According to the article in the "Wee'-ly Asahi," "A person can qualify as a psychic if he can divert the attention of his audience for five seconds during an eight-hour demonstration." Eight hours -- that is asking too much. A person can sustain concentration of mind for at most 10 to 20 minutes.

Psychic power will not emerge under such conditions. Let me say here that it is very dangerous for someone without any knowledge of bow to manage the health of people with psychic power to conduct such experiments. Since I watched KIYOTA and YAMASHITA grow up, I realize that there is a difference between the two in the way their psychic power emerges. What I say here, therefore, may not amply equally to both of them. I would like, however, to P 777 _o~ 77 Approved For Release 2000/08/11 CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0400330014-3 present my views for those with psychic power who may emerge in the future.'

This shows that Director URUTA knows nothing about the process of recovery of psychic energy. Why didn't KIYOTA demand that the demonstration be discontinued until he recovered hi.s psychic power? He should have asked the TV crew to allow him to have an assistant at all times who would help him during moments of "declining phenomenon" or when he experienced psychological difficulties. KIYOTA and Y&MASHITA are now in need of an instructor who can look into the bottom of their souls and provide them with discipline. Even after they recover their psychic power, they should not accept. any f urther. of f ers to appear on TV. unle-s-s the producer, understands the discipline involved.

Fuji TV planned a two-hour documentary for airing during its Friday "Family Wide Show" on 3 Feb. Shooting took place at a hotel in SHINJUKU, TOKYO, from 26 Dee for ten days. All the demonstrations were observed by a.panel comprising commentator TACHIBANA Takashi, SUZUKI Matsumi, director,.of'the Japan Acoustic Institute (Nippon Onkyo Kenkyujo) and OTANI Soji, professor of psychology at the Defense Academy. No matter how many times the TV crew tried, they were unable to record the much publicized spoon twisting demonstration by KIYOTA in complete sequence. KIYOTA would show the spoon to the panel but always after it has been twisted, never before. It was speculated 'that KIYOTA twisted the spoon with his hands when nobody was looking. While the cameras were trying to record the spoon sequence, a strange thing happened. The first person to. notice. that,.sp%et4ing. was wrong was produrer URUTA Toshio. On 29 Dec, writer RATA Masanori observed that KIYOiA, grasping the handle of the already deformed spoon in his left hand, rotated the spoon slowly as if he mq.re., t~w~s~ing it.

The hidden camera recorded a sequence where KIYOTA*was seen bending the spoon with his hands before he went on the show. During the psychic photography demonstration, KIYOTA pulled another serious blunder. Four cameras were used for this demonstration, an overhead stationary camera, one set up In the exhaust duct, another on a shelf, and the last set up behind a see-through mirror. KIYOTA, finding himself alone, slipped a Polaroid film into his pocket before retiring to the restroom. Five minutes later, he emerged, transferred the film to a holder, then appeared to make a psychic photograph. Flashing a Vsign to the panel, he jested "Friday the 13th must be my lucky day for I see my psychic powers have not deserted me."

Probably, that's when he developed the film." YAMASHITA's demonstration was equally suspect. The blindfold he used'was his own, a black cloth filled with cotton padding. Blindfolded, be was able to read cards and dice with total accuracy. Complex figures he was able to reproduce using a pencil. However, during the demonstrations, the panel noted that his claiXv9_yant wie 1~e d i"a. .'g'. am.o.n P .1§0, he.was.able to -see elairvoyantly within a.specif.-ic-field located directly.- - below his -blindfold'. * SUZUKI'bbdervis that'his f ield of vision was about what one,. would expect if a blindfolded person were looking out through a narrow opening.

You must remember he has sharp features, including a prominent nose. We 'suggested sealing his eyes completely, but he said the pressure on his eyes would restrict his psychic powers." So it was not until the ninth day that-YAMASHITA finally agreed to have his eyes sealed completely. Needless to say, his clairvoyant powers deserted him at that point. Magicians are able to read cards while blindfolded for the same reason. When SUZUKI demonstrated this trick for YAMASHITA, the latter complained, "The important difference here is I keep my eyes shut when blindfolded but you don't." If YAMASHITA is telling the truth, I can only say that ESP is beyond my comprehension. TACHIBANA says, "Whether we can call this ESP is very questionable." On 14.Jan,.the last day pf the shoot,ing, the panel confronted KIYOTA..with al-1 the evidence it had gathered. Overwhelmed, KIYOTA admitted the demonstrations were fraudulent. His confession was recorded by. a hidden camera and shown later. to TV viewers.

Once you become fairly good at it, the spoon bends easily and you almost begin to wonder if you are not indeed psychic." KIYOTA, after being exposed as a fraud, said, "The pressure to perform within a limited time frame became so great I just had to use physical force. But I must say this is the first time it has happened." TACHIBANA is skeptical, "Since we caught them cheating this time, we have to suspect this isn't the first time." SUZUKI, who appeared on a Nippon Television show on ESP before, once measured the 34.5-megahertz radio waves emitted -by KIYOTA's brain. KIYOTA showed me a Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0400330014-3 Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0400330014-3 videotape of that program. SUZUKI says, "That's not unusual since we all give off these emissions." On the show, KIYOTA made a fluorescent lamp glow with his brain emissions. SUZUKI explains, "We boosted the imissions a million times just to impress our TV audience." Needless to say, the disgraced psychics offered a rebuttal. TV officials say the Yamashita family has asked that all his scenes be cut from the show. rbdljce?-i~uRLrkA:r's-a'ys','"146~w" tfi~e'Vv:6fi"'s'--- 9!~p - ~be:YamaAhi-ta- ho~-k ha's V uncpver4~d, t:. --5ami_1y'fe-&rs - that. vleveif~f id6tiei1y`h1i-,.AtTi Y,.I-YdTk and has -ask6d'us Aestructq-re the show."

