So calm down, even if you're in the cult. It's not about the Führer, but about defrauding gullible people and getting away with it. I can see you like certain kinds of criminals, I find them disgusting.
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.
The more fictional nonsense a population believes, the easier they are to control and bleed dry. Religions, psychics, snake oil salesmen...they're all the same.

@@zakmartin495 No, you need to learn basic human biology and the amount of energy our bodies or heart generate. You will need a force field enough to manipulate matter in a radius, such power often generate heat and massive explosion of atoms, in this case, Hyrdrick will die from excessive heat or explode due to energy discharge of atoms. The only time you will get a kinetic energy is from fusion or fission.
What was going through his head at the final moments of him trying to move the page? 'Damn i wish i had actual psychic powers, wouldn't that be amazing'.
That audience is pretty polite. These days the audience would have laughed when nothing was happening for the “psychic” and would have probably had a heckle or two thrown.
So, which do we prefer? Polite audiences that give these guys a platform to lure gullible people, or an honest reaction that says, gtfo faker, and teach them this bs is not wanted.

@@GrammeStudio look static is pulling the pages down -page falls wrong way -nervous sweating -tries again, fails again -pulls page to make it fall the right way -phew im safe
it's not even awkward or painful or even time-wasting....it's just such a slap in the face, collectively, to everyone watching and everyone involved...just, wow....amazing.
He shoulda just blown the paper again. So what if the styrofoam puffs up? Just say it’s the manifestation of his psychic abilities... it’s more a fail of his showmanship than anything.
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.
@Jimmi K you can do it at home. You take a book open it up so the pages are right about to turn over, and then brush your hand near them and they will turn over. His mouth was closed and no one heard his nose.
When Hydrick is trying to use static as an excuse: There are forces working against me...well except for just now. And just then...and again right there.
the real super power here is James Randi's ability to apparently never have been young, ironically preventing him from being the victim of Hydrick and not the other way around.
Yeah it was a good trick but a trick never the less. There was once Russian psychic Nina Kulagina who claimed she could use telekinesis and she managed to beat all the scientific tests of her day, same with DD Homes. He somehow managed to play an accordion sealed in a glass box and levitated himself and other objects around him in a well lit room with a crowd of witnesses. I wonder how they would fair against Randi
James Allen Hydrick (born February 28, 1959) is an American former stage performer and self-described psychic, and a convicted sex offender. Hydrick was convicted of kidnapping and torture in 1977, for which he was imprisoned. Throughout the 1970s, Hydrick was arrested repeatedly for crimes ranging from burglary to assault. 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. 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.
I knew this guy was a total fkin creep. I remember the part about him being an ex con but I didn’t know it was for sex crimes. Why would they give a platform to someone with such a disgusting record? Wtf.
I'd just blow away the styrofoam together with the page and go "woah, never expected that my power grew so much, I gotta learn how to control it better, call me in a month".
what’s a papercut? I think of them as very painful but ultimately not very damaging cuts you get from the edge of a piece of paper.. how would you have a jar of those?
@@alanhillyard1639 Gabor kapus said "tin" instead of "can," so my assumption is that s/he is British or is from somewhere else that would have a preference for "tin" over "can" in this context. This also suggests to me that s/he understands "papercuts" not to mean what is typically meant in American English but to mean something like "little bits of paper"--which bits would likely have been created by cutting up larger pieces of paper.
Spinning the pin is easy but to hide you are blowing is the magic..The phone book thing though is another level.The dude with the crazy hair cut wins for me....
@@caav56 I think the point was with that level of "telekinesis" he'd only be able to move aside a follicle of your head hair. MUch less beyond anything past your skin.
@@caav56 yeah if he can't overcome the slightest of static charge in the room to move a piece of paper he definitely wouldn't be able to affect someone's brain waves which are much stronger electrical pulses
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."
Thanks for that. I thought I'd heard he was a convicted murderer, sadly it turns out he's guilty of equally or even more heinous crimes. I hope he's getting all the mental health care he needs, but I also hope he never gets released to test how well it worked
I laughed out loud when he tried to drop the page, so it fell toward him - and didn't. Then I laughed so much harder when he even tried to hold the page closer to him, and it still went the other way. @4:05
There is a simpler 'control' which could have been used: turn the telephone book 90 degrees and have the 'psychic' approach from the same direction which he did in the initial demonstration.
That's what they usually say. Hydrick knew of the existence of static electricity - which puts him a cut above the average scammer - but what he said about it made no sense.
Randi: "I've been here the whole time. And even if I weren't here, if one naysayer can allow the psychic power to no longer exist, then it's not an impressive power to me, and is not worth my time or money, even if it did exist."
Why do all self proclaimed psychics dress like goddamn psychopaths? If a person says they can read minds while dressed like a JoJo character, it's probably not a good indication of legitimacy.
Ironically enough it later transpired that he actually was a psychopath. He was literally diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder after his incarceration for kidnapping, torture and child molestation.
He was sent on a solo mission to kill Bin Ladin with his psychic powers. Darn his luck, when he found Bin Ladin he was drinking coffee from a styrofoam cup.
I remember a bunch of us kids around this time “impressing and amazing” our friends (who hadn’t watched the show) by blowing pencils around tables! Lol
I love the fact that, he thought for no aparrent reason, that the best stage costume for his trickory was to dress as a camp Samurai complete with tash and bowl cut.
In those days he could have just moved to the uk and carried on. Amazing how uri gelled carried on as if nothing happened after being exposed in the same way on American tv.
His life is a pretty sad story. His mother abandoned him when he was very small, he suffered a lot of abuse, he shows what can happen when a child is deprived of love.
Yep, he knew at that very moment they debunked his so called amazing ability and that his career was over, mmmm? I wonder what that guy does for a living now?
quoting an article: "Hydrick admitted to journalist Dan Korem that he had developed this trick in prison, not "learned it from a Chinese master" as he originally claimed. Hydrick confessed, "My whole idea behind this in the first place was to see how dumb America was. How dumb the world is." "

