Skeptics Society Awards Ceremony and the Dumbth Awards with Randy Cassingham, Dumbth News columnist for Skeptic, author of This is True books and syndicated column. This is a practical, multi-media workshop that allows participants to examine the best evidence for these claims and then develop methods to test them. A nationally televised program with clenched fists and a forceful expression, a psychic appears to make a pencil spin with just his mind.
Children seem to be able to see pictures, text, and even symbols with only their fingers.
Throughout hospitals in the USA nurses claim to be able to not only detect but to manipulate powerful human energy fields with their hands. By the end of the seminar, even participants with no formal scientific training will be capable of conducting proper examinations of psychic claims and arriving at decisions that are authoritative and valuable. How you can establish proper, adequate controls without elaborate equipment or facilities. How you can judge whether people are being deceptive or whether they are really deceiving themselves. Dowsers say they can detect objects or substances by means of a forked stick, a pendulum, a pair of stiff wires, or some other magic wand that moves in response to a mysterious force.
