Why are all the tests proven false? Couldn't someone skilled enough win easy $1,000,000? And, wouldn't psychokinesis be the easiest way to impress him? I think moving pencils and levitating paper would do the trick. There's something strange. 42 years and no one won the f****** prize (no one have even passed through the preliminary test). I don't want to get into this, but lots of people say we 'psipogers' have mental disorders or something (I'm not judging anyone, i know you are all "normal" people, and have no interest of dealing with bad skepticals). But... one million is too much. I ask again... why is no one interested??? EDIT: ok I read the replies thanks and sorry. I missed the damn search button ._.

It's all a bunch of BS, dont waste your time..if you want to prove something, prove it scientfically

But to make a long story short, he can manipulate the rules anyway he wants, you have to give up any legal rights to the research(i.e. if you DO prove it real, they can destroy the evidence and proclaim you a fraud), he asks for a 100% rate of sucess(hell, even COMPUTERS don't get everything right 100% of the time), he either ignores people who sign up for the contest or twists their words around, and the reality of the money is questionable. Not to mention that if you do prove psionics real, any celebrity you can think of will have NOTHING on you in the papparazzi(sp?) and stalker(/religious nuts) department.
