00:00:18
accuracy so many fine
00:00:20
folk so here's somebody smiling faces
00:00:23
idea
00:00:25
i have a very good to your background
attitude and approach to the real world
00:00:30
because are contour
00:00:32
i've heard that term over
00:00:34
magician
00:00:35
because of wireimage action that would
mean
00:00:37
that i use spells and incantations and
00:00:40
wierd
00:00:41
gestures
00:00:43
than original accomplish real magic now
why don't do that on the conjure
00:00:47
who is someone who pretends
00:00:49
to be
00:00:50
a real magician
00:00:54
how do we go about their sort of thing
00:00:57
we uh... we depend on the fact that i
want you to such as yourself
00:01:00
will make assumptions
00:01:02
for example when i've walked up here
right at the microphone
00:01:06
from the stands with a lot
00:01:08
you assume this is a microphone which it
is not
00:01:11
on as a matter of fact
00:01:13
something that uh... about happened u
00:01:15
more than happy will not be too but it
was
00:01:19
travers city and makes a very bad
microphone i've tried it many times
00:01:24
yeah there is something that you made an
00:01:26
this in the lesson is to show you that
you will make assumptions
00:01:30
not only that you can with the chill
will when they're properly suggested to
00:01:34
you
00:01:34
you believe i'm looking actually wrong
00:01:37
i'm not looking at so i can't see you
00:01:39
i know you're out there they told me
backstage with the full house and such
00:01:42
are no longer there cuz i can hear you
00:01:44
but i can see it because i don't mean
wear glasses
00:01:47
these are not recipezaar empty freight
00:01:50
quite a few friends know why would a
grown man appeared before you wearing
00:01:54
empty frames on his face
00:01:57
flee ladies and gentlemen to do
00:01:59
this show that you
00:02:01
can't make assumptions don't you ever
forget that
00:02:05
now i have to do something first of all
switcher real glasses so i can actually
00:02:08
see deal which would probably be a
convenience i don't know i haven't had a
00:02:12
good look well it's not that great
inconvenience
00:02:16
contacted is something i would just
seemed a little bit
00:02:18
strange for
00:02:19
a magician
00:02:20
but i'm going to fix a medication this
is uh...
00:02:24
before bottle of commerce
00:02:25
forty eight
00:02:26
talisman that just a moment
00:02:29
ignore the instructions s but there is
the government has
00:02:32
buddy and they're confused you trip
00:02:35
and will take
00:02:36
and not to be used
00:02:41
v the whole project
00:02:47
thirty-two caplets club calms poor kitty
00:02:50
now that i've done now of expert at the
moment
00:02:53
about tell you that
00:02:55
i'm an actor
00:02:57
i'm an actor who plays sipping part
00:03:00
i think the part
00:03:01
of objection
00:03:02
a blizzard if you will have real wizard
00:03:05
the someone reappear on the stage in
front of it
00:03:08
and actually claimed to be
00:03:10
a nation prince of denmark
00:03:13
named hamlet you would be insulted
00:03:15
and rightly so
00:03:17
why would a man
00:03:18
assume that you would believe something
was are like this but there is just out
00:03:21
there
00:03:23
uh... terry
00:03:24
large population
00:03:26
of people who
00:03:27
will tell you that they have psychic
00:03:29
magical powers of a convicted you trip
00:03:32
that they can make contact with
00:03:33
with the deceased
00:03:35
they also say
00:03:36
they will sell you astrology or other
fortune telling methods
00:03:40
i will be glad decided that s and they
also say that they can give you
00:03:44
perpetual motion machines and free
energy systems they claim to be psychics
00:03:51
percentages whatever they can
00:03:52
but the one thing that has made a big
comeback just recently
00:03:57
is this business
00:03:58
uh... speaking with
00:04:00
began dot
00:04:02
dr minas mind dead
00:04:05
implies
00:04:07
incapable of communicating
00:04:10
you might agree with me on that
00:04:12
but these people
00:04:13
they tend to tell you that not only can
they communicate the dead
00:04:17
either
00:04:19
what they can hear the dead as well and
they can
00:04:21
relay this information back to the
living
00:04:25
i wonder if that's true
00:04:27
i don't think so because
00:04:28
this subculture of people
00:04:30
use exactly the same gimmicks that we
magicians do
00:04:33
exactly the same
00:04:35
the same compat physical methods the
same psychological methods
