James Van Praagh fails miserably at cold reading when a few audience members decided that they just aren’t buying it. Presenter has to awkwardly shut the segment down, comedy gold..

It’s funny, I once saw an interview where James Randi was criticising a reading by Van Praagh and his contemporary, John Edwards. Both Edwards and Van Praagh denied ever making money from their ventures and it was more about doing it for the love and building the collective consciousness. I dare say that the price that people pay for tickets to their shows covers just the expenses?
