James Randi and a Psychic Artist
zhlédnutí 598KPřed 17 lety
A medium contacts the spirits (apparently), while a 'psychic artist' draws the face of the spirit being contacted. This is a good example of bad cold-reading. Cold-reading is the main technique used by self-proclaimed psychics such as Sylvia Browne and John Edward. It consists of throwing out random snippets of vague, highly generalised information (often names, numbers or initial letters) unti...

James Randi and Psychic Crime Solving
zhlédnutí 435KPřed 17 lety
A professed psychic who claims to be able to identify items used to commit crimes demonstrates this claim and fails. From episode 1 of 'James Randi - Psychic Investigator' (1991) Despite claims to the contrary, there are no known cases where information provided by a psychic has played a direct part in solving a crime (which is probably also why there are no official police psychics). Despite a...

James Randi and a Dowser
zhlédnutí 244KPřed 17 lety
A dowser gives a demonstration of his professed powers and fails. Dowsing (also known as 'divining' and 'water-witching') is the claimed ability to locate water, oil, minerals, objects, locations, missing persons etc. using such objects as a metal rod, a pair of bent wires, a forked stick, a pendulum or the open hands. In controlled tests, dowsing fails every time. Dowsing is actually nothing m...

A prominent astrologer attempts an astrological reading of actor Hugh Laurie and fails. From episode 2 of 'James Randi - Psychic Investigator' (1991) Note: the soundtrack is a little rough near the start due to problems in the original broadcast
Woman: Can speed sketch very well. Also woman: I will grift people with this skill.

Ok, seriously, Clive Thompson is a _Monty Python_ character voiced by Terry Jones!
"By 1979, an estimated single teenager who was a virgin still spilled his seed like a lawn sprinkler!" This is my story...
🐂 💩! 😆
28 secs. That’s the sound of Coral’s girdle going off .
That's Beethoven

Nella was involved in finding a stolen Vermeer.
What a horrible man.
I got 3 of 5 just by looking at them. The other 2 were tricky. 😁
Meg Ryan, air plane scene, When Harry Met Sally. She looks familiar to anyone who has seen one of her movies. I mean, she's not spot on, but pretty close. And last I checked, Mrs. Ryan was still alive and kicking.
If I was one of these people and saw James on stage I would just walk away.
wow... not good
It would have been a better test with just five people. That many people if it’s legitimate your going to have people who look similar to others. There’s three guys in my building that seem to all look like each other
She has sat down with one person and has come up with good sketches
We miss you Mr. Randi
Hahaha..
Was this filmed with a cucumber??
Our species is hopeless.
I wonder if he ever got the patent on the thought reading machine.
0:48 in other words they are going to draw a portrait and hope someone recognizes it hahaha
Jesus.... What a crock of cold reading bs
I love how Randi refers to it as the "third guess." That's all it is, the guy was just guessing and the odds got better as boxes were eliminated. Anyone could have done just as well by spinning in a circle and pointing.
🤦♂️
Brilliant
If only she said astrology is for entertainment purposes only
All white Females would never slide in todays woke World!
More hocus pocus!
These guys are as phony as today’s democrat politicians!
cool video 😀
That’s really strange. Bc the United States Geological Survey (USGS.gov) and several other scientific sources say that dowsing for water and various other solid mineral structures underground isn’t real or science and is in fact no better than the technique of “random chance”. Also, James Randi had a dowser or “water witch”/“mineral witch” come to his show and it pretty much proved that they have no idea where the mineral was any more than anyone else..it was a pretty cool experiment.
He was Asking her to Use Psychometry, a Gift she Never Claimed to Have. There are Different Types of Psychic Abilities. I See True-Crimes in Dreams and Am Highly-Telepathic. 💙🕵️♀️🧿🔎
probably the only way she would ever have an audience to her horrible art
William butler ? yeh i remember old willy but
2:55 "Sometimes we work like that" = "Sometimes we utterly fail"
James Randi grafologia
2:05 Why the heck did he touch his face like that? Weird. Very creepy.
I’m physic. I’m picking up on vibrations that someone on here has a spiritual connection with a deceased relative with the J initial. This person had a favorite food! I’m seeing them really happy when they were able to have this favorite food. Also, the month of October is meaningful in some way. Is there an old friend or coworker that you haven’t seen in a long time? I’m sensing their energy, which usually means they’ve been thinking about you. So you’ll probably get a call or bump into them in the near future. Please send me $24.99 😆
What a fantastic artist though.
Amazing how they supposedly can find stuff many meters underground but yet cant find a bit of ore mere inches form them.
its kinda sad that a prety good artist has to resort to this level of getting any sort if income or publicity. she can draw pretty good. back then she could've been a police sketch artist.
This is so crazy…can’t believe some people will believe in this bulls$%& Of course if you show a drawing of a person to 100 people, someone for sure gonna relate to that drawing in one way or the other. These people are scam artist as of every so called ‘medium’. They take advantage of vulnerable people and this makes me sick. And also think that some really think they have a special power of some sort, but these people are a bit crazy between the ears.
That table is basically acting on the same principle as the planchette in ouija board game
Every time I got in trouble when I was younger I always predicted correctly an ass beating
She's good at drawing but as for all that psychic mumbo jumbo, I dont buy that for a second.
Avoiding psychic contamination! Lol
The music is chilling.
Passed away from chest or heart problems. Had hair that got thinner with age….WOW, psychic miracle 😂
