Yeah, exactly.
M
43:58Matt BaxterGUEST
And that's, you know, with me showing the Invisidor, it goes along with that Banachek thing of because, you know, they have a bunch of different videos where, you know, people know the comments.
M
44:09Matt BaxterGUEST
So they go, oh, this was done by blah, blah, blah.
M
44:11Matt BaxterGUEST
So they put out another video to kind of demonstrate it wasn't done that way.

M
9:07Marc SpelmannGUEST
Yeah, number two.
M
9:10Marc SpelmannGUEST
And obviously watching, I'm a huge fan of Banachek, Steve, you know, obviously a master of mentalism, you know, and his story is one for the ages.
M
9:22Marc SpelmannGUEST

And I know you've been on that path with Steve Banachek for a lot of that.
M
9:39Marc SpelmannGUEST
So I think your title of Your Excellency would stand even if you hadn't have won that award.

And someone else is mentioning PK Touch.
J
33:41Josh NorbidoHOST
PK Touch is another funny, funny, funny thing too, where like even if you're using the method that doesn't require any gimmicks or any external stuff that Banachek wrote up, like the original one, the idea in your head that like, that person's feeling you touch them when you're 10 feet away, and everyone's like, he never touched you, never touched you.
J
34:03Josh NorbidoHOST
But I'm like, you idiots.

James Randi: The Former Magician Who Exposed Fakes, Frauds, and Charlatans

He then set out on a different path, intending to prove that the methodology used by the lab was flawed and susceptible to trickery.
S
18:34Simon WhistlerHOST
He did this with the help of two teenage magicians named Michael Edwards and Steve Shaw.
S
18:39Simon WhistlerHOST
The latter would ultimately adopt the stage name Banachek and has become one of Randi's most prominent proteges, even serving as the director for Randi's foundation.
S

But for now, he and Edwards were just two skilled mentalists who were posing as psychics.

E

And they're like, you can't be a 17 year old or 14 year old kid saying, yes, when I was traveling through India and I was going through the Taj Mahal and I did this and that.
