  • you don't know

    psychics are real and can really see the future......... but these guys are scammers you should call them as such it is offensive to a real psychic that cons are called psychics. I am a psychic and I do not do readings for anyone ever and do not make money from this. Most of all I do not need to prove my powers to anyone so laugh if you will I don't care.

  • its great that you ...

    its great that you have him exposing all these scams but i think its more shocking that he has to do this, ive never heard of half of this S**t and its shocking that people would believe any of it. at the start on part 2, 52% believing in spiritualism? thats just wierd!

    Great presentation.

    Does anyone know what the track is at the end? It sounds like a trip hop version of Spooky or something. I'd love to know what it is.

    People have been doing this for quite a long time, lecture and exposing the scam is what Randi popularized, it is nice to see others walking in his footsteps and promoting skepticism.
