I believe James Randi has committed $1M of his own cash for anyone who can do anything that he (an admitted 'magician') cannot demonstrate to be trickery... he hasn't lost the money yet, at least 15 years on.

My favourite is the aliens enabling Geller with the amazing power to, er, bend spoons. LOL, there's a fine gag. Meanwhile every single controlled, scientific study on such phenomena showed the subjects to be cheating... and I gather Geller refuses to take part in such studies. bizarre.

As I said, I'd love for psi powers to exist. But all I've read indicates that what minimal traces seem to manifest are neither reliable nor useful...
