MILLION DOLLAR PSYCHIC LOOPHOLE

If you’ve been itching to get a shot at James Randi’s million bucks in his infamous psychic challenge you better hurry because the doors are closing on unknown delusional nutcases who hope to part the old man from his money. According to a post at Randi.org the rules will change on April 1st and people with supernatural powers will need to bring the backing of the media and academia before they will be tested. According to Jeff Wagg, who administers the challenge, the new rules are being implemented because “we can’t waste the hundreds of hours that we spend every year on the nutcases out there — people who say they can fly by flapping their arms.” With all that time saved, Randi’s Foundation is planning a public-shaming initiative to help bring down high-profile psychics such as John Edward and Sylvia Browne.
