Give me one good example of a 'telekinesis' performance that isn't a common magic trick. Just so you know, there are none. Quote:
But uh, anything can be said on TV. At one point they thought psychic abilities were real because of faulty scientific method. But then of course once the conditions were setup such that there was no cheating allowed the psychics failed horribly as expected. Generally most people that have been talked into the Randi challenge can't even seem to remember what they went there for and claim they must leave due to mental illness. Strange, that. The rest of them just can't seem to find the place or refuse Randi's offer. Seems to me a convenient way of backing out to avoid humility like the few that have actually attempted it. Everytime Randi gets involved with these so called paranormalists it's laughable. Everytime. He changes one thing about their act (because again it's just a well known magic trick) and then they make a fool of themselves. Quote:
Just like the psi wheel, this levitation trick is well known and will be debunked, and your friend will be laughed at for trying to play this off as telekinesis. Get real; this is a MAGIC TRICK, not some sort of mystical ability. And just because something seems so real does not mean it is. When your friend is making the toothpics levitate, he's fooling you. Be a skeptic and try to figure out how he might be using trickery. From there, set up certain conditions to try and debunk his act. It shouldn't take long, and then you'll know how to do a pretty neat magic trick to fool your friends. But please, there is nothing lower than trying to pass off a magic trick as a paranormal ability. I dislike with a passion people that claim things like psychic abilities and con people into spending their money on deceiving tricks.
