Oh geez, one of those moments where you know you're screwed, wanting to get out of the moment and it just keeps dragging on! It's over man! Everything he has done, everyone he has fooled, over lol
@@leksasdfI just did a quick google search like you said. I was expecting something like he admitted he was fake, but wasn’t expecting what I actually found.
I really have to commend the judges, the host, and Randi himself for maintaining a courteous and professional attitude about the whole situation. They were careful not to call Hydrick a liar and remained tactful while explaining that Hydrick's false theory about the static with the styrofoam.. I'm still impressed by this after all these years of watching Hydrick's performance.
I love how Bob Barker set up the whole bit almost like a stunt from "Truth or Consequences": he let the audience know what was really up before bringing Hydrick on, letting him get a "warm" welcome, and then springing the surprise. RIP Bob!
That's why I respect James Randi. He was a skeptic, but he also never dismissed someones claim to have psychic ability. He was open to being proven wrong and gave people a platform to do so. Of course, he was proven right every time; however, his open-mindedness is what some skeptics don't have these days. Some skeptics like to just falsely dismiss something without even putting it to the test. They sling names at people as if that helps (it doesn't). We need more skeptics like Randi.
It's interesting to watch him know he's been figured out and to see the wheels turning trying to figure out how he's going to get out of this. Then, he comes up with something absurd.
Hedrick should've just blown and then said the psychic powers have an area of effect he cannot control so other objects around the book would be affected.
didn't even realize there was an ending segment where Randi actually demonstrated the technique. All the videos just stop after they say thank you to him. This is cool.
It would have been great if Randi had figured out a way to move the page even with the foam present, and did so nonchalantly just as Tinkerbell was walking off the stage.
Imagine how weak of a superpower Hydrick's psychic abilities are if they were real. If foam literally blocks it out you just need to have on a foam armor and it will produce enough "static"/heat (when exposed to light apparently) to completely render him completely powerless. He's definitely not getting a spot on the X-Men either way (if Professor X let convicted sex offenders on the X-men anyways).
"I have to be to where I can work with something small and then big, to build up my own self." LOL!!! Hydrick was shredded to pieces here (no Styrofoam needed lol). James Randi Rocks!!!
Randi could have satisfied Hydrick's request very easily and Hydrick would have no defense... get rid of the foam, like he asks.. but instead of making the page flip away from him, tell him to have it flip TOWARD him. If it was psychic power, the direction the page turns shouldn't be an issue of any kind.
I died when he said that he can't just do it as its not a magic trick he has to work his way up when he clearly did it before the foam was placed in front of the book LOL😂😂
A 21 year old that claims psychic abilities is asked about how he became aware... Years of training from an old Chinese man? 21 years old! 🤯🤦🏾♂️... That debunked it alone. Mind u, he's from Salt lake City
8:14 Hydrick is so glad it’s over, he starts walking off stage before the audience has even finished clapping. 8:18 Hydrick realizes he doesn’t know where to go and just stands there 8:27 Idiot is now so lost he begins flossing his teeth while still on stage
"This isn't a magician's trick. I can't just come up, bang-bang, and it's over. I have to be where I can work with something small, and then big, to build up my own self." This explanation can only elicit one response: huh?!
This guy (like most criminals) believed that he was smarter than everyone else. I was a kind when this aired and I remember my dad laughing his ass off.
It would have been a wise move if he turned around, squatted and moved the pages with a loud fart, at least among the laughter and the confusion he could have escaped...
3:20 is when he decided either this will make or break - and it broke so tremendously he ended up in prison and this footage will forever live on the internet🤣
Take the foam away, and put a glass box over the book. I wonder what he would have said then. True telekineses would likely need no hand movements at all.
I reckon this time in desperation he really did try to use mental power to turn the pages.
😆
🤣🤣
He was like "you know what, fuck it, maybe it's real"
Lmao. You are probably right.
His smile said "I'm so screwed"
He did win something: world record holder for length of time staring at an open telephone book and a pile of foam.
I tried to beat this record but my telekinesis kept knocking the book away :(
Randi recently said that there were bodyguards off stage keeping an eye on the guy, since he was known to go violent on occasions.
hahhaha dont make any story dude
Not surprised! Just imagine the humiliation and frustration he was going through... he was clearly not lucid.

Actually I think he was dead from the moment he saw Randi open that box and take out a can with foam. He knew he was fucked
"it pulls the page down" *page falls correctly* I laughed so much.

Wow. James Randi is amazing. He needs some kind of award for what he does.

"The Styrofoam and the light form a static that pulls the page down."
"No sir, that's called gravity."
This is such a classic debunk. James will be missed. His memories with us forever.
Man most comments are 10 years old 😃.. Time flies
Lol
It sure has
and this one is 2 years old
Hybrick was thinking "I am so screwed."
Imagine being that dude in that moment and just knowing you’re screwed.
Hahahahhahahhha it would be so shameful
Why don't ask him to move the pages backwards instead of putting foam...then his lame static excuse would be blown too
RIP James Randi. Looked up this clip, saw it as a kid, it made an impression on me.
4:12 I love how even the parapsychologist has high enough standards to not be fooled by the "static cling" explanation.
Maybe if he had just used a dryer sheet, though.
Ikr? That was the best part.
Hydrick's thinking: How the hell am i going to blow with this freaking fom in my way :D.
the foam could detect air being blown onto it thats why

I at least give this guy credit for admitting it was bullshit after he was called out on it. It's more than we can say for Uri Geller.
Simplest way to expose this bullshitter should have been to place the directory sideways.
I was thinking about the same while watching Hydrick!
Gustav Adolf That guy is in a mental hospital today. No kidding.
Or spine facing him
Dude but that would make it misaligned with earth's magnetic field and thus prevent hydriks psychic powers to do it's thing.
GOOD :D He deserves everything he has.

