Yeah... 10kg really isn't that much. He had a lot of *surface area* to make contact with, and by shifting his position he shifted the center of gravity relative to the mirror. Really simple trick.
Randi destroyed 100's of people's careers. He himself was a great illusionist. He loved magic and all who performed. Magic is hard work to fool people with illusions. But one thing Randi detested, was people who swore down that they had 'powers'. And were not using magic. This pissed him off from an early age. He carried a check with him for most of his career. And visited 1000's of these people who claimed to have powers. And he told them should they be able to prove to him beyond doubt they had actual powers. That he would instantly give them the check for $10,000. He never gave a check to anyone. :) He recently said that in his entire lifetime, of all the individuals he met from 100's of Countries. That every single one of them were conmen. The ones he detested more than any and most will agree. Is the faith healers. 'donate generously now people. Hallelujah, this mans cancer is healed by my hands!' those guys. He ruined tonnes of them over the years. And i'm glad.

Arek Petrosian you are correct. I never implied that mirrors are magnetic. I’m saying for this trick, they added a thin sheet of metal behind the mirror, covered by a thin sheet of wood (to hide the metal)
His reasons for getting into the business of exposing con artists are interesting. When he worked as a magician, he encountered people who were so blown away by some of his tricks that they believed it had to be actual magic, simply because they couldn't see the trick. He tried to tell people that they were, indeed, just tricks (but of course, being a magician, he couldn't reveal the trick to them). People want to live in a magical world, and when they don't understand something, it's easy to just say, "Must be magic!"
It depend what you call "magic" - I bet that when people didn't know what gunpowder is, they could easly say that you use magic when you blow something up
Even if this was legit (obviously it never would be but let’s say hypothetically) could you imagine him talking to other super heroes? “I am wolverine and I got bad ass claws and super senses”. “I am storm and I control the weather”. “I am ‘magnet man’ and in a certain angle with my shirt off I can make things stick to me marginally but only in a fragile way where they may fall really easily”.
+Sharon Matthews: I guess he would need to be able to turn on and off his magnetism. In other words, he has to be an electromagnet, not a permanent magnet. The thing about magnetism is that it is not directional. You can't just choose to bring a car to you. The magnetic field would effect all objects in the vicinity. Everything within range would come flying at you. So, the X-men Magneto thing doesn't quite makes sense......but who cares. It is good entertainment.
I bet that guy thought he was safe in Korea. "Hey, you know that guy from America who always busts fake psychics?" "Yeah?" "He's here in the studio!" "...this isn't gonna go well"
Randi is actually a high level wizard. He dispels amateur magics to preserve the masquerade. Every defeated psychic is afterwards wisened in the ways of the sorcerers under his tutelage.
To be fair it is kinda impressive to be able to get it to stay at the most extreme angle allowed by physics, on demand in front of an audience. Must've taken a whole lot of practice. Just a shame he has to try to legitimize it by tricking people into believing woo-woo.
Urban Van del-Who cares about traces? This guy obviously is a fraud trying to fool people with a non-magnetic mirror. Thank God for Randi. Hope that helped.

***** It has always annoyed me how in American shows, the excessive clapping is bordering on insanity. Like, after every answer they give or for any reason at all. Even when they lose people clap.
I live in Korea, and that is a typical reaction in that type of situation. Now, it's definitely changing, but for thousands of years, Korea has been a mono-culture, and communal ideas, not necessarily to the level of group think, are commonplace. I think in any isolated culture, you would have communal reactions like this, and in Korea the "aaaawwwwwhhhh" reaction is merely the one they demonstrate.
You all do know that live studio audience react to cue cards that they are shown right? If they need to aww, they will se a cue card just saying that. Excessive clapping the same thing. That fake laughing you hear same thing as well.
No one can do those things. NO ONE. If you believe that some humans can, then I want to know which planet you are on. Debunking those idiots is rewarding. It is wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Exposing all the fakes and charlatans of the world is an endeavor of joy. That is rewarding.
