Merged Jim Callahan's MDC claim

Jim Callahan, since according to the display you are still online in this subforum, will you properly submit a claim for the MDC?

You should be able to fit in a no or yes answer between "talking on the phone or waiting for video renders", shouldn't you?



P.S.: To whom it may concern, it is considered bad netiquette to edit a post without acknowledging it.

Ok you have my attention Jeff.
Please offer up the test and I will consider it.

This was a thread I had decided to stay out of but your comment poked at my curiosity and now I am in.

We have been doing tests for the past couple of years and would welcome your input on this.

Bolding mine.
Well? Waiting Jim.

said you could test my claim now you run and hide?
If you were just blowing smoke up Daves backside say so.
I understand you have to protect the cash and will do anything to protect it and what you think is right.

If you were posting true please do tell us all how it is you would test me.

Jeff I would have not even entered into this but you brought me up and some sort of claim so
please be honest and offer up how you would test me.

Personally I think you are no more honest intellectually Randi.

But I am sure you find me a bit less than perfect yourself.

However I am sure many are wondering why you made the comment and now that you have my attention you run.

Sorry if this might read pointed for it is not.
I just think people should be honest in the things they post.

I'll go back to my Gin now.

Best Wishes,

So I assume from Mr Callahan's response that he has no intention of making a claim at this time. Might as well close this thread, and concentrate on TP's non-application until Mr Callahan decides to make an application.

Until Mr Callahan decides to make a non-application. I just hope he doesn't include some arbitrary date for his non-claim.

Sorry man I am working my way through the other post first.

The guy went to allot of trouble to offer it and I feel that I should take care of it first.

Thanks,

Hi Jim Callahan,



I am forwarding you this post just in case you missed it. According to the display at the bottom of each subforum, you have been online here during this evening (GMT+1) at least five seperate times.

Perhaps you will find the time to post in the thread opened for you?

Thank you for your continued interest.

The post I referred to was Jeff Wagg's last post in this thread.

Yes I am pretty busy right now and I check this forum and the Magic Cafe when talking on the phone or waiting for video renders.

As those who frequent the Cafe can attest I have posted very little there either.

I think it would be rude to start into a discussion that I cannot keep up with as a poster.

Currently I am working on a rather complicate presentation for October 31st that has in part something to do with the test Jeff mentions.

But as I said I just cannot commit the time to posting as I think would be appropriate at this time.

Thanks for understanding.

Best Wishes,

Jim

No, and just so you do know I leave both forums up on my monitor.

The reason for my Challenge is quite good.

Thanks for taking such an interst in what I am looking at and my wife is looking at.

Do you do anything with your life is so what is it?
Only asking becouse so few of you guys fill out your profile info.
Y'all know who I am and I find it strange those looking for truth and information are so timid in saying who and what they are.

PS. No spell check used becouse I could care less and to quote Mark Twain. "It is a small mind indead that can think of only one way to spell a word"
Love that quote just for the kiss my backside edge to it.

So no apology will be forthcoming to Jeff then?

Can JREF now shout loud insults about you running away and hiding from the Million Dollar Challenge?

Cheers.
 
Jim,
Thanks for acknowledging this thread.

I would like to point out (to everyone) that threads in this forum section do not tend to drop off the front page very fast at all. Therefore, I expect that the thread will be easily found once Mr Callahan is ready to return, in his own time.

I don't see anything useful or productive about badgering him to respond immediately every minute he's on this forum. Please, let's not waste bandwidth with impatience, etc. The thread is here, and either Mr Callahan will post to discuss his claim if and when he's ready, or he will not.

Let's all just step back a bit. I would hate to see this section become too intimidating for potential applicants to consider joining us. You'd do yourselves a great disservice in that case. After all .... at some point, should someone ever win the MDC, you will all be part of that history making moment. Why not make your advice and comments something to be proud of in that event?
 
Jeff Wagg said:
I'll state this again for this thread.

If Jim Callahan can perform as he did on Phenomenon, under proper observing conditions, he would win the million.

As for his claim, he claims to be in communication with an entity by the name of Raymond Hill, who can see inside sealed objects. At least that's my take on what I saw on Phenomenon. I'm hoping Jim will clarify further, or correct me if I'm wrong.

But first, he must apply.

My challenge is the same one that is on my website to Randi.
Raymond Hill would have nothing to do with it.

If you are going to try look smart do it right.
"It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word. ..."

Your backside not getting quite the attention on that one then.

Thank you for establishing that when you talk about a "Challenge" being negotiated with JREF, you are referring only to the Challenge you created, not the MDC.

If this has nothing to do with the MDC, imho it should be moved.

Having read that page your ability as you claim it would constitute "paranormal" under the MDC rules (as confirmed by Jeff Wragg).

Similarly the protocol required to demonstrate it would be so simple to produce that even I could do it. One thing I would add for your corner would be to have an independent observer at the location where the sealed vessel (a safe?) is. I would have them observe the object in situ and have them sign a document describing it and seal that in with the object.

That way you can be sure that there has not been any sleight of hand on JREF's part when the object is revealed at the end of your demonstration.

Oh, and I guess it's also a protection for JREF against accusations that they changed the object out if you were to fail.

Just an extra safeguard for your protocol.

Raymond Hill is an "entity" who Jim Callahan claims can communicate with him. It's a supernatural claim. One that could easily be tested, in fact, should Jim ever decide to apply.

Care to explain Jim :confused:
 
hmmm...

Jim, if you are not intending to take Randi's Million Dollar Challenge, can you please clarify that here please? It seemed from the thread where this discussion originated (partially quoted above) that you intended to take up the offer of being tested for the MDC. If that's not your intent, this thread belongs in a different forum section.
Thanks.

I agree with you Chillzero, Jeff had brought it up and I wanted to know what he was thinking.
(Was surprised it became a separate thread.)

Now I have found out that he watched a performance done as 'entertainment' on a television show and based his idea for testing me upon that.

I find that somewhat unusual but stranger things have happened.

Once again I agree the thread should be moved.

Best Wishes,

Jim
 
Can I be clear here first... you are not placing a claim on the Million Dollar Challenge?

Thanks.
