Celebrity Psychics Can Claim $1M If Their Powers Are Real

The James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) is so convinced clairvoyants are a scam that the non-profit group is offering a $US1 million dollar prize to any celebrity psychic who can prove his or her power is real.

It won’t be an easy challenge to win. Psychics meet with random strangers, so there’s no opportunity to google their subjects. Cold reading techniques that fish around for answers using vague questions is also banned.
