well...
there´s is an ethics line
Teller (from penn and teller) calls them talentless scumbags
and i certainly agree..
when you are not good enought to be an entertaining performer.. you go and said you have real powers, paranormal or psychic powers.
this is a wrong thing to do, remember as a magician there´s ways to trick people, you can get information no other psychic could get and then use it in your favor.. if you do this as an effect saying you are a magician or mentalist.. i see no problem.. if you do this saying you are a psychic.. i do have a problem..
I dont remember the Psychic Entertainer author that mentions he even does ¨lectures by phone¨... which is just voulturing people.. i dont think is entertainment.. i think is being a leech.
and about the professor being a crappy magician..
i have seen his predictions many times posted on the magiccafe.. and i certainly was dissapointed because he ALWAYS waits until the event passes to said he predicted it the event (is like a magician saying.. think of a card.. then saying.. ok.. wait.. going to another room and coming back with a ¨sealed¨ envelope with that card) , i qualify that as a fail. then in another video he pulls out a gem of mentalism, a 90dollar book, describes the content and then calls it by the title ( witches almanac) before going and saying he is going to make a prediction.. this was a huuuuuuuuge erreur, is like going into a card routine and let them seeing you using a trick cards.. it just simply lame magic

Re: Two Predictions that have come TRUE!!!!
Very well put sir. The Penn & Teller quote sums it up quite nicely.

Re: Two Predictions that have come TRUE!!!!
hahahaha
dont get mad wu when you have guys exposing their point of view their show is biased and they have said it they expose their naturalistic point of view of the world they also go after taxes, organic food, gandhi.. is not all paranormal the last show of penn and teller they have said it will be a show about the bullshit of bullshit (since they have failed in some topics) but common.. a lot of the folks talking about paranormal are just quacks did you see the one in cryptozoology? see how easy it was to fool the cryptos with that bigfoot footage?.. a lot of the topics on paranormal go like that, sorry if they reminded you that when paranormal stops beings paranormal it will become a science right? but right now is filled with opportunists, scam artists, bad science and a lot of naive people. i do agree there are a lot of stuff that is unexplained and i like those topics, but i hardly see it as science For every person who reads this valuable book there are hundreds of naïve souls who would prefer to have their spines tingled by a sensational but worthless potboiler by some hack journalist of the paranormal.

Re: Two Predictions that have come TRUE!!!!
One of my favorite radios was the Jan 1 show where the radio hosts took the previous year's tabloids and reviewed the predictions they made. Despite using mostly predictions of the type the professor makes the predictions were wrong more than half the time!

Re: Two Predictions that have come TRUE!!!!
Why don't you tell us the predictions are because I forgot.
1. Tell us the prediction in full. 2. When you made it. 3. How we can verify that you made the prediction at that time. 4. When the prediction came true. 5. How we can verify the prediction. Scimitars were not available - beware January 19, 2038 is upon us.
