This is a call out to all "psychics" and anyone claiming to have supernatural predicting powers.

I hearby challenge you all to a predict-off. We will make predictions on a future event which is mutually agreeable to both of us. I will use fact, information and statistics. You will use your "powers."

I am just an average slob with no special powers (Except an encyclopedic knowledge of professional wrestling circa 1990) or abilities. In fact, I'm not even a particularly good researcher, being as my job is to babysit criminals.

If you are able, after 25 predictions to get a much higher percentage correct, I will not only admit that you may, in fact, be a psychic, but I will paypal you 10000 yen.


Yes, TEN THOUSAND YEN. You could probably a "WORLDS GREATEST PSYCHIC" mug for that!

If I win, you must admit that you are not a psychic. That's it.

So, my clairvoyant friends, what say you?
 
Obviously, they were already aware of your upcoming challenge, and chose to ignore it.
I'd refer you to the "Psychic Friends Network", but their unforeseen bankruptcy disrupted their services.
 
How do you propose to prevent your opponents from basing their predictions on "fact, information and statistics?"
 
Gravy has a excellent question. Perhaps you should rethink your strategy.

That aside do you really think a real "psychic" would take this challenge to begin with? For what...$100 USD and the "fame" that comes from a basically anonymous person on a Internet Forum proclaiming they may be psychic?

Something involving gamma ray isolation chambers and reverse polarity magnetic fields.

I'll accept your challenge.

I will pedict 25 coin flips conducted by person whom we both agree to. We will each mail our predictions to a second person we both agree to. If I get more right than you, you send me 10,000 Yen or whatever that is in US money.
 
Where in your challange did you define "psychic", or would would count as being psychic?

I'll do it now.

To be a psychic you must have spend some time actually psychicing before on some level. Even forum postings don't count, unless I deem you've made lots and are therefore claiming to be a psychic.

Really, I'm just doing this for something to goad the occasional forum psychics with.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that LL still qualifies given the totally open nature of your definition.

Your venture seems doomed to fail.

I am not really sure that a ill-conceived attempt at goading/mocking psychic's will achieve any beneficial results. Not to mention, it seems somewhat intellectually dishonest.

I aver that I qualify. I gave psychic readings at the RenFaire the last two summers for as much as $100.00 per half hour. I have also performed as a psychic/mentalist at birthday parties and corporate events for the last several years. I believe that when I was young, I found an angel in my room. I called out to her and she got startled. She ruffled her wings and the feathers bushed against my eyes.

Since then, I have been able to see some events before they happen.

I accept your challenge.

You're trying to "to goad the occasional forum psychics." There is a million dollar challenge and you think your offer of 10,000 Yen will be noticed.
 
I can't help but notice that littlehulkser has not reponded, I'm guessing he/she has conceeded?

So you are you going to spend you $100 USD (ie. 10,000 yen) there LL?
 
I have a simpler test with a pracitcal value.
Tell me the winners of the Triple Crown,now.

I guess I'll spend about seven bucks of it converting it from yen and the rest on some noise-cancelation headphones.
 
I,ll give it a go. I predict Littlehulkster will now disappear

This reminds me of an excellent South Park episode called "Cartman's Great Gift" (or something similar). Cartman falls off a roof, goes into a comma, and the local police dept believes he now possesses psychological powers. He doesn't, but the psychic TV detectives at large come to his house to extort their share of his ill gotten gain. Hilarity ensues.

At one point Cartman stands in front of their group and all of them put their hands in front of their eyes and make noises like (bumbumbumbumbumb -- wawawawawa ---hehehehehe--- ahahahahaha--- woowoowoowoowoo) as they have their psychic battle that ends in a draw. (Nothing happens).

This is the wrong place to challenge psychics.

Senex, just to nit pick a tad, are you sure he fell into a "comma" and ended up with "psychological" powers?
