    "Randi's offer stood for decades with many applicants (as with the Australian Skeptic Society offer, including several other org's) water diviners, psychics, etc, willing to put their claimed ability to the test. You can watch the video's. None managed to demonstrate anything above statistical probability...where in their own practice the hits are remembered and the misses forgotten. If there is real ability there, it shouldn't be a problem. A carpenter can demonstrate their skill, a mechanic, an artist, doctor, dentist, nurse....but psychics, not so much. In fact nothing has been proven. "

    Are you suggesting that the existence of such phenomena is determined by the "Randi's $$$ offer." ?

    $$$.
    Is that what you imagine would convince genuine adepts, where existence of such facilities is not a question of fact but rather a question of how it might help .. or not.
