Psychic fails James Randi $1M test

But from the article, it seems a fair enough test.

There are some idiots who take the test and then try and sue Randi when they dont get the money because of obvious failures on there part, here is one.

What a load. Randi has no input at all into the tests claimants must pass. In fact, the claimants themselves make up their own tests. The test the claimants come up with must pass muster with the judges, none of whom get any input from Randi. If the claimant has come up with a test that can be passed through false means, then the claimant can negotiate with the jurors on how to make the test more valid. Again, Randi has no input into this process. The test the claimant is to pass must be agreed upon by both the claimant and the jurors before the process can proceed. This is no doubt why the cu...

I'm guessing you haven't read about the test have you? The claimant sets the test. Example - Hi, I'm Sue Smith. I can astral project. Here is what I will do. I will travel to 5 different location and give you details of what is at each location. JREF - Can we decide the locations? SS - No, I will give you a list.

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. SIMPLIFIED. HN Are you sure the claimant has this much control? I want to see spe... [More]

Are you sure the claimant has this much control? I want to see specific criteria. The way I am understanding is that the claimant tells the test panel his/her specific area if expertize and then they pull a prepared outline to address that area of ability. After which the specifics of the test are negotiated. One thing I noticed that struck a chord is that most claimants back out during this process and I believe this is where the complaints against the tests comes from. In other words they are being pigeon holed into doing it a certain way. As I said in my previous post, I could be wrong and ... [More]

http://www.happierabroad.com/Debunking_Ske...ents/Page30.htm Your source (rightly) chides Randi for errors he's made in his statements, but does absolutely nothing to question the integrity of Randi's challenge which, as has been stated several times, Randi is not personally involved in. In fact, your source erroneously implies that Randi is involved in them, and fails to acknowledge that the claimant is the one that designs the test, not the JREF: Simply put, there are a variety of reasons why it would still be unwon, ranging from Randi’s own agenda, to the simple spiritual rule that psychi...
