    Curious how ordinary talcum powder vanishes with the magnetic powers, huh? Randi must have some special anti-magnetic powder! lol

      +londontrada It wasn't as simple as that, though. Didn't you see the mirror weighted 10 kg?
      ... Do you even know how much is 10 kilograms? It's not something you can normally glue onto you "by a having a sweaty chest" and "leaning back a bit".

      (humans a gullible, it's a fact)
      but being gullible is actually also what makes people great at being social, our society runs on trust after all.
      without trust everything would fall apart.
      and that is also why things like this, is somewhat a big crime, misusing peoples trust to make your own fame.

      @Microtardz 7 лет назад +650

      Yeah... 10kg really isn't that much.
      He had a lot of *surface area* to make contact with, and by shifting his position he shifted the center of gravity relative to the mirror.
      Really simple trick.

      Randi destroyed 100's of people's careers. He himself was a great illusionist. He loved magic and all who performed. Magic is hard work to fool people with illusions. But one thing Randi detested, was people who swore down that they had 'powers'. And were not using magic. This pissed him off from an early age.
      He carried a check with him for most of his career. And visited 1000's of these people who claimed to have powers. And he told them should they be able to prove to him beyond doubt they had actual powers. That he would instantly give them the check for $10,000. He never gave a check to anyone. :)
      He recently said that in his entire lifetime, of all the individuals he met from 100's of Countries. That every single one of them were conmen. The ones he detested more than any and most will agree. Is the faith healers. 'donate generously now people. Hallelujah, this mans cancer is healed by my hands!' those guys. He ruined tonnes of them over the years. And i'm glad.

      His reasons for getting into the business of exposing con artists are interesting. When he worked as a magician, he encountered people who were so blown away by some of his tricks that they believed it had to be actual magic, simply because they couldn't see the trick. He tried to tell people that they were, indeed, just tricks (but of course, being a magician, he couldn't reveal the trick to them). People want to live in a magical world, and when they don't understand something, it's easy to just say, "Must be magic!"

      The magnet man has since undergone further investigation. He's not faking. He's not crazy. He's just not psychic or magnetic. Think of him as a X-Men-style mutant with a crappy power. His skin is super smooth (completely out of the bounds of normal) allowing it to make about 30 times as much surface contact as a normal person. In addition to this, when touched his skin releases a tiny amount of sweat and retracts just the tiniest bit creating a suction-cup-like effect.

His arms, legs, and torso were bound with rope to a ladder by Boy Scouts using their tightest knots. With great effort he worked his way out of the restraints to free himself before the time limit was up. No magic, no deception, no supernatural claims, just pure physical ability. Randi will always be remembered for being so authentic.

    Randi's one of the good guys. There are so many fake psychics and the like. He's making life a little bit better everyday by revealing them for what they are. When he goes we would have lost one of our own best honest researchers.

    RIP James Randi. I knew he'd have to go someday, but I was hoping he'd be around a while longer. Great man.

      Urban Van del-Who cares about traces? This guy obviously is a fraud trying to fool people with a non-magnetic mirror. Thank God for Randi. Hope that helped.

    As kids we used to put spoons on our noses and they'd stay there.

      What do you mean: "as kids". I know several adults (all geeks) who still do.

    Saw "Magnet Man" on TV in Japan back when I lived there. Not surprisingly one of the panelists on the show said, "Isn't it just sticking to your sweaty skin," and then proceeded to stick a spoon to his forehead just like MM did. It was hilarious...
