Man Offers $1,000,000 Paranormal Challenge by mkmyers45(m): 4:13pm On Sep 28, 2012
James Randi, a.k.a. The Amazing Randi, magician and author of numerous works skeptical of paranormal, supernatural, and pseudoscientific claims has for about ten years offered "a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence
of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power." His rules were little more than what any reasonable scientist would require. If you are a mental spoon bender, you couldn't use your own spoons. If you claimed
to see auras, you'd have to do so under controlled conditions. If you claimed to be able to do remote viewing, you wouldn't be given credit for coming close in some vague way.
If you were going to demonstrate dowsing powers, you would have to be prepared to be tested under
controlled conditions. If you were
going to do psychic surgery or experience the stigmata, you would have to do so with cameras watching
Others Offering Prize
There are others offering prizes to
anyone who can demonstrate psychic powers. After collecting the million dollars from Randi, successful psychics might go to India and contact B. Premanand who will pay Rs. 100,000 "to any person or persons who will
demonstrate any psychic,
supernatural of paranormal ability of any kind under satisfactory observing conditions." Also, "Prabir Ghosh will pay Rs. 20,00,000* to anyone who claims to possess supernatural power
of any kind and proves the same
without resorting to any trick in the location specified by Prabir Ghosh." The Australian Skeptics offer $100,000 (Australian), $80,000 for the psychic
and $20,000 for anyone "who
nominates a person who successfully completes the Australian Skeptics
Challenge." If you nominate yourself, and are successful, you get the whole hundred grand. The Association for Skeptical Inquiry (ASKE) , a U.K. skeptic organization, offers £12,000 for proof of psychic
powers. The Independent Investigations Group "offers a $50,000 prize to anyone who can show, under proper
observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event." The North Texas Skeptics offer $12,000 to any person who can
demonstrate any psychic or
paranormal power or ability under scientifically valid observing conditions. The Quebec Skeptics offer $10,000 to any astrologer who can demonstrate
her craft according in a formal
scientific experiment. The Tampa Bay Skeptics offer $1,000 to anyone able to demonstrate any
paranormal phenomenon under
mutually agreed-upon observing
conditions. A group in New Zealand calling itself "Immortality" is offering a prize of $NZ2,000,000 to anyone "who can
display an actual paranormal ability, under controlled conditions." One million goes to the successful applicant and one million to the charity of his or her choice. Finally, conjurer Chris Angel offered $1,000,000 of his own money to Uri Geller and Jim Callahan if they could psychically determine the contents of
an envelope he held in his hand. The offer was in response to Callahan's claim that his performance of a trick on a TV show called "Phenomenon" was aided by spirit guide.

But what happened to all our Babalawos in Africa? Guess they didn't hear about the money?

satan does not appear in public or publicly, if he does he will inevitably prove the existance of God.

If you try him behind closed doors you are on you own.

People dont know that he and his demons are very tricky.

Those offering the prize money seems to know the rules.

Chris Angel's bet is a double trick since he is sure to change the content of the envelop in his hands ones it is gotten.

^^^That's the greatest trick the devil ever played 'that he doesn't exist' . When you are spiritually blind, you would believe it or keep searching for scientic proofs for magics in public & would never find it! grin grin
