Beyond him reaching for his lawyers at the drop of a hat, beyond his ignoring any psychic abilities until he realizes he's on camera, at which point he seems to go directly into his commercial mode, there's the fact that every study that's been done has shown no harmful effects from tellular cellephones. I mean it's microwaves we're talking about here. At most a lot of them focused in one place will heat things up, but the light rays at that low energy aren't sufficient to break up the bonds of DNA. You need something a bit into ultraviolet before it has sufficient energy to start doing that, hence if you start seeing x-ray based telecommunications devices springing up, then you should worry.
Anyway, I found it funny. I hear he's doing some special with Chris Angel (noted skeptic of psychic powers, as most magicians seem to be), which really just gets my head scratching. I just keep wondering if it's some elaborate version of "Punk'd"...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
