John Edwards. lolz.
Edwards is a CLASSIC cold reader, he could write the book on it. There was another “psychic to the stars” named “Char” years ago, did the same crap: “I’m getting an M.. do you know anyone whose name starts with M?” kind of crap. It amazes me how people lap it up.
I think I laughed a bit too much when he said “you can fork off”… I guess I’m very immature today.
I really like this video though; Dawkins and Brown are both such interesting people.
I watched all six parts. Very impressive. When Brown talked about the nature of his skepticism, I found it particularly interesting.
So, John Edward is coming to a city near me this summer. Should I go and try to call him out, and get some information to blog against his tricks? Or should I save my money?
@ieatgravel: Calling him out would be fun. Not sure what the consequences might be for that, though.
