At youtube.com you’ll see an interesting set of videos dealing with the last Phenomenon episode, the second in the series. Here, all three actors – Geller, Angel, and Callahan – get to expound on what they think took place. Video also here →

First was Geller (misspelled “Gellar” in the heading) who of course declared himself “mind-blown” by the episode, poor chap.

Rob Beschizza reporting for Wired Magazine ran an item where he gives applicants of the million dollar challenge tips on how to deal with Randi and collect their million.

It's not gone well for the challengers, with Pear backing out and Fremer frustrated by the all-too-public negotiations between Randi and himself.

Don't let it happen to you. Whether you're psychic or merely a subjectivist in matters of science, here are 10 tips for dealing with Randi and claiming your dough.
