    Derren is following in the footsteps of the great J. Randi.

    Cheers for that mate. Had an argument a while back about Geller being a fraud. They said that because I didn't know how he did it then it proves he can bend spoons with his mind. The only argument I had at the time was that if someone could bend steel with their minds then surely they would be doing something more interesting like warping the Eiffel Tower rather than bending a spoon.

    Time to destroy the cutlery.

    They make good points. Showmanship and charaltens are not real or if they did have real experiences, they can not reproduce them. That much is clear. However, this does not disprove psychic abilities.

    Skip to two minutes in. Watch the whole thing if you want it's good stuff, but what I want to show you all is two minutes in. There are other examples in the video further up as well.

    I might have posted this vid before or on another board. A video doesn't prove he has these powers no more than a video showing UFOs proves that there are spaceships zooming around our planet. The lure of something amazing happening often shuts down peoples reasoning abilities.

    Again this is not proof of anything other than it is a video on youtube... there is a moving hand... there is something moving etc. Here is a link to a torrent of a show by Derren Brown. It was aired quite recently in the UK on Channel Four. Some of the tricks are astounding and could lead some people to derive that he has indeed some supernatural powers. He hasn't. It's a trick.

    While it is true that those videos are not definitive proof, it still raises questions.

    Regarding UFO's, there is more evidence to suggest they are real then are not. I could show you youtube videos of high ranking officials admitting they are real, but someone would just say they are actors or something. Eh, what are you going to do? Best not to argue.

    I'm agnostic. I deal in probabilities. Now there may be more positive proof than negative. I don't know. I've not seen much of it. I may say they are actors and I may say they are not but they are telling you what you want to hear or they are telling the truth or they may have not looked at all the evidence or they may be a collective hallucination or my be something else. I don't know.

    The probability of life on other planets has a good chance of being right given the size of the observable universe. A vastly more intelligent race of beings may be with us right now and the odds of that are more vague. The probability of winning the UK lotto jackpot is around 13 million to one. People still win it but not many. There are weeks when no one wins it.

    Beliefs are all the same in one respect that they require evidence to maintain them. However with beliefs the evidence is not always full or is simply an illusion and at times new information is disregarded so that their illusions aren't shattered. Maggie Fox started the spiritualist movement by conning people. She finally confessed but by then the movement was a creating a lot of money. She was shouted down by her peers. Did the hard core believers stop believing? Well I know you know the answer to that.
