Wow... just wow...
I'll say that was a very impressive trick he used there, which was stunningly and instantly revealed by a short man, which I think is Santa. For the rest of this little clip the poor guy stumbles around a pretty simple protocol, drops some pages trying to say static cling is stopping him (which don't seem all that clingy to me) and then just sorta claims the test itself stopped him. Wish I could say I was surprised...
Dang it, will the real psychic please stand up?

I think the test was administered by a panel the clearly new nothing about physic phenomenon, there appeared to me to be some actual static cling in effect. People expect all physics to be Yoda and move whole ships out of mud puddles with there mind. Clearly moving the paper without the static cling took all his concentration.
To say that the AC was responsible for moving a page that clearly was not moving before is absurd.
All they did was embarrass a man on national TV who may or may not have had physic powers, the test proved nothing.

Psychics don't exist.

Oh please, don't be silly. The man agreed to the test beforehand and failed. That's all there is to it. And, not AC, he said he BLEW on the page. Easy trick to do.
Is it just me or is it odd that etoven here thinks that a man blowing a page is more absurd than him usin g frickin' psychic power to do it. And that other guy actually DID THE SAME THING to the pen the guy did!
Here's the kicker. Years after that show, the guy on it admitted to his being a phony. Also, that panel, as is always done in these challenges, was selected and agreed on by both parties before the test.
But, those who profess belief in psychic abilities, despite any evidence for such powers, will always offer up excuses for why it didn't work when they are finally put to the test. It was ever thus...
