lame prizes

Besides anyone can have some level of psychic ability if they haven't been poisoned by big pharma, dentist or tap water and either have natural ability or take the right drug. Meditation might also be enough, not sure though. Up the prizes to 10 million and there might be interest.

Usefulness

This list is useless for a psychic. How do you apply to any of them? No links. Here is my psychic demonstration where I get 4 accurate answers using bibliomancy.

Scientific American, JREF and Australian Skeptics never reply to applications or enquiries. Please update with links to the application forms, I bet none of them pay!

This is readily falsifiable. For example, the JREF has a long list of applications and the process they've gone through (http://forums.randi.org/forumdisplay.php?f=43), and the application is easily found on their website (http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/1m-challenge/challenge-application.html). If you can't find it, you aren't looking.

DUH I WONDER WHY DERPDERP. Because it was fake and s/he knows it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.39.17.160 (talk) 10:34, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This list is deceptive by putting the field CLAIMED? in red.

You should add a column REPLIES? and note that none of these competitions acknowledge applications for offers by psychics to be tested. I have applied to all 26 prizes where an address could be found and none have replied. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.23.39.83 (talk) 09:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.iigwest.com/challenge.html $50K Please contact www.info@iigwest.com They test anyone serious enough to help design their own protocol. Clearly state what you can do under testable conditions and they will work with you. I have no idea where you are located and you may have to travel to the nearest IIG affiliate.

Removed item from list

I have removed America's Psychic Challenge from the list because it does not appear to meet the criteria for inclusion. Specifically, the prize was awarded as part of a run-off competition in which contestants' abilities were implicitly presupposed rather than explicitly challenged by scientific rigor. — C M B J 12:34, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am adding some references and doing a general cleanup of this page. Also adding contact information. Onlydemi (talk) 17:59, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