What things? Balance a mirror on your chest? Of course people can do that and you saw the guy in the video doing it. The point is, that the guy also claimed to be magnetic, while he obviously isn't. However it's not unthinkable that someone's chest is magnetic. It would be super cool and fascinating to find out why. The people who believed this guy obviously didn't find it fascinating and worthy of research.
***** LOL, I'm embarrassed for you. Unsupported conjecture in pursuit of the magic as you reject perfectly reasonable explanations. Carry on. I'm laughing at you.
***** It's not simple, it probably took that guy a lot of practice. He may even have prepped with some adhesive solution applied to his skin. The point is that it wasn't magic, and it wasn't even magnetism. That's why the talcum powder worked.
YEs this,. The real issue is, some of them are extremely dumb, by sticking "NON" Magnetic things to their arm.. This is where they expose their stupidity lol. The real issue is when it comes to debunking anything paranormal/superstitious/religion, no one bothers to watch this cause they'll be even more ignorant regardless of claims. Its why "debunking" channels gets the lowest subs/views; people get offended if their magical claims are busted.
Randi's one of the good guys. There are so many fake psychics and the like. He's making life a little bit better everyday by revealing them for what they are. When he goes we would have lost one of our own best honest researchers.
This is just simple adhesion. Even I could get a goddamn MIRROR to stick to my bare chest. The slightest amount of natural moisture on the skin will make just about anything with a flat, non-porous surface to "stick" to you. Then you hear the audience's "Ohhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhh".... They're completely mesmerized at absolutelt NOTHING. Un-fuckin-believable . . .
I'm currently studying in university in China, and the female students here are the exact same, when a teacher or a student says something not even slightly fascinating, they would all go "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." I still don't know why the people here respond so dramatically.
I know this is old but have never seen it.. But was my first solution that came to my head. He has taught many people critical thinking without them even knowing.
yeah true. im pointing out the look on that lying liars face... his life is ruined. i kind of feel sorry for him, but in the end, your point is ultimately true
usually there is a simple explanation for seemingly extraordinary feats. But when presented in a particular it can be difficult to work it out. James Randi is such a master at working things like this out
For anyone who’s wondering why someone would even attempt a stunt like this with James Randi on the stage: Try, try, try to understand. He’s a magnet man.
YEs this,. The real issue is, some of them are extremely dumb, by sticking "NON" Magnetic things to their arm and claim they are magnetic.. This is where they expose their stupidity lol. The problem with skin, you can stick anything to it with just body sweat/oils.. Its just people being being stupid.
I can also see why Karl would think Joseph Merrick turned out the way he did because of his mum being trampled by elephants. The beginning of the film does pretty much imply it.
I've done similar and much more impressive things in my teenage years. I could roll the pen in my palm perpendicular to the ground. Needless to say your hands have to be sticky for it.

Well if you think about it, that men made his career with his sweat... not the sweat of his brow, more like the sweat of his hairless chest.
Aaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Old man was like "boom bam bop.... bada bop boom pow" and then the audience goes Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!
Poor guy got ‘Emotional Damage!’ when baby powder took him down
That audience... Awwhhhhh.
Haha yeah....it's like they've been trained to do that
***** Meh, just like people here are 'brainwashed' to clap?
***** It has always annoyed me how in American shows, the excessive clapping is bordering on insanity. Like, after every answer they give or for any reason at all. Even when they lose people clap.
I live in Korea, and that is a typical reaction in that type of situation. Now, it's definitely changing, but for thousands of years, Korea has been a mono-culture, and communal ideas, not necessarily to the level of group think, are commonplace. I think in any isolated culture, you would have communal reactions like this, and in Korea the "aaaawwwwwhhhh" reaction is merely the one they demonstrate.
You all do know that live studio audience react to cue cards that they are shown right? If they need to aww, they will se a cue card just saying that. Excessive clapping the same thing. That fake laughing you hear same thing as well.
If the guy were actually magnetic he would be causing feedback on the microphone and other electronics.
