The James Randi 1 Million Dollar Challenge Finally Terminated


The James Randi 1 Million Dollar Challenge Finally Terminated
The James Randi Million Dollar Challenge for proof of psychic phenomena has been terminated. The JREF page indicates that it is no longer accepting applications from the general public (celebrity psychics still welcome with TV crew). The foundation is going to be converted into a grant-making fund, however a review of the protocols will be done next year when the application process may be reinstated. Even if the James Randi Prize is permanently terminated, I don’t need to be psychic to know that skeptics will continue to use it as a club to beat up believers for the foreseeable future.

There were at least three lawsuits filed against Randi in which the evidence he asked for was supplied, but he refused to pay up.

This doesn't surprise me at all but thanks for confirming my opinion of the man.

I share your opinions on Randi. This offer was always a gimmick to self promote. He never intended on paying up. He is a total wast of time to listen to
