Thread: $1M prize for paranormal ability demonstration

I originally posted a thread on this in Beyond Dreaming but wanted to see what SB'ers thought of the contest.

Of course some people will try to use parlor tricks to fool the prize-offerers. Trust me, they do not fall for ze smoke ahnd ze mirrors. They check you rigorously for funny business, and have weeded out every single applicant up to this day as a trickster or magician.

But if you really do have real life paranormal abilities, all you have to do is pass their prelimenary test to deduce if you are a phony, and then simply roll a pencil (with your mind) for them, astral project, read a mind or some other small, easy task in conditions of their choosing, just to make double-sure that you are not cheating.

Here is the site...

...and I leave the rest to you.

If you can actually do it, who doesn't want to be $1,000,000 richer for something as simple as that?

Sooo... any takers?