No one can do those things. NO ONE. If you believe that some humans can, then I want to know which planet you are on. Debunking those idiots is rewarding. It is wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Exposing all the fakes and charlatans of the world is an endeavor of joy. That is rewarding.
Terry Lambert I agree with you mate. as it didnt explain it in the video how what did the guy have on his chest that made the mirror stick to him ?
What things? Balance a mirror on your chest? Of course people can do that and you saw the guy in the video doing it.
The point is, that the guy also claimed to be magnetic, while he obviously isn't. However it's not unthinkable that someone's chest is magnetic. It would be super cool and fascinating to find out why. The people who believed this guy obviously didn't find it fascinating and worthy of research.
*****
Nice try. No one can do those things. No more bong for you.........no no no.........
***** LOL, I'm embarrassed for you. Unsupported conjecture in pursuit of the magic as you reject perfectly reasonable explanations. Carry on. I'm laughing at you.
***** It's not simple, it probably took that guy a lot of practice. He may even have prepped with some adhesive solution applied to his skin. The point is that it wasn't magic, and it wasn't even magnetism. That's why the talcum powder worked.
The Amazing Randi's greatest trick was making lies disappear.
zzzzzzz.....
crowd: AHHHHHHHHH
1 minute later
crowd: ohhhhhhhh.........
The Amazing Randi was a gentle soul with an overdose of integrity.
Magnet Man: "I can stick anything to my body without it falling off.
"
Randi: "Hold my talcum powder."
But he needs to use the talcum powder
@@reduceparticles876 You make a good point.
Um...
Magnet Man: "Challenge accepted! The talcum powder is stuck to my body and it's not falling off! What do I win?"
Lol!!
RIP the Amazing Randi. Your amazingness lives on!
powder was his Kriptonite.
At least he tried. So many fake psychics just wuss out and say "Oh, the stars aren't properly aligned at this time", or some nonsense like that
Are there real types?!
Maybe he thought his fear sweat would overpower the talcum powder....
They may have even convinced themselves, that they have powers.
Hahah the dudes face when Randy is applying the Talc- "We're fucked Barry... run!"
John Walsh damn shifty asians!
Show this to your magnetic vaccine friends...
When that started i thought of this immediately. Around the same time i changed my screen name (i change it now and then). 😆
Well, first they need to master the illusion. That woman couldn't get a key or Bobby pin to stick for more than one second.
@@Byrvurra #magnetchallenge
YEs this,. The real issue is, some of them are extremely dumb, by sticking "NON" Magnetic things to their arm.. This is where they expose their stupidity lol.
The real issue is when it comes to debunking anything paranormal/superstitious/religion, no one bothers to watch this cause they'll be even more ignorant regardless of claims. Its why "debunking" channels gets the lowest subs/views; people get offended if their magical claims are busted.
@Ky56789ghydxf watch the video and tell me its not the same bs
Randi's one of the good guys. There are so many fake psychics and the like. He's making life a little bit better everyday by revealing them for what they are. When he goes we would have lost one of our own best honest researchers.
Love Randi cause he isn't a douche about it, just factual demonstrations
This is just simple adhesion. Even I could get a goddamn MIRROR to stick to my bare chest. The slightest amount of natural moisture on the skin will make just about anything with a flat, non-porous surface to "stick" to you. Then you hear the audience's "Ohhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhh".... They're completely mesmerized at absolutelt NOTHING.
Un-fuckin-believable . . .
I'm currently studying in university in China, and the female students here are the exact same, when a teacher or a student says something not even slightly fascinating, they would all go "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." I still don't know why the people here respond so dramatically.
He shamed himself and his family - he went home that day and committed sudoku.
its seppuku. but i get you point...
As funny as the comment is, the idea is actually pretty sad to think about.
Wrong culture.
He committed sudoku because The Amazing Randi had cross words for him.
@@butcherboy2008 HA
Guess he wasn't Magnet Man, he was Sweat Man.
IMPOSSIBRUE!!!!!
As kids we used to put spoons on our noses and they'd stay there.
did you put talcum powder on?
Naw, we used to just do it bare, still worked.
