No, not the John Travolta movie, although that was a pretty neat movie. I just saw a promo on TV for this new show. NBC.com Premieres Wednesday, October 24 8/7c New LIVE competition that will blow your mind! PHENOMENON Mystifier/artist Criss Angel ("Criss Angel MINDFREAK") and famed mentalist Uri Geller will host this mysterious live competition series in which they will conduct an intensive search for the next great mentalist. The series tests 10 hopeful mentalists who must compete each week to demonstrate a wide spectrum of mystifying talents for a panel of weekly celebrity guests and a studio audience. Geller and Angel will assess the contestants but ultimately the winner's fate will be determined by the viewers at home. In addition to voting, each episode will also contain an interactive component to engage the at home audience. In the television commercial they make it seem a lot more "mystical" than they do in the written description. I'm still trying to figure out if it's supposed to be a competition for people claiming to have paranormal abilities or if it's just for "mentalists". The TV segment I saw on it was a little misleading in that respect. Comments? Note: I plan to post this in various places.

a**l Jesus Wasn't Uri like horribly debunked one time and just stopped doing that s**t? All I know about Geller is that he's the guy that could allegedly bend spoons and erase data from diskettes from a distance. I seem to remember him dropping off the radar after some failed lab tests or something. Doesn't mean he didn't make a comeback as a "mentalist". xd

I heard it was something to do with his million dollar prize isn't in cash or check its in shares or something like that. Something that made the prize not really worth a million or something.

Mine is worthless, but I don't feel like flying to where ever he lives to probably just get debunked and thrown out.

I heard it was something to do with his million dollar prize isn't in cash or check its in shares or something like that. Something that made the prize not really worth a million or something. It's in bonds of unverifiable nature. When asked about it all you get is the generic "Take a trip to the James Randi Institute and it's all on file blah blah blah..." Some of us don't have the means to make a trek to verify a prize offered by a bunch of atheist assholes. If you read some of the responses the people that are "organizing" the tests or whatever make in the forums (as the public forums are the log they use for discussing parameters and such with applicants), it's really enough to make one note even want to bother. It's not like they'd acknowledge your validity even if you did win. It's a sham.