00:04:39
and they have to actively and profoundly
deceived
00:04:42
millions of people around the earth
00:04:44
to their determinative they just seen
these people
00:04:47
cost them a lot of money
00:04:48
cost them a lot of emotional anguish
00:04:52
billions of dollars are spent every year
00:04:55
all over the globe
00:04:56
on these charlatans
00:04:59
now i had two questions i would like to
ask these people that i had the
00:05:02
opportunity to do so
00:05:04
first question
00:05:05
i want to ask him to call up because
they do hear them through the year they
00:05:09
the listened to disperse like this
00:05:11
i would ask you to call up the ghost of
my grandmother
00:05:14
because when she died she had the family
will lucci secreted someplace we don't
00:05:18
know where it is
00:05:19
so we asked brandy whereas the will
brandy was granny say
00:05:22
pieces i'm in heaven it's wonderful i'm
here with all my old friends my deceased
00:05:26
friends and my family
00:05:27
and all the puppy dogs of the the
candidates to happen i was a little girl
00:05:31
and i love you and i'll always be with
you can't bottle
00:05:36
anchee min max in the damn question
00:05:38
whereas the well
00:05:40
thank you bernie
00:05:41
easily upset what's in the library on
the second job by the encyclopedia but
00:05:44
she doesn't say that
00:05:46
no she doesn't she doesn't bring eddie
useful information to us
00:05:50
we paid a lot of i think that
information
00:05:52
but we didn't get it
00:05:54
the second question that i'd like to ask
00:05:57
rather simple symbols i asked him to
contact the spirit of my deceased father
00:06:01
of our as an example why do they insist
on say member they speak into this year
00:06:06
why do they say
00:06:08
my name starts with j around
00:06:11
hisses at hunting game that hunting and
fishing what is
00:06:15
is a twenty questions know what's more
like a hundred and twenty questions but
00:06:19
it is that cool
00:06:20
vicious
00:06:22
absolutely consciousness for us
00:06:24
conscious list mistakes i'll be argued
receipts
00:06:29
people play
00:06:31
and they take advantage of the innocent
and i need the grieving
00:06:34
the needy people out there
00:06:37
now this is a process
00:06:39
it is called cold reading
00:06:42
there's one follow-up care
00:06:45
that frog has named james on prime news
one of the big practitioners of this
00:06:49
sort of a john edward sylvia brown
00:06:52
and uh... rosemary i don't see a they
are other operators there hundreds from
00:06:56
all over the river
00:06:56
but in this country
00:06:58
james on progress very big and what does
he do compete likes to tell you how the
00:07:02
deceased dot deceased
00:07:04
the people he's talking to you
00:07:05
through these years he
00:07:07
so what he says it's very obvious like
this he says
00:07:10
he tells me
00:07:11
it'll be before he passed
00:07:14
that he had trouble breathing
00:07:16
folks that's what died
00:07:18
is all about
00:07:20
stop breathing up in your daily activity
00:07:23
it's that simple
00:07:24
and that's the kind of information
they're going to bring back to you
00:07:27
hideout tensile
00:07:28
now these people will make guesses
they'll say things like
00:07:31
why am i getting electricity he's saying
to me electricity izzy was you know what
00:07:37
you should know you never have elected
razor dole it was a game of hunting and
00:07:41
questions like this
00:07:42
this is what they go through
00:07:44
now
00:07:46
folks often after such a games ready
educational foundation
00:07:49
they call me they say why you're so
concerned about dismissed around it's
00:07:51
not just a lot of fun
00:07:53
no it is not fun it is a cruel farce
00:07:57
now it may bring
00:07:58
a certain amount of comfort
00:08:00
but that comfort last only about twenty
minutes or so and then the people look
00:08:04
in the mirror and they say i just paid a
lot of money for that week
00:08:07
and what did she say to me i'd love you
00:08:11
they always say that
00:08:12
they don't get any information they
don't get me value
00:08:15
for what they spent now sylvia brown is
the big operative we call it the talents
00:08:20
sylvia brown thank you
00:08:22
sylvia brown is the big operator in this
field at this very moment
00:08:27
now some your brown
00:08:29
just to show you
00:08:30
she actually gets seven hundred dollars
00:08:33
for a twenty minute reading
00:08:35