What do you mean: "as kids". I know several adults (all geeks) who still do.
I know this is old but have never seen it.. But was my first solution that came to my head. He has taught many people critical thinking without them even knowing.
James Randi should win the $1 million. He's the greatest magician of all!
RelevantQuestions Actually he was considered mediocre at best when it came to his demonstrable prestidigitation.
he ruined his life haha
yeah true. im pointing out the look on that lying liars face... his life is ruined. i kind of feel sorry for him, but in the end, your point is ultimately true
usually there is a simple explanation for seemingly extraordinary feats. But when presented in a particular it can be difficult to work it out. James Randi is such a master at working things like this out
Magic is never real. The only thing that is real is chemical reactions and physics.
@JT10112Tell that to the millions who believe this crap.
For anyone who’s wondering why someone would even attempt a stunt like this with James Randi on the stage:
Try, try, try to understand. He’s a magnet man.
It took a lot of heart for you to write that comment. Bravo!
i dont get it @@Spiritof_76
I assume they are not warned Randi will be there to ruin their gimmicks
POWDER MY ONLY WEAKNESS
Randy didnt debunk his power...the translators just got the name wrong.
He's Sweaty Chest Man!
It looks like 'Magnet man' was REPELLED by Randi!
I wish there was an audience that gave you the same sound as this video on hearing that comment.
Home run Pete!
Thought of this with the vaccine making people magnetized. Flipping hilarious.
YEs this,. The real issue is, some of them are extremely dumb, by sticking "NON" Magnetic things to their arm and claim they are magnetic.. This is where they expose their stupidity lol. The problem with skin, you can stick anything to it with just body sweat/oils..
Its just people being being stupid.
Oh no I bring great shame **stabs self with samurai sword**
Samurai are Japanese. These people are Chinese.
*Korean
same thing
and the swords sticks to his body and he realised he was magnetic all along.
baby powder is his kryptonite
how could you magnet man, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE HERO WE NEED.
He was just Sticky-man.
All I need to defeat magneto is some talcum powder!
Karl pilkington's story of the magnet man being actually a sweaty man was true. His superpower would be beaten by talc.
Its not sweat that makes stuff stick. That would actually make them slide off.
I can also see why Karl would think Joseph Merrick turned out the way he did because of his mum being trampled by elephants. The beginning of the film does pretty much imply it.
@@stiimuliYou, sir, are an idiot.
hilarious!
am I the only one who remembers sticking spoons to my nose at 5 showing off my "magical powers"?
Apparently. People don't understand science. It's really unfortunate.
I've done similar and much more impressive things in my teenage years. I could roll the pen in my palm perpendicular to the ground. Needless to say your hands have to be sticky for it.
great..... now i'm out of a job. thanks asshole.
Can we get him to do this to all those who say that the vaccine turned them into magnets?
???
What's patently hilarious is that the people who made these fearmongering claims were not vaccinated anyway
He isn't magnetic 🧲, he's just sweaty! 🥵
Aaaaaah! 😲😐
The way Koreans react is so funny
Feekpah Kerkula so exaggerated.
Those people are all Puerto Rican
These people are clearly indigenous russians!
You're all wrong! It's the elusive crab people!
Regardless of all the other comments. This is Japan. Randi has been there doing the same thing for 30 or so years.
YOU DISHONOUR TO FAMIRY!
BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
im on a Randi video streak NICE!!!
Yeah I can get clammy too, but I don`t claim to have superpowers 🤣
Even the asians can´t handle James Randi
James Randi's Kung Fu is strong.
Love that unanimous reaction of the crowd
you no honor famiry! you no attract metar!
Now this is factchecking
The guys face at the end... heartbreaking haha Randi is a pro at this
Not heartbreaking at all. Dude got what he deserved for pulling a bogus circus act and tricking people into believing it. Fraudster goes bye-bye...
@@MGmirkinnever heard magician stunt?They are fake but still entertain people, their magic secret shouldn't debunked.
You should go to school next time
Magnet Man is in truth Sweaty Man!!
Was thinking the exact same thing.
