It's the only way to move forward when you have people who think like that. The more you ridicule and cuss for being whacky the more they isolate and beleive in it.

classic bs. I dont know about other people, but I see more butterflies against green plants, than straight up in the sky. I was surprised they didn't try to pass off the orange as red somehow.
Yes, she blatantly cued them in to thinking of color. They all chimed in and picked red only afterword and of course there was no red in the picture, it was orange.
I also think "seeing red" might just be them seeing light go through their eyelids. Close your eyes on a bright place and you'll see some red/orange too.
Yeah, which made it painfully obvious, especially after he insisted on Walking ON the Envelopes the first time (with shoes on), that he was Trying to Estimate which one was Thicker.
They discovered that it's bad for business when they debunk themselves on national TV. Most of these kinds of people will now refuse to let them be tested by claiming things like their powers doesn't work when influenced by "negative energy" (when non-believers are nearby)
A way to work around this is to have the psychic pick out amongst a crowd of 100 volunteers whom th psychic can sense are promoting their psychic power and have the ones hindering the power leave the room. That or have a study done to weed out those who are non-suggestible. And then set up camera equipment and have everyone leave the room and have the psychic admit that the circumstance they are in suits their needs. Might take some coaxing and very strict parameters that both James and the psychic agree to.
**a butterfly** "yeah but it can be associated with grasslands with bright skies and clouds and even swings in the middle of it" IT'S STILL JUST A GODDAMN BUTTERFLY, GRANDMA !!
R.I.P James Randi. What a great person he was, he did the ultimate service for us, by making people more skeptical to the unknown. Like seriously. People need to wake up.
Funny you bring up the most damaging hoax of all: Christmas and Christianity. We take our children and we lie to them from the earliest of ages. What a horror this country is. We lie to our children from the earliest possible ages and then we wonder why they don't trust anyone and society is in such a mess
I think it's two things: 1.He said once, I believe, that he wanted to lose the challenge - that he really looked forward to someone demonstrating undebunkable powers of some nature in front of him. Skepticism isn't about wanting someone else to be wrong, but rather hoping that they are right but holding them to a standard to demonstrate that. 2.I think some of those people had convinced themselves that they had powers. If someone isn't a malicious fraudster, then being mean to them does no good. They're about to be exposed on TV - that's enough cruelty. He reserved his true spite for people like Uri Gellar and Peter Popov, who took advantage of others..
Predictably failing, but the very 80s spooky music in the first two clips was easily the best part. Long live rationality, reason, and evidence. Thanks for all of those, Randi!
After hearing so many stories about psychics getting away with their bs, I'm glad to know people like James Randi put work and effort into debunking these saps.
James Randi is one of my true heroes. He played a huge part in skepticism becoming my worldview, and the JREF is one of the most important organizations ever established. I never got to meet him, but I do have 3 decks of the Amazing Randi playing cards which are super rare, and if anyone hasn't seen An Honest Liar yet, you need to immediately.
He never uses the term, "debunk." He listens to them and then says, "that's interesting, let's see if that's possible," and then sets up a test to see if it is possible
@FOMO FUD That's a totally harmless and a reasonable response I've ever seen to this comment. I like commenting random stuff to see people reactions or sometimes just make a scene. It's what I do. Yeah right, everyone to for their own.

I think if you tried to have someone like this today, respectful and everything, the vitriol would come from the people that defend the psychics online.
The amount of work some of these had back in the day, must have been living in comfort off parlor tricks whilst those at package holiday resorts hope for their break. We don't see as many now.

Like in the first one, what if the psychic chose the right envelope, but Randi teleported the $5 to a different envelope to make the other psychic lose all credibility?
As a long-time sceptic I appreciate how firm and even terse James was with people. I'm a sceptic and have 20 years experience of people who claimed supernatural powers, religion etc - and it took me years to realise that you really do have to be that firm. If you aren't, they will twist and turn and start to interpret your reticence as meaning they have a superior position. Sadly, sometimes you do really have to back them into a corner with logic in order to keep the conversation fair, otherwise it descends into wishy-washy 'word salad' which is where they like it. Like an abusive relationship, often they try to get you off the moral high ground by straw-manning you until you break from frustration.

I had the good fortune of knowing Randi quite well. I've traveled with him extensively and helped organize multiple years of The Amazing Meeting. It's really hard to explain what an impact that has had on me. I miss him greatly.
So I’ve been on a marathon of your cringe psychic videos since this morning lol best entertainment aside from my other favorite…..To Catch a Predator lol I think I just enjoy people getting caught😅 thank you for the uploads.
@@harvinderrishiraj888 Wrong. Meaning some believe in their psychic powers and others know they are scaming and putting on a act to get money and fame out of the sucker followers.

