Because Randi has rigged his test so that no one ever wins, however genuine their powers.

If you want to see evidence of paranormal powers, study the
research at

It would win the prize if Randi were honest.

thank you for the articles, they will be an interesting read.

but how are the tests rigged ?

from what i read about the applications.

they accepted the tests that should be easy to do if they were able to do what they claimed. i don't see how it can be rigged.

These abilities are sacred gifts and to miss use renders them a loss.
There are subtle rules to creation when followed can express much more than just the surface.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 900962



This is why:

"In all cases, applicant will be required to perform a preliminary test either before an appointed representative, if distance and time dictate that need, or in a location where a member or representative of the JREF staff can attend. This preliminary test is to determine if the applicant is likely to perform as promised during a formal test, using the agreed-upon protocol. To date, no applicant has passed the preliminary test, and this has eliminated the need for formal testing in those cases. There is no limit on the number of times an applicant may re-apply, but re-application can take place only after 12 months have elapsed since the completion of the preliminary test"

 Quoting: Just A Thought

The "preliminary test" is based upon a subjective assessment that cannot be scrutinized for its objectivity. Randi makes sure his evaluation is negative so that the examination cannot proceed to the formal test. In other words, you have someone who has already made his mind up and who makes sure that no format tests whose protocols could be criticized by others ever takes place.

Because Randi has the paranormal ability to block others' paranormal abilities.
It's good to be open-minded, just don't let your brain fall out.
