Psychics Who Demand Their Million
Told to "Shove It"

Even American's most accurate "seer"
with an astounding 97% accuracy rate

Hamstead, MD  |  A man in Maryland has joined the long list of psychics lining up to collect on skeptic James "The Amazing" Randi's pledge to pay one million dollars to anyone who can demonstrate legitimate psychic abilities.

Earlier this year, political pollster Andere Falschung accurately predicted 31 out of 32 U.S. Senate races, saying they would all be won by "a rich White guy who doesn't give a rat's ass about your stupid problems."

Falschung demonstrated comparable accuracy with the House and Gubernatorial races.

Strictly speaking, the Senate race in North Carolina was not won by a "guy" but rather female candidate Elizabeth Dole. However, Falschung says this is just a technicality and promises he will be vindicated by the Louisiana runoff election between Suzanne Terrell and incumbent Mary Landrieu.

Randi, who devotes much of his career to exposing fraudulent spiritualists, says Falschung's claims are ridiculous. "Hell, even I could have predicted that," he insists. "Tell him he can shove it."

Other psychics demanding payment from Randi include British mystic Gary Fowler, who predicted the outcome of England's "Celebrity Big Brother" television series, and 17-year-old Canadian Moosie Rydell, who predicted his dog would throw up after eating a dozen Twinkies.
