At Large with a Medium: Psychic John Edward
Thursday January 4, 2007
A writer recounts a psychic session with medium John Edward. "What would convince us that he wasn’t just your average hokey psychic?" the writer asks in the story. He and his wife agreed, prior to the session, that a hand print that hangs on a French door leading into the living room would be a telling sign of something beyond a cold reading. The print belonged to their daughter who died of a rare disease in 1996 just before her 4th birthday.
"If John Edward is a total phony, he’s the best I’ve seen," the writers says in the story after the session. "He had just enough ‘hits’ of things you couldn’t discover via Internet search or background check, and just enough “misses” to lead us to believe that a fraud who had done homework on us wouldn’t have gotten those things wrong. Or, is that part of the psychic’s intentional game?"

How many tricks does the magician have to perform before he is a magician. If he is real medium why doesn’t he take the James Randy Challenge and earn the Million dollars? Why doesn’t he take the other challenges for other prizes? He is a great magician but only that!
Pete,
Perhaps John Edwards doesn’t feel the need to move away from the spiritual path he is on.
Perhaps John Edwards hold onto a different value system than you.
Maybe he is comfortable with the “earthly possesions” he has and feels his life, his family and the God he holds dear to his heart is all he needs.
I think he is satisfied with his life as is and refuses to allow the negativity of ” Prove it to a non believer” to distract him from what he knows to be the correct path for him…
John Edward HAS been tested at the University of Arizona by an objective researcher. And he passed with flying colors. James Randi is not objective. He firmly believes that psychic phenomena is mostly hogwash and makes a living being a debunker. Why can’t Randi conclude that the University study was remarkable?
James Randi is not offering a million dollars they are bonds not dollers and what makes you think MR. Randi isn’t vying for publicity through his anti psychic campaign he’s never out of the headlines, the truth is he is an aging magician who can only live his past success through his sceptic society where he never tires of bragging about themselves. pathetic really Randi living on his past success and whats all the world to know how incredible he was including an awful photo of himself when he was younger. Nobody can take this aging ego seriously surely?
