Uri Geller has lost a lawsuit, so James Randi can continue broadcasting this nice little movie - I already destroyed two spoons, but now I know the trick. Quarrelling magicians, I love them.
Quote:Of course Uri is a fake and is really a magician too. But the argument is deeper than that as Uri claims and his admirers think that he has paranormal powers.True; and that's what makes the Amazing Randy's work so important. I used to reach his articles in Skeptic Magazine. It is shocking how people like to ignore basic rules of evidence - and that includes scholars and scientists, unfortunately.

Quote:It is shocking how people like to ignore basic rules of evidence - and that includes scholars and scientists, unfortunately.well, truly sad indeed and I go absolutely with Carl Sagan who put it once this way:
Quote:what I don't understand about him, is this paranormal thing. he could be recognised as a great magician, if he wouldn't simply cheat his audience and say its all tricks as other successfull magicians do. :?I think he is not such a great magician. Randi explains the tricks, and they are really simple; I tried the spoon trick, which I mastered pretty soon, although two spoons broke. And I attempted the drawing trick with the mirror yesterday in the pub, after I had been to the Dark Knight. It was an easy success, partly because my victim - well, she had drunk three or four beers.
Quote:wow, Jona. Why don't you simply accept you ARE paranormal, too? :lol:Tiberius Clodius Corvinus:1c9blf8z Wrote:what I don't understand about him, is this paranormal thing. he could be recognised as a great magician, if he wouldn't simply cheat his audience and say its all tricks as other successfull magicians do. :?I think he is not such a great magician.