He has many friends in the Kansai financial world who are familiar with his son's psychic powers. While the TV show was being recorded, YAMASHITA put on clairvoyant demonstrations for executives of Daiwa Securities and Sumitomo Bank.

Some years back, this magazine published an interesting observation by YAMAMOTO Shichihei, writer, "ESP is ESP because we are unable to believe in its existence. These demonstrations should be conducted before an audience of skeptics. Otherwise, they are meaningless." Perhaps we can say the demonstrations failed because a skeptical TV crew possessed super-psychic powers which nullified the psychic powers of KIYOTA and YA.'-iASHITA.

Psychic power will not emerge under such conditions. Let me say here that it is very dangerous for someone without any knowledge of how to manage the health of people with psychic power to conduct such experiments. Since I watched KIYOTA and YAMASHITA grow up, I realize that there is a difference between the two in the way their psychic power emerges. What I say here, therefore, way not apply equally to both of them. I would like, however, to Approved For Release 2000/08/11 7~7', CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0400330014-3 present my views for those with psychic power who way emerge in the future.'

If KIYOTA and YAMASHITA had some knowledge of discipline, they would not have agreed to the unreasonable demands made by Fuji TV or consented to participate in such a hoax demons trati oa...

He was under mental torture at this time.. The.director further said "If you -actually have the power', I would like to get Photographic proof of it in Jone take." (TELOP used) KIYOTA did not know how to escape from this torture of mind. This shows that Director URUTA knows nothing about the process of recovery of psychic energy. Why didn't KIYOTA demand that the demonstration be discontinued until he recovered his psychic power? He should have asked the TV crew to allow him to have an assistant at all times who would help him during moments of "declining phenomenon" or when he experienced psychological difficulties. KIYOTA and YAMASHITA are now in need of an instructor who can look into the bottom of their souls and provide them with discipline. Even after they recover their psychic power, they should not accept,any further,offers to appear on TV unless the pr'oducer"understands the discipline involved. I consider Director URUTA and SUZUKI Matsumi as patients of psychic allergy." 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/1 t C-IA-RDP9&-GG792-ROO0400330014-3 :~a - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - t to- 1. 6 b - - - - ~ o lease08/11 CIA-P#F49 3~ Q1 ici 6jq9AWQOfO% ~~08/1 7 7 ~; T V 8 013 f- 4: Cr M OA M ' -f :-, mxxmt~ S A " re 2 A 3 S. &8WIb-;FIA.

Recently, a Fuji TV camera crew shooting a special documentary on ESP succeeded in recording several questionable demonstrations. 'd ~m o" ni s't' r1a"t f,6 n~v,* two c ege s 's~tidefit'*; *hljl~ly: -f6'jA-kd6d by'T-VI viewer&.-.6ne.is-K1`YOTA Masuaki, age.21,.a third-year.studen't-at.Senshu.JJniversity,: whose repertoire includes twisting and bending spoons and psychic photography using Polaroid film. "Sunday Mainichi," which has covered KIYOTA's career in great detail since last fall, says he is adept at twisting spoons and "seeing through" mirrors. The other is YAMASHITA Hiroto, age 19, a second-year student at Tokyo D a,,.:.. a bll~dioid'e'd. Fuji TV.planned a two-hour documentary for airing during its Friday "Family Wide ShoV' on 3 Feb. Shooting took.place at a hotel in SHINJUKU, TOKYO, from 26 Dec for ten days. All the demonstrations were observed by a.panel comprising commentator TACHIBANA Takashi, SUZUKI Matsumi, director.of the Japan Acoustic Institute (Nippon Onkyo Kenkyujo) and OTANI Soji, professor of psychology at the Defense Academy. No matter how many times the TV crew tried, they were unable to record the much publicized spoon twisting demonstration by KIYOTA in complete sequence. KIYOTA would show the spoon to the panel but always after it has been twisted, never before. It was speculated'that KIYOTA twisted the spoon with his hands when nobody was looking. While the cameras were trying to record the spoon sequence, a strange thing happened. The first person to, no.tic.e. t~at..sp%et4~ng. was, wrong was produrer URUTA Toshio. On 29 Dec, writer HATA Masanori observed that KIYOTA, grasping the halidle of the already deformed spoon in his left hand, rotated the spoon slowly as if he -t~wljs4ng it.- Then, on the ~9~4, " two.hours.aft.er the,demonstration.started and 1~~'th~ f hap ii A oor. h panel. ollowed pened, YO started pac khife"t e .. 4 AA saw--kiYdTA n e"" o" a n& movements on t e V m'o'nit6-r-,",tkd1ftB- th'' sp on'wit 'his h s.

The hidden camera recorded a sequence re KIY6'Tik'~*w-as~ seen bending the spoon with his hands before he went on the show. During the psychic photography demonstration, KIYOTA pulled another serious blunder. Four cameras were used for this demonstration, an overhead stationary camera, one set up in the exhaust duct, another on a shelf, and the last set up behind a see-through mirror. KIYOTA, finding himself alone, slipped a Polaroid film into his pocket before retiring to the restroom. Five minutes later, he eAftk%V,eCl:F,=Redieaed 2W/08~lnl Pe;lAASP%!~ofqA006h66p6g ake a psychic photograph.
