I followed the work of James Randi closely for a couple of years and must say he pissed off quite a lot of people claiming to be psychic. As this video shows, he offered Hydrick $10 000 to prove that he indeed has psychic abilities. Can you just imagine how much $10 000 was back then? This is how much James knew that these people are all Scammers. RIP James Randi.

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

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.

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.

@@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.

I think Randi often treated the "psychics" he busted with kid gloves because he knew a fair portion of them were actually mentally ill people that truly believed in their own lies. He wasn't the kind to giggle gleefully at the person's demise, if anything, he felt sorry for them.

it's even more delicate than that. Telephone book pages are very light. When you saw him move his hand forwards that created a puff of air that turned over the page, but the second time the book was opened more forcefully so the page wasn't right about to turn over. It's actually a really cool way to use physics and your hand to do things.

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 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.

My favourite bit is after he already failed and started making excuses the presenter looks him dead in the face and says "you should at least try, with psychic power, to turn the page of the telephone directory James"

I'm old. I remember Bob Barker on tbe show Truth or Consequences in the 70s . The Price is Right had it's 50th year special on tv recently . It was the first time that Price is Right had a prime time special episode , that Bob didn't attend as a guest . In his mid 90s now .
