James Randi is a God among men. I just hope there’s someone worthy enough to pass the torch to when he passes. Thank you Amazing Randi for your great work.

Wow. I remember watching this when it originally aired. I must have been around 9 years old. I can vividly remember feeling a bit conflicted after watching it. On the one hand I felt sorry for James Hydrick, yet at the same time felt like he was caught cheating, so shame on him. Over the years I used to ask people I knew if they remembered seeing it but no one had. I eventually figured I’d dreamed it. Thanks a lot for the memories. And god bless you James Randi.

Please show the public Randi where the million dollars is under escrow? Or are the funds smoke and mirrors?

Just something to check out:

Watch – stop the film at 3:56 – start and WATCH!
James will turn his head around, [not looking at the pencil or camera] also, his hands are on his lap… while like this, the pencil moves.

Watch 3:56 to 4:00 over and over — James is NOT using his breath nor his hands and the pencil moves…. I can’t explain it, maybe someone else can.

James IS a pedophile. – Still a bit shocking and very sad. As far as an illusionist, James is very GOOD at it.

for the victims of Randi’s monstrous idea…….

Visit:

http://www.centerforinquiry.net/forums/viewthread/3283/P0/

to see how we stopped James Randi’s fraudulent MILLION DOLLAR challenge…..

watch carefully the consequences of Randi’s *idea*…..

For over 40 years James Randi Zwigert (is this even a REAL NAME?) has had total control over who and how the testing was conducted, yet despite all this he has terminated the challenge.

The ONLY REASON why the challenge was stopped is because he lost and refused to pay.

Apparently, Randi likes to break the rules when it serves him:

“14. This prize will continue to be offered until it is awarded. Upon the death of James Randi, the administration of the prize will pass into other hands, and it is intended that it continue in force. ”

Great force…..it’s over……

where is my MILLION DOLLARS, you LITTLE *NO-NAME* FRAUD

I love the showmanship he had; all the posturing was quite amusing. However, it didn’t quite draw attention away from the way his face fell when he saw the styrofoam…!

Randy is just another side of the coin with regards to Hydrick. He is an arrogant prick who draws out suckers like he is. He has proved nothing other than you see what you want to see. He sees fake, he often gets fake. No one of real ability of any kind would seek out such an egotistical, cynical self hater like Randy. The man, like Penn and Teller, truly need to at least get laid.

Oh, and Al, the reason Randi didn’t cover his mouth is that it would require him to touch the subject being examined. Randi’s solution in this case was rather ingenious.

Although if I were Hydrick, I would have turned the page anyway, and claimed any moved styrofoam was the result of the force of the psychic blow given to the page, or claimed that the psychic force couldn’t be controlled finely enough to pick up just the page and not the styrofoam around it.

Goes to show how disingenuous some of the tricksters are, just like Randi says.
