1204 days since James Randi could have proven paranormal |
http://www.skeptics.com.au/features/challenge.htm
Briefly, this is what you have to do. You first apply in writing, clearly stating what you are
claiming to be able to do.

My name is xxx xxx, I would like to demonstrate a
paranormal ability being able to guess peoples names

Any charge of our backing down is blatantly untrue and neither Mr Puffet nor
A Current Affair has any reason to suppose otherwise.
impression that Australian Skeptics (AS) had "backed-down" from testing
That impression, fostered by ACA both in its advertising and on air, is wrong

They have good reasons, I'm sure. I'll go along with their decision.

Can someone else than Australia Skeptics do the preliminary test?
They refused to test me.
Thanks

You'd just be required to specify this. Let's say that you can
influence a random number generator so that it comes up with 1001 ones
for every 1000 zeroes (when it the numbers are normally equal). If you
can do this consistantly, then we just calculate how many times you need
to do it to come up with odds of a million to one, and you're in.
If it's that easy I would think that Herc could win.

Do you know if he is living in Townsville?
I've been hearing stuff, yeah.
How long will it be until the skeptics put their money where their mouth is?

Your continuing use of email, fax and registered mail to make your
incomprehensible claims of having paranormal abilities is wasting my time
and your money.
I told you on the occasion you phoned me that if you seek to be tested by
the Skeptics you must write down, clearly and in detail, what it is you
claim to be able to do. You must understand what these details are, given
that you downloaded them from our web site and forwarded them to me. You
have failed to do this. All you have done is to send us copies of totally
irrelevant nonsense you have written on the internet. Further, you failed
utterly to respond to the simple preliminary test I offered, preferring to
reply with even more irrelevant postings.
You have made no testable claim to Australian Skeptics and there will be no
further communication from us. Your use of assumed names and email
addresses, and the pretense of being one of my colleagues, will not work,
nor will your threats that we will have to "face the consequences".