over at the telephone she does need to
go there in person
00:08:38
but you have to wait up to two years
because she talked to had that amount of
00:08:41
time
00:08:42
you pay by credit card or whatever and
then she
00:08:45
will call you sometime in the next two
years
00:08:48
you can tell mister analysis of their
brown that's her
00:08:52
you can tell right away
00:08:55
montel williams
00:08:56
is an intelligent man we all know who he
is on television
00:09:00
is well educated p smart
00:09:02
knows what sylvia brown is doing
00:09:04
but he doesn't get right back
00:09:06
he just
00:09:08
terror
00:09:10
because the bottom line is that sponsors
mother
00:09:13
and he will expose her
00:09:15
to tell the body and publicity all the
time don't want to sylvia brown debut
00:09:18
for that seven hundred dollars
00:09:20
teenager the names even guardian angel
specs for not but that help could we
00:09:24
possibly function
00:09:26
she gives you the names out previous
lives what who you were in previous life
00:09:32
dot
00:09:33
in turns out that the women
00:09:35
that she gives readings for were all
babylonian princesses or something like
00:09:39
that
00:09:40
at the men were all grecian warriors
fighting with adam m knob
00:09:45
nothing is ever said about
00:09:47
a fourteen-year-old black in the streets
of london
00:09:50
who died of consumption he isn't worth
bringing back
00:09:53
obviously and
00:09:55
the strange things folk you may have
noticed this too
00:09:57
you see these folks on television
00:10:00
they'd never call anybody back from hell
00:10:04
evermore
00:10:05
comes back from heaven but never from
hell
00:10:08
that they call back any of my friends
democrat and well that you see the storm
00:10:14
now sylvia brown is an exception
00:10:18
in section one way because the james
agee educational publishing five
00:10:21
foundation offers a one million dollar
price
00:10:24
and emotional bombs very simply
00:10:26
one by all you have to do is prove any
parallel colder supernatural adapter
00:10:30
power of any kind of improper observing
tradition it's very easy with a million
00:10:34
dollars
00:10:35
sylvia brown is an exception in that she
should be
00:10:38
only
00:10:39
professional psychic in the whole world
that is accepted our challenge
00:10:45
she did this on the larry king live show
on c_n_n_
00:10:48
six and after
00:10:50
it is not gall
00:10:51
and we haven't heard from reception
00:10:53
strange
00:10:54
she said it first of all but she didn't
know how to contact me popped
00:10:59
professionals like it or stated that if
they don't have to come
00:11:06
hydrologic may have noticed
00:11:08
well pretty well anyway
00:11:11
generation dot she says she doesn't want
to reach me
00:11:15
because i am i got this person
00:11:17
all the more reason to take a million
dollars when you think sylvia
00:11:21
of these people need to be stopped three
straight out
00:11:24
they need to be stopped because this is
a cruel farce we get people coming to
00:11:28
the foundation all the time
00:11:29
their ruined financially and emotionally
00:11:32
because they given their money and their
faith
00:11:34
did these people
00:11:36
now i popped some pills and i have to
explain that to you
00:11:40
uh... probably up
00:11:41
let's find out what that's all about
00:11:45
you've heard of it
00:11:46
it's an alternative form of healing
right
00:11:48
hawley obvi actually consists
00:11:50
and that's what this is basis m
00:11:52
act coms forty eight thirty two caplets
00:11:55
of sleeping pills i forgot to tell you
that
00:11:57
i guessed ingested
00:11:59
six-and-a-half days worth of sleeping
pills
00:12:05
six-and-a-half feet but certainly if
applicable to several about your
00:12:08
and case out overdose
00:12:10
contact you're putting control center
immediately and he gives an eight
00:12:13
hundred-number peter cease it's going to
be ok i don't really need it
00:12:18
because i've been doing this doctor
audiences all over the world a
00:12:23
for the last eight or ten years
00:12:25
state and federal laws appalling about
that
00:12:27
sleeping pills
00:12:28
why don't they effectively
00:12:36
may surprise you what is how we ought to
be it's taking up medicine that really
00:12:40
works
00:12:41
and doing it now
00:12:43
what we got problem dot grows well that
demanding it down to the point where
00:12:47
there is not about that last
00:12:51
now folks this is not just a map of
