Criss Angels exposes “psychics”

Criss Angel embarrassed “psychic” Jim Callahan last night on a live taping of the NBC show Phenomenon. After Callahan completed a stunt in which the spirit of author Raymond Hill helped him guess the contents of a mystery box, Angel (one of the show’s judges along with Uri Geller) challenged the psychic to tell him what was in the envelope he was holding. For a million dollars. In other words, do what you normally do but this time you get a million dollars for it. And hey, shock, he couldn’t do it! The details from Access Hollywood:

“Criss, I can see you’re itching to say something,” noted “Phenomenon” host and Access Hollywood’s Tim Vincent .

“I just think it’s comical quite frankly,” Angel said.

Angel then pulled an envelope from his pocket and appeared to challenge, not only Callahan’s abilities, but also those of his fellow judge Geller.

“I will give you a million dollars of my personal money right now if either one of you can tell me specific details of what’s in here right now,” Angel insisted.

The challenge clearly didn’t sit well with the contestant.

“Ok man, I’ll tell you what I will tell you. I find you an ideological bigot,” Callahan responded as he made his way towards Angel.

“Tell me what’s in the envelope,” Angel kept repeating.

Angel then got out of his seat to meet Callahan, as Geller and Vincent came between the two men and separated them. (Source)

Whatever Criss it’s not about the money, it’s about the art. It’s about the art of providing false hope to shattered parents who are honestly convinced you’re communicating with their dead son because a few of those vague generalizations you’ve been telling them for past hour may kinda have something to do with their son (”He liked sports! How did you know?”). It’s about puncuating those vague generalizations with enough crazy hand motions and fake convulsions to justify the $299 hour fee. It’s about that Criss. Hater