I disagree, you could not have posted it with your mind because of the fucking static electricity
Thing is nowadays posting a comment with your mind is possible with neuralink lol
Styrofoam is like kryptonite against phenomenal psychic powers!
For your information, Hydric later confessed he was blowing the pages and had no psychic power at all.
Hedrick should've just blown and then said the psychic powers have an area of effect he cannot control so other objects around the book would be affected.
Yeah , good point
wouldn’t have explained why the air current only came from one direction
The sad truth is we have less people like Great Randy n more people like Hydrick.
didn't even realize there was an ending segment where Randi actually demonstrated the technique. All the videos just stop after they say thank you to him. This is cool.
"I could throw a football over them mountains".
🤣uncle rico
The irony: if they had used something lighter than foam as Hydric had asked, that would have made it more obvious that he was blowing on the pages 😂
James cannot be fooled. RIP my hero 😔👍💯💔
Why didn't anyone suggest for him to just move a single piece of foam.
And he still never found the telephone number he was looking for
RIP Randy you were amazing
It would have been great if Randi had figured out a way to move the page even with the foam present, and did so nonchalantly just as Tinkerbell was walking off the stage.

The foam and the lights cancelled out James Hydrick's powers.

Hydrick at 0:33, "Oh s---!"
I was five years old when this fraud appeared on That's Incredible. I knew then as a child that he was a fake.

Because they think they can fool those doing the testing.
6:02 please, please 😢
James have you been using my chili bowl to cut your hair again?
They should have turn off the lights and removed the Styrofoam. Then surrounded the phone book by candles🕯.😅😂
Lol the static excuse was actually pretty genius!
Looks like he didn't attend science class lol
His 'mental power' is tooooooo weak to compete fith imaginary static electricity :) BWAHAHAHA!
Failed jedi.
his psychic powers are not strong enough to beat static electricity
The lights heat it up !!!! Come on ok then. Well my hair cut is so gangster it holds the pages down ;). Word to the static
Poor hydrick was hoping those pages would move lol
he could have also put a glass wall there to block the air, but the guy will make up another excuse
It would have been a wise move if he turned around, squatted and moved the pages with a loud fart, at least among the laughter and the confusion he could have escaped...
im 8 yrs late but this is gold 😂
That's not caused by "static electricity" that's caused by gravity
Turn the phone book sideway for BruceLeroy. Hydrick should consider selling snake oil with the traveling circus.
Hahahahaha!
I’m 36 years old and I try using my Jedi powers every day. Haven’t had any luck so far.
I believe he's already been honored with an award in 1986 or so.
3:20 is when he decided either this will make or break - and it broke so tremendously he ended up in prison and this footage will forever live on the internet🤣
I know hydrick got found out but fair play to him I mean he dude practiced to breathe without showing it just to fool some people
2:30 this is like a scene out of Matilda when she tries to show Ms. Honey her power when trying to make the glass of water tip over and fails lmao
Nothing better than to train in martial arts for years to eventually be able to turn phone book pages from a few inches away...
😂 U forgot pencil ✏️ as well!
James had an opportunity to make 10000 dollars, but he blew it!
💯🔥
Wow, you'd never guess that guy was a pedophile just by looking at him!
5:14 look how hydrick is laughing
I think, Dynamo Jack could do this if he was there.
There aren't (in my opinion) enough TV shows that have a mentally ill person, in pyjamas, staring at a Yellow Pages for 15 minutes.
Its funny because nobody wants to call him a Liar about the static electricity nonsense! 😂🤣 he's a charlatan.
The first words in His Wikipedia profile are > "is an American convicted sex offender" lol
Even if this guy could turn pages of a book with his mind, who gives a shit. How useless would those phycic powers be?
the biggest revelation here is that Bob Barker once had dark hair. I guess I'm just used to white haired Bob
Hydrick got his Force training from the DevRy online.
7:42 man's been skewered and he doesn't even know it
5:12 the exact moment he came to terms that the jig was up
"styroform create electricity that pull the pages down" thats called gravity. hhahahaha
Chris angel would of levitated out of that situation lol
1:53 Is that the sound of his knees?
Lmao his knees wanted no part of this
Take the foam away, and put a glass box over the book. I wonder what he would have said then.
True telekineses would likely need no hand movements at all.
what the hell is a parapsychologist and shouldn't James Rndi be debunking that guy instead of Bruce Lee's Mormon doppleganger?
0:34 "Bruh..."
*"Please spare me bruh..."*
Lol!!
Rest in peace, Bob Barker the man was extremely gracious and kind, and I know that he was thinking this guy is so full of bullshit
"This guy sucks" - Bob Barker from Happy Gilmore
That dumb and dumber hair cut is killing me .
That one scene from mob physco
So styro- foam can charge my phone?
Well awesome!!
Just get a portable charger, more convenient
I have psychic powers that let me move things with my mind, unless there's little pieces of styrofoam around the object.
Pretty sure homeboy thought he was was really gonna do it with his thoughts this time. Gotta appreciate the self-belief.
I could have made it easy for everyone involved.. "Hey psychic master im gonna put a piece of duct tape on your mouth. Now try."
I think the tag for this video should be Bob Barker. ;)
What is funny is he tried to even posture in his gong fu at a distances too.
What did this have to do wit the demonstration? I think it's either psychic power or electrical power. And explain why polyester plays a role in this.
It worked at home with a fan or open window.
