vague things the psychic suggested, giving the effect that when they do finally see something which they feel is what the psychic suggested, it leads the person to believe that the psychic knew it was going to happen, when they had absolutely no idea.

[@Bakedea87]

Because that's called being stubborn. Hes not a real magic trick kind of guy so why would he shit all over himself knowing hes not real and that his tricks where all camera tricks lol

[@Bakedea87]

I bet if you switched criss Angel and dauve Blaine they both would different perspectives. One only believes in parlor tricks when the other actually tries to make magic happen.

[@user_kH9bw3ns1]

Some people are more arrogant and I think steve-o is more open minded.

[@ImHeadshotSniper]

@@Bakedea87 you call curious resistance to a questionable story stubborn? it is actually the exact opposite. it would be stubborn to automatically assume things are all true based on peoples word alone. there is the option of 1. lying (obviously unlikely in SteveO's case, he's an honest G), or 2. not all the information is known, and this is where Criss began explaining the high likelihood of "pre-show" information collection that they can present later in a seemingly magical way. if you want to see a good example of this, watch James Randi's debunking of Peter Popovs faith healing church, where he records them collecting addresses and personal information about people in the pre-show before they record the miraculous reveal of all that collected information via radio on live tv. Criss Angel does know a lot of real magic tricks, he said in the podcast he was more a generalized type who never specialized in anything, but knew about it all in the most general sense.

@@saulspeaks2557 I was gullible when I was young. It took decades for me to shake off religious indoctrination. I have had 'odd' personal experiences too, but that is exactly why learning to think critically is important. Because if you know something about the psychology of magic, you know how easy it is for your senses to fool you. Science eliminates that personal bias--which is why science is responsible for all the progress of our species, and your "personally encountered stuff" is responsible for nothing but foolishness and dead ends. For example, say you saw a ghost. Do you believe it was a ghost because you saw it, and experienced it? If your answer is yes, you don't understand how skepticism works and why it is important. Since there is zero objective evidence for ghosts, the far more likely explanation is that your senses fooled you, or that something fooled your senses. Admitting that to yourself is tough, because it is hard to deny the truth of your own experience, but it is the smarter thing to do. Because if you validate personal experience as truth, anything goes. People blow up buildings because they were 100% convinced that god or a demon told them to. They were wrong. You are wrong. Learn about confirmation bias. Learn to question your own beliefs.

Uri was on Johnny Carson one time and he planned on using his own set of silverware. But Johnny was smarter than that and provided him with the *studio's* silverware. Of course Uri couldn't do his trick because the studio's set wasn't prepared with previously bent, loose dinnerware.😂 Uri got annoyed with Johnny because of that and he said at one point, "I can't do this if you're going to pressure me." . 😆 Johnny said, "I'm not doing anything. I'm just sitting here waiting to see what you can do.".😂

I have a good friend who's clairvoyant, like 100% legit no BS the real deal. We had been friends for years before she ever even brought it up in conversation. She grew up in a religious household and suppressed and hid her gift as a kid because her parents believed it was “evil." And its nothing like a generic cold reading. She literally told me my innermost thoughts, beliefs, and stuff that I never told anyone. I asked her to do a reading on an ex, who she had never met before, and she had her in tears in a matter of seconds. She also did a reading on another friend of mine, who was a 27 year old virgin at the time, that he was going to be the groom in a "bogus wedding," which he blew off as nonsense since he had never even been with a girl. But sure enough, like a week later, he hooks up with with this asian girl, and the first time he sleeps over at her place, he wakes up the next morning, and her entire family is there, preparing to marry them in traditional asian wedding ceremony. He called me in shock, told me that what had been said during his reading was coming true, and begging me to come and rescue him. And being the good friend that I am, I went and rescued him. And even though my friends readings are hella legit, she never charges money for a reading, she'll only do a reading on someone if they could somehow benefit from the information, and she won't do readings on sketchy people or people that are "only going to get bad news" in her words. I know there are plenty of charlatans, but Im convinced with 100% certainty that my friend has "the gift." So I'm sure there are others who have it also. .

