Last night, I was watching the NBC show Phenomenon, which is about finding the next great mentalist. I’ve been fairly unimpressed myself since I’ve seen others do the same tricks and they fully admit there’s nothing supernatural about it. Anyway, after the person’s “performance” they get judged by Criss Angel and Uri Geller (who’s been busted as a fraud years ago, just do a YouTube search).
So this magician named Jim Callahan did a trick to channel a dead spirit on live television last night. Criss was totally impressed and challenged the guy to read the contents of an envelope he had seal in his pocket. Criss said he’d pay 1 million dollars to either Jim or Uri if they could do it. That’s the same deal the famous skeptic James Randi has had for years.
Then Jim Callahan got all pissed and started yelling at Criss Angel saying he was an “ideological bigot” and got in his face. After that a magic fight almost broke out on All Hallow’s Eve during the live show. The door to the underworld would have been opened, letting demons into our realm to consume all of our souls.
Thankfully Criss Angel didn’t let that happen. Watch the video after the jump.
