Public, Talks and Media Presentations
Duiiag this period I have given talks to public schools, eivic groups, and other organizations. I also have
appeared on several television and radio program. I save as a resource to the media on various topics related to the
paranormal, deception, mysticism, the occult, and human error. In this connection I have appeared on all the major
networks, on Cable Network News, the Law King Live show. Italian Television, Canadian Tclevision, BBC telcvision,
and Nciva. I see these apptarances as put ofmy program to help educate the public about bow human eogaition both
enables us to cope with problems and makes us susceptible to illusion and deception.
My experience and CredWintialls Relevant to Alleged Psychle Phenomena
Since 1953, 1 have been called upon by various governmental agencies to investigate or evaluale paranormal
claims. Some exanples would be the evaluation of a lady who allegedly could read with her finger tips; the
evaluation of the claim by a group of en&e= that they could teach psychics to gather information from photographs,
the assessment of parapsychological research by American and foreign investigators, and the observation of metal
bending and other alleged miracles by Uri Geller, I have also served as consultant and expea witness in court cases
involving psychics orrelated paranormal claims. I have appeared on several radio and television programs in the United
States, Great Britain, Canada and Italy to comment upon paranormal claim and to demonstrate how alleged paranormal
phenomena can be duplicated by simple trickery end psychological manipulation.
I earned my way through coflege performing mentalism and reading palm. I have demonstrated psychic
readings on several television and radio shows. I have done research and written articles an why people can falsely
believe that their psychic readings were accurate and depended upon occult information. I have been invited to the
Euroskeptics'conference in Osteade, Belgium to conduct a workshop on psychic readings at the end of September,
1994.