[@cindybombarger9224]

I have a friend who is like that. She does medical readings on complete strangers because her guides tell her to like when she's in the grocery store. She will tell someone that they need a certain vitamin or whatever. She's amazing. That's not all she knows or channels but you get the picture. She's blown my mind many times. She does not profit from it other than tge satisfaction of helping people.

[@-NFiN8-]

@@cindybombarger9224 Interesting. Sort of like an "awake and conscious" Edgar Casey. Sorta different from my friend though, as she doesn't "channel" or have "guides". She just uses the "gift" she's had since she was a little kid. Not saying that either way is any better or worse than the other, obviously they're both tapped into something we can't see but definitely does exist. And you can always tell who the legit ones are because they are not out for financial gain. Like you were saying, their personal reward is the satisfaction and gratitude that comes from helping other people, not making money off of them.

[@sticks2478]

I used to be a total non believer. I'm still sceptical but I have experienced something unexplainable to me. My parents were killed in a car crash in 1974. I was raised by my grandmother who passed away in 1993 (pre internet). My aunt (moms sister) was concerned that my grandmother had passed away at home alone from a stroke. So she went to see a psychic in a city 3 hours away from the small town we lived in. My aunt booked the reading telling the lady nothing about us. When my aunt arrived the next day, the psychic told her that as soon as she had taken the booking a woman had been contacting her begging to let her two boys know she never meant to leave us. This was before mobile phones and the internet and I just can't for the life of me understand how she could have known such specific details about something she wasn't even asked about that had happened 20 odd years in the past. If that is cold reading than hat's off to that lady... She deserves every dollar she makes.

[@1badjesus]

SORRY to pop your bubble but obvious how "psychic" knew.. for one HOW do you know what your aunt said to her ? were you nearby on the call when she booked appointment ? Con artists are very subtle in the way they extract information ..your aunt wanted to know if her mother died alone.. perhaps she casually mentioned that her mother raised HER GRANDCHILDREN from their infancy but before her death lived alone; now the "psychic" knows that BOTH Mommy and Daddy are not in the picture (rare both gone unless deceased). So with aunt's name the "psychic" can get family tree from hall of records. Now having your deceased mother's name they simply look up deaths dating back 2-3 decades with her name using your grandma's house as their address. ALL news articles, etc was visible at Hall of records OR local library on microfilm. ... And computers DID exist in the 1990s. some services you'd call with name or bit of data and within few hours they'd have a printout of recent family history printed out. My bet is your aunt let slip her mom raised her grandchildren from toddlers to adulthood solo.. from that you can extrapolate what happened. Car accident leaving two orpands would DEFINITELY make front page of major newspapers then. I don't share all that to bum ya out but in the hope good people such as yourself are not preyed upon in their time of grief.

What Criss is saying is true, almost. They're basically almost all cold readers, paid ones in particular. Only reason I say almost is that until you've had someone random who you haven't paid, who you've never met tell you VERY detailed information out of the blue you'll never believe it. But when that happens with zero cold reading, nothing, it will amaze you. I've had my experiences. I've had it with others witness it and freak out. I've seen it happen to others. Legit ones are just pulled to tell you something and believe me it's never some simple thing and they won't check to see if you're buying in to it like some cold reader. They'll just tell you and move on.

[@jenx5870]

Yes, but if it had been one of your cousins, an uncle, etc., it still would have been a correct prediction. That's known as a general prediction, which could be true of many people. If she were truly psychic, why didn't she just come out and tell her she would become a young widow? Even better, why didn't she warn your mother that your father had health issues, so she could get him to a doctor, or tell her the date that the accident would occur so he could stay home? I am not making light of it, because I am sorry for your loss. I lost my husband when he was only 39 yrs old. I was 36 yrs old at the time, and at 51 yrs old, I still miss him. I just don't think this "psychic" correctly predicted anything that anyone else couldn't just throw out and be right about with any other family. After all, we fit predictions to our narrative when we want to believe, and young can become subjective. "Uncle Jack died at 63 yrs old. He was so young..." See what I'm saying?

[@ReasonBeing25]

You really believe that's some improbable thing to say? Did he say your dad within a year, did ge give a specific age range? Or did he suggest something so vague, that you could fit almost any male death in your entire extended family, into that prediction. Better yet, if that situation never came up, you never would have thought of that prediction again.
