Some people can't believe that magicians can fool them in ways they can't understand.
But the magician can, and the magician does.
No matter how smart you are or how well educated you are.
You will be deceived.
Magicians are also the most honest people in the world.
They tell you that they are going to fool you, and then they do it.
However, the deceivers and the old man are also fooling you, and the deception and deception do not tell you.
They are not magicians, but hateful impostors.
Today Xiaobian brings you a documentary full of legendary color——
The Master of Lies
An Honest Liar
The protagonist of the documentary is the world-famous professional magician James. Randy.
James. Randy was influenced by the magic master Houdini to love magic since childhood.
For the first half of his life he was a performer, a magician.
For the rest of his life, Randy had been declaring war on the so-called mediums.
Because he hates anyone who uses magic tricks for non-recreational purposes.
Randy has published a book, The Faith Healer.
He has been investigating psychics and paranormal phenomena, discovering and debunking them.
As for some scammers who call themselves "psychic mediums", Xiaobian feels that the four words of "pretending to be a god and making a ghost" are most suitable.
But there are always people who believe that there is something supernatural going on in front of them, and this group of people are faithful poor blinded patients.
Randy admits that "it's all disgusting".
Sometimes, even in order to debunk the psychic's lies, Randy needs to play a big game of chess to prove the scam with a scam.
There is no problem in fooling people.
As long as you're doing this to teach them a lesson and give them a better understanding of how the real world works.
Through the program videos preserved in previous years, the documentary mentions several psychic incidents that randy revealed the truth.
It will be a holy war to try to change the world.
—Han Trik, who claims to be able to move objects with psychic powers.
With a gentle lift of the arm, the pages of the book are turned. With a flick of the finger, the pencil rotates.
Han trik belongs to the early psychic con artists who claimed to be able to move objects with psychic powers.
Han Trik is on TV, as if as long as he is on TV, people will subconsciously think that this is true.
But in the eyes of the magical Randy, this is a trivial trick.
Randy and Han Trik are on the same show and are littered with shredded paper scraps on the table, pointing out that Han Trik has simply deceived the public with a blow-off trick.
Sure enough, Han Trik could no longer control the movement of objects with his mind, and all the lies were self-defeating.
2. Psychic surgeon
In the face of Randy's debunking of the paranormal, someone always questions " Who is this hindering?" Why do you care so much about these things? ”
However, the truth is that some psychics have used the weaknesses of human nature to come up with bad ideas.
And these bad ideas can cause you serious harm or death.
Medium surgeons, who worked with their bare hands, claimed to have removed the tumor without leaving a trace.
When blood-stained malignant tissue appeared in front of them, many people chose to believe it.
Only Randy tells everyone that this is just a prop that can be bought using the magic shop for 75 cents.
His intention is to tell you that something is not true.
His intention is to broaden your horizons and make you question them with a scientific perspective.
Third, the Carlos scam
Some claimed that they could reach ancient souls, hundreds or even tens of thousands of years ago.
They would speak in a funny voice, and the language would look so realistic that so many people would believe these things.
They are very popular and hold speeches for sky-high entrance fees.
You can't confirm that someone claimed to be possessed by a soul from forty thousand years ago, because that in itself is a false claim.
So, to break the absurdity, Randy created a psychic.
Posing as the psychic is Randy's partner Jose. Avarez.
They were well prepared, media packing for Jose, fictional newspapers and magazines, fictional theater speeches.
For two and a half days, they were on eight TV talk shows.
When Jose was believed to be a psychic, they admitted that it was all an elaborate lie.
In an instant, the media was in an uproar.
The Carlos scam tells everyone that the media will only fall into these attractive performances, and they will not be careful to verify whether things are true or not.
IV. Uli. Geller — he denies he's a magician.
Uli. Geller was noticed by the Stanford Institute for his superpowers, and even scientists there were convinced that he had supernatural powers.
He claims that he not only has telepathic abilities, but can accept and communicate ideas. It also has the power to move or bend or destroy objects over the air, which he calls "mindfulness."
He created the "Mind Bending Spoon", and all the audience were stunned and amazed.
He pinpointed the one with the steel balls from ten identical aluminum cans, and he guessed exactly the number of points for the dice.
After a series of magical operations, he passed many tests and finally gained the trust of Stanford scientists.
But is there really such a superpower?
In Randy's mouth, that's bullshit!
To debunk Uli. Geller's ruse, Randy follows Uli. Geller's pace, Uli. Geller performs superpowers every time he goes on a show. Randy just went on the show and did the same thing.
When Randy et al. thought Uli. Geller's ghost trick was so finished that they realized they were wrong.
Uli. Geller began to speak sophistry.
He said he had performed all the performances with his superpowers and passed the test of the Stanford Institute scientists. And although Randy did the same performance, Randy was a magician.
Uli. For a moment, Geller's advocates began to question Randy, believing in the existence of superpowers and believing that Randy was a lunatic.
Standing on the cusp of the storm, Randy launched a new plan to make people fully aware.
Randy picked out two trusted young men and decided to debunk the lie again.
Randy meticulously arranged everything and successfully sent the two young men to the Stanford Institute with the so-called "mind power".
The truth will be late but never absent.
The two young men successfully passed all the tests of the scientists, and they were both magicians in Randy's hands.
When the truth was made public by the reporter, the flash kept flashing, and the people in the audience were shocked and dropped their jaws one by one.
As Randy says, no matter how smart or well educated you are, you're going to be cheated.
The truth is, people really believe in this nonsense.
Telepathy can be said to be a deal with the devil, which has incredible allure.
Some people will worship you because of this power, which is very tempting.
But the truth tells us that there are only two kinds of people who can do this, liars or magicians.
As a magician, you don't have that kind of influence and ability.
But the moment you deny that you're a magician, you get that superpower.
Randy felt the strength and gave it up. Beyond the power, it was Randy's anger.
But Randi Wanwan did not expect that he had exposed the deception, but he could not cure people's ignorance.
Maybe true or false is really difficult for us ordinary people to distinguish.
But this society will not have good things once and for all, nor will there be so-called divine blessings.
Xiaobian feels that scientism is far more real than sustenance, and hopes that everyone can live a real life.
Finally, here's a tribute to James. Randy, a legend.