where i'm going to give you now it's
00:12:54
true
00:12:55
it's exactly equivalent to taking one of
three hundred and twenty five milligrams
00:13:00
aspirin tablet
00:13:01
throwing it in the middle of lake tahoe
00:13:04
and then started up obviously with a
very big stick
00:13:08
two years itself until the solutions
homogeneous
00:13:12
that when you get ahead a
00:13:13
you take a separatist water and walla
get his dog
00:13:20
castro
00:13:20
that islam homeopathy is all about at
another claim that they make you'll love
00:13:24
this one
00:13:25
the market the medicine as they say
00:13:28
the more powerful it is
00:13:30
now wait a minute
00:13:31
we heard about a guy in florida
department he was on homeopathic
00:13:35
medicine he died of an overdose
00:13:37
you forgot to take his bill
00:13:41
varada forgotten
00:13:45
history get respect
00:13:47
it is absolutely ridiculous
00:13:49
i don't know what we're doing believing
it all this nonsense over all these
00:13:52
years
00:13:54
let me tell you to get ready educational
foundation
00:13:57
is waiting this very big challenge
00:14:00
but i must say the fact
00:14:01
but nobody has taken a stop
00:14:03
on this opportunity mean that the powers
don't exist
00:14:07
someplace out there
00:14:09
maybe these people are just
independently wealthy woes of your
00:14:13
browser i would think so you know seven
hundred dollars for a twenty minute
00:14:16
reading over the telephone
00:14:18
that's more than lawyers right
00:14:21
i mean that's a fabulous a lot of money
00:14:23
these people don't need a million
dollars perhaps what would you think
00:14:27
they'd like to take it just to make me
look silly
00:14:31
just to get rid of this godbless person
out there that still be around talks
00:14:34
about all the time
00:14:36
i think that something needs to be done
about this we really would love to have
00:14:40
suggestions from you folks on how to
contact
00:14:43
federal stage and local authorities
didn't get them to do something
00:14:48
if you find out now i'd understand week
we've seen people even today speaking to
00:14:52
us about aids epidemic send and starting
kids around the world and impure water
00:14:58
supplies and people have to supper but
those are very important
00:15:02
critically important to us that we must
do something about those problems
00:15:07
but at the same time
00:15:08
as arthur c_ clark said you know they
they're running of the human mind
00:15:12
the business of believing in the
paranormal and the authority of the
00:15:16
supernatural all of this total ban
assisted this this may be able to
00:15:20
anything i think something should be
done about that and it all eyes in
00:15:24
education
00:15:25
largely it's the media
00:15:27
or to blame for their certificate they
shamelessly promote all kinds of
00:15:31
nonsense of this art
00:15:35
zoos the sponsors needs the bottom line
dollar line that's what they're looking
00:15:40
at
00:15:41
really must do something about this
00:15:44
i believe take your suggestions and i'm
what he had to
00:15:47
to our webpage
00:15:50
it's w_w_w_ dot randy dot o_ r_ g_
00:15:53
go in there and look at the archives
that you will begin to understand much
00:15:57
more of what i've been talking about
today
00:15:59
you will see the records that we have
there's nothing like sitting in that my
00:16:03
brain
00:16:04
and having a family appear there and say
that mom gave away all the family
00:16:08
fortune she cash in the cds she gave
away the start of the certificates
00:16:13
that's really sad to hear and it hasn't
help them one
00:16:18
we solve any of their problems
00:16:20
yes there could be a rough thing of the
american mine and a blind all the way
00:16:24
around the earth
00:16:25
if we don't start getting sensibly about
these things
00:16:29
now we've offered this carrot as i say
we don't need the carrot we waiting for
00:16:33
the psyches come forth and snap at what
we get lots of hundreds of them every
00:16:38
year come by user dowsers and people who
think that they can talk to the dead as
00:16:42
well but they're amateurs
00:16:44
they don't know how to evaluate their
own so-called power
00:16:48
the professionals
00:16:49
never come here s except in that case is
sylvia brown
00:16:53
but i told you about a moment ago
00:16:55
she did accept and then backed away
00:16:58
ladies and gentlemen
00:17:01
i am james randi
00:17:04
and i'm waiting
00:17:07
thank you