I imagine if psychics exists most of them are in mental hospitals or are on heavy doses of antipsychotics.
@@Btester2I'd think that if they could do something useful with those powers, it would be easy to convince people you don't need to be taking anti-psychotics. If they can't, then probably best to keep kowledge of their 'powers' to themselves.

Not this, our own government CIA have done a lot research and it’s really more of a inner ability subconscious manifestation or having insight into future events some people like Nostrodmois ect may really have something but it’s not this lololol.

It's funny how everybody just says "host". That's not just a host that's Bob Barker.
Randi was too polite to that scoundrel.
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.
The Dumb and Dumber haircut should be a giveaway.
I miss the days when hosts allowed folks to debunk psychics, instead of giving them credibility like they do nowadays.
In times of "participation medals", debunking someone is a huuuuuuuuge no-no…
The more fictional nonsense a population believes, the easier they are to control and bleed dry. Religions, psychics, snake oil salesmen...they're all the same.

That audience is pretty polite. These days the audience would have laughed when nothing was happening for the “psychic” and would have probably had a heckle or two thrown.

I prefer the actual audience without doubt
So, which do we prefer? Polite audiences that give these guys a platform to lure gullible people, or an honest reaction that says, gtfo faker, and teach them this bs is not wanted.
It was at a time when the psychic craze was in full swing, people were pretty open-minded about it and believed it was possible. "These days" people know it is pure B.S.

He shoulda just blown the paper again. So what if the styrofoam puffs up? Just say it’s the manifestation of his psychic abilities... it’s more a fail of his showmanship than anything.
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.
@@rrteppo you're an idiot
@Jimmi K you can do it at home. You take a book open it up so the pages are right about to turn over, and then brush your hand near them and they will turn over. His mouth was closed and no one heard his nose.
Exactly. Thank you
Modern psychics never get it wrong
When Hydrick is trying to use static as an excuse: There are forces working against me...well except for just now. And just then...and again right there.
For 10gs, I’d still be standing there staring at that directory hoping it moves
the real super power here is James Randi's ability to apparently never have been young, ironically preventing him from being the victim of Hydrick and not the other way around.
I don't remember what the clip was, but I saw James Randi with dark hair.
Probably an episode of "I've Got A Secret" available on the internet.
You don’t wanna be young around Hydrick... look it up.
Remember, Merlin was born old and got younger every year. If one magician can do it, why not another?
He'd make a lame xmen. His power is slightly moving a pencil and turning a phone book page. :)

*Nel* beat me to it, haha!
Even if it was fake, that page flip was smooth AF.
Randi did say it was done very cleverly.
Yeah it was a good trick but a trick never the less. There was once Russian psychic Nina Kulagina who claimed she could use telekinesis and she managed to beat all the scientific tests of her day, same with DD Homes. He somehow managed to play an accordion sealed in a glass box and levitated himself and other objects around him in a well lit room with a crowd of witnesses.

James Allen Hydrick (born February 28, 1959) is an American former stage performer and self-described psychic, and a convicted sex offender. Hydrick was convicted of kidnapping and torture in 1977, for which he was imprisoned. Throughout the 1970s, Hydrick was arrested repeatedly for crimes ranging from burglary to assault. 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. 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.

"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."
Thanks for that. I thought I'd heard he was a convicted murderer, sadly it turns out he's guilty of equally or even more heinous crimes.
