James Randi and an Astrologer

Posted by carl on Oct 30, 2010

A prominent astrologer attempts an astrological reading of actor Hugh Laurie and fails. From episode 2 of ‘James Randi – Psychic Investigator’ (1991) Note: the soundtrack is a little rough near the start due to problems in the original broadcast * Since this video was originally posted nearly two years ago, comments along the lines of ‘OMG it’s House!’, ‘that’s the guy from HOUSE!’, ‘hey that’s HOUSE!!!’ have been mindlessly posted over 200 times by people who did not bother to read either the information here or the annotations, both of which specifically asked viewers not to do this. Despite every effort made to prevent it, they continued to flood in at some 15-20 a week, effectively clogging up the comments area and hindering any serious discussion. Consequently, comments to this video are now permanently disabled. *

Derren Brown Astrology

Posted by carl on Oct 9, 2008

Derren Brown gives readings via “astrology.” From “Trick of the Mind,” S03E01.

Astrology relies heavily on the Barnum and Forer effect, which are statements that can apply to anybody.

Click links below for more information on those effects.

Of course, the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) will pay anyone $1,000,000 for a successful demonstration of paranormal phenomenon under proper observing conditions:

No astrolgers, or crackpots alike, have ever claimed the $1,000,000 prize. Suprise?
