Psychic 'Eyes' $50,000 Prize

[quantumparanormal]

Hollywood skeptics to determine if applicant can "see" inside the human body.

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2009 -- The Independent Investigations Group - L.A.'s premiere skeptical organization - has been challenging would be psychics by offering them $50,000 cash if they can prove their abilities. Now, Anita Ikonen - a 26-year-old student from University of North Carolina at Charlotte - claims she can see inside the human body without the aid of an MRI or X-Ray machine. During this preliminary demonstration Ms. Ikonen will be presented with multiple human test subjects and asked to identify those who are missing internal organs. If she is successful Anita will move on to the formal test for the IIG's "$50,000 Challenge," and potentially go for a one million dollar prize offered by the godfather of skepticism - James Randi. The demonstration will be conducted at the offices of the Center for Inquiry in Hollywood on November 21, 2009.

Over at JREF they state that the protocol for testing will not be published before the testing. That's an interesting change. Usually, the testing protocol is well known to all before the test is performed.

Here is a link to a forum where Anita is posting:

I feel the same way manic rabbit. When those making extraordinary claims are willing to be tested it just might result in learning something interesting.

The test results are in - Anita failed during here testing in LA today. That's OK. She was willing to do a test. She tested and the results showed she was not able to see kidneys in people. I have to give Anita three cheers for being tested. Unlike the charlatans out there that make claims and refuse to be tested Anita had the moxie to be tested. I commend that.

If you are interesting, the Anita trial it has been posted online at:



I have not watched these videos other than to see that they work.

Like I said in the other thread ...

People who undergo these tests should have reasonable evidence already before they even get tested like this. Just because someone claims they can see through a human body doesn't mean you should test them based on the claim alone. That's a waste of time.

If the individual had a series of reliable documented testimonies from a BUNCH of level-headed no nonsense individuals who had her look through them, and she was accurate, that would be something more sufficient to have the test go through with than someone who just makes a claim without any backing that they can do such a thing, or just a single purported event.

I'm not convinced at all that this person could do what they said they could. One alleged story of her doing it, one, and nothing else except that? Silly.
