      HI, I'M JAMES RANDI.      
         I'M A MAGICIAN.        
         THAT IS TO SAY,        
        I'M A FAKE.             
WATCH THIS. I'M GOING TO DO     
     A LITTLE TRICK FOR YOU.    
  I'M GOING TO BALANCE THIS PEN 
    ON THE EDGE OF THE TABLE.   
  NOW I'LL LOOK AWAY SO YOU'RE  
      SURE I'M NOT BLOWING,     
  BUT I WANT YOU TO LOOK RIGHT  
        INTO YOUR TV SET,       
     CONCENTRATE ON IT, MAKE    
  THAT PEN FALL OFF THE TABLE.  
      LET'S WORK ON IT NOW.     
            COME ON.            
     CONCENTRATE. STRONGER.     
    GEE, THAT WAS VERY GOOD.    
      HOW DID YOU DO THAT?      
  I'M A MAGICIAN, AND, FRANKLY, 
I SEE THESE PSYCHICS CLAIM      
    THAT THEY CAN BEND SPOONS   
    BY PSYCHIC POWERS.          
IF THEY USE PSYCHIC POWERS,     
 AND I CAN DO IT THIS EASILY -- 
             WATCH.             
     JUST TURNING IT LIQUID     
     IN MY HANDS LIKE THAT      
 AND MAKING IT SUDDENLY DISSOLVE
    AND BEND UNTIL IT BREAKS.   
         IF I CAN DO IT         
    THAT EASILY BY TRICKERY,    
     AND THEY SAY THEY DO IT    
        BY PSYCHIC POWER,       
        WHAT DO YOU THINK       
      THE RIGHT ANSWER IS?
