More on TV mediums, psychics

I use to watch Colin Fry as well, cannot say too much about him of course but he seems genuine.

Sorry hon,
Randi denies all paranormal realities, the dude is busy debunking:
telepathy
telekinesis- spoonbending
mentalism
clairvoyance
precognition
angels
god
I hear the Pope, Dali Lama are next.

Perhaps he'll take on the Muslim Faith and we'll see the last of dear Randi.

He HAS uncovered some frauds, to be sure, but I fear his fervor and need for fame has gotten the best of him.

Even modern physics is more openminded than Mr Randi. What baffles me is the number of folks who cannot see through him, his agenda.

This thread is partially about entertainment...and that's primarily what he's good for ... as a tired joke

Mr Psycho is the only one on my ignore list, (I cannot see his invaluable comments), and hope others ignore his cynicism & baiting. I've simply had my fill of this.

Most skeptics don't get paid to be skeptical - you gotta admit that's a true statement. He has deliberately made a career out of it, and I find that simply offensive, that's all.

Well good luck to him, what about all these people who claim all sorts of garbage, don't they make a profit out of what their doing, after all we all have to survive.

Saw a few clips of him.

A silly, yet funny parody by the Onion , of TV studio, medium performances

A delightful personality and very accurate too.

There are many that came onto his show to wine the money, but they all failed, even Guirie Geller or whatever his name is, I like to think that these things are true, but without proper evidence how can any intelligent person believe it ?. these people use those who are suffering from loss of loved ones, to me its disgusting.

Before you rush to defend this dude, I suggest you watch this video and make sure you are informed first otherwise you will just come across as the ignorant one. Its ok to be a skeptic, but you are more of a cynic than anything else.I've seen that in other forums. I imagine you haven't contributed much to the world if you find the need to spout mess when it is Randi who has gone above and beyond to damage people's reputations who have proven time and time again that they are legit.
Psychics don't have anything to prove to anyone. Not to you, not to me, not to anyone.Their success speaks for itself. They have better things to do with their time than actually go along with his **. Randi spent all his time trashing people's reputations and this video alone speaks volumes about what a hoax he actually was. Even this lawyer is basically discouraging psychics to just walk away when he tried to lure them in to the whole "million dollar challenge." Tell me. Why would a lawyer do that unless it was for a good reason, hm?

Thanx for sharing this.
It seems mr Randi's challenge is itself a slight of hand hoax, as many have guessed.
But this spells it out as only an attourney could perceive.

The "defender of truth" is himself revealed as a master trickster, something many have seen without knowing the details of his fraudulent challenge.

It's a no win situation for anyone foolish enough to bite.
Regrettably there ARE frauds among the true talents, Just as in any other profession.

Yet great talents, souls like Edgar Cayce were targeted, entrapped , simply for trying to serve humanity with their gifts, by those with no vision-imagination

There are so many fools out there that will believe in anything, the majority are usually wrong anyway, if these people can do what they claim, well do it, its that simple, prove me wrong , I might then change my mind, I am not a sucker who believes in anything that is told to me, I've been there and done that.