Just when you think he's gone back to his dark, moist home for good, ol' Chode reappears with yet *more* gold for your pockets. God bless you, m'friend. *God. Bless. You.*
If you drink the blue liquid in those magic 8 balls you can see the future. Back in 9th grade a friend of drank the blue stuff. About 5 minutes later he said "I'm going to die." Ten minutes after that he was dead.
I was fortunate enough to see Randi in Brisbane, Queensland, on his Australian tour some years back. He was an amazing speaker. I loved the way he started the show by downing an entire bottle of sleeping tablets. HOMEOPATHIC sleeping tablets. He said he did that every night at his shows, and told us the scientific fact that a “C30 solution” was more dilute than dropping an aspirin tablet into the Pacific Ocean. It would on average “require giving two billion doses per second to six billion people for 4 billion years to deliver a single molecule of the original material to any patient.” It was hilarious.
What always worries me is how gullible so many people are. It's pretty much the same mentality that keeps religions going. I understand that it's an evolutionary thing in that millions of years ago, our ancestors that reacted to false positives were more likely to survive and produce offspring than those that didn't. For example, if your ancestor saw shadows in the long grass and assumed it was a sabre-toothed tiger, they woud run away when in fact it was merely the wind moving the grass. Conversely, if another looked at the shadows moving in the grass and assumed it was just the wind, but it turned out to be that sabre-toothed tiger, then they're not going to be around for very long. This means that, as a species we've evolved to be much more inclined to attribute agency to things we see happening but don't understand what it is we're seeing and consequently assume something extraordinary is causing it to happen, hence the levels of superstition and belief in the supernatural that our species exhibits.

I had the good fortune of knowing Randi quite well. I've traveled with him extensively and helped organize multiple years of The Amazing Meeting.
It's really hard to explain what an impact that has had on me. I miss him greatly.
So I’ve been on a marathon of your cringe psychic videos since this morning lol best entertainment aside from my other favorite…..To Catch a Predator lol I think I just enjoy people getting caught😅 thank you for the uploads.

He understood absolutely zero of what she said. 🤣
Thirteen minutes and thirty five seconds of PURE CRINGY PAIN.
Thank you, Chodmunch! =)
I am 33. I just discovered this at 11:20pm on may 23, 2022. How the heck have i never heard of this show or guy until now????
8:38 is that photo talking to me?
😂😂😂
I saw him in the 1970s. Half his performance was magic and half was debunking Uri Geller.
He was great.
Pathetic that many of these psychics really think they are gifted. self delusional.
Many?...Meaning a few are real.
@@harvinderrishiraj888 Wrong.
Meaning some believe in their psychic powers and others know they are scaming and putting on a act to get money and fame out of the sucker followers.
@@yoyo762 "Meaning some believe in their psychic powers "
So they are genuine?
@@harvinderrishiraj888 I think you should consult them. You seem like the kind that psychic powers can work for.
When the psychic lady was transmitting the butterfly, I saw three squiggly lines. Clearly I am pre-cognisant!
...Or maybe I've watched Ghostbusters one too many times. :p
1:47 Why does the host hold the guy's hand?
Just when you think he's gone back to his dark, moist home for good, ol' Chode reappears with yet *more* gold for your pockets. God bless you, m'friend. *God. Bless. You.*
Wowza it's been a while but Chodmunch's still got it
7:00...you can call in, but you better guess correctly. If not, you might make him angry... and you won't like him when he's angry.
6:44 is that the guy who played Banner in the hulk series? anyone please
Yes
If you drink the blue liquid in those magic 8 balls you can see the future. Back in 9th grade a friend of drank the blue stuff. About 5 minutes later he said "I'm going to die." Ten minutes after that he was dead.
42% wanted bacon
I was fortunate enough to see Randi in Brisbane, Queensland, on his Australian tour some years back. He was an amazing speaker. I loved the way he started the show by downing an entire bottle of sleeping tablets. HOMEOPATHIC sleeping tablets. He said he did that every night at his shows, and told us the scientific fact that a “C30 solution” was more dilute than dropping an aspirin tablet into the Pacific Ocean. It would on average “require giving two billion doses per second to six billion people for 4 billion years to deliver a single molecule of the original material to any patient.”
It was hilarious.
I wonder how many of these people still believe in themselves after they are called out.
That rubber ball trick is pretty ingenious. I'm gonna have to use that on a few people.
What always worries me is how gullible so many people are. It's pretty much the same mentality that keeps religions going. I understand that it's an evolutionary thing in that millions of years ago, our ancestors that reacted to false positives were more likely to survive and produce offspring than those that didn't. For example, if your ancestor saw shadows in the long grass and assumed it was a sabre-toothed tiger, they woud run away when in fact it was merely the wind moving the grass. Conversely, if another looked at the shadows moving in the grass and assumed it was just the wind, but it turned out to be that sabre-toothed tiger, then they're not going to be around for very long. This means that, as a species we've evolved to be much more inclined to attribute agency to things we see happening but don't understand what it is we're seeing and consequently assume something extraordinary is causing it to happen, hence the levels of superstition and belief in the supernatural that our species exhibits.
