Jim, since your spirit-world connections have failed to fill you in (what are they good for then?), here's why:
For one million dollars, with which you could do whatever you want: invest it, spend it, donate it to charities.
For worldwide fame.
For the great additional income that fame would bring, with which you could do whatever you want: invest it, spend it, donate it to charities.
Please explain why you, a professional performer, do not want this fame and fortune.
If you weren't looking for validation from others, why did you
compete to be known as "the next great mentalist" on "Phenomenon" (which, IIRC, did involve you "running around" a bit)?
So you're not a psychic, but you claim that without trickery you do what psychics do.
Please explain this contradiction, Jim. Exactly how are you not a psychic?
Excuse me? You claim to have truly paranormal abilities that are not magic tricks. You claim to be able to
communicate with the dead! And you don't want me to get "carried away" by that? Jim, this is
huge! You may have an ability that's unique in the universe! A whole new world of learning depends on you! And you don't want us to get excited about that? It's only entertainment? You're not interested in contributing to the understanding of this remarkable phenomenon? Really?
But wait, what's this?
All right, then. On your website you say:
"I am also a Master Magician and because of that I draw a strong distinction between my work as a Paranormalist and a Magician."
Great! Then you understand why the JREF, in offering a milion dollars to anyone who can demonstrate paranormal ability, needs to draw the "strong distinction" between that and magic tricks. You do understand that, right, Jim? That it would be wrong of you, against the JREF challenge rules, and a felony, to attempt to defraud someone of a milliion dollars?
A person of ability and integrity would
welcome measures to insure against cheating. Are you a person of ability and integrity, Jim?
Time to crap or get off the pot. Prove it.
