Jim's rope effect is his own creation...developed it many, many years ago. Incredibly clever methodology.
I think he chose to perform that effect because he was making a statement about what this show was really about...'cause it sure wasn't mentalism. As an added bonus...I bet Criss Angel is still scratching his head in wonder. Best, Mick

Exactly Terry!
It was pointless. The goal was to have a CHALLENGE - money on the line - reputations on the line - something with dramatic tension... In the end.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Who cares if it was switched because there was no effect! Talk about anticlimax. Oh well, maybe Jim will be a guest on the season premiere of MINDFREAK. Hey CA dressed up for the night! EEHHH

Whatever - Jimbo basically demo'd a magic effect and showed the scope of the Paranormalist.
Anyone who still thinks he claims real supernatural powers after that.... please check into Bellvue. Oh, my next prediction - Angela Funovits will be the Big Winner overall.

I had this "sick" feeling when Criss showed the prediction. I'm not here to knock him...I just felt it really wasn't in good taste. I realize that he wanted to make a point, but it just didn't leave me with a very good feeling. I would have much rather seen a

Ah - you are finally seeing the aspect of CA many of us do not enjoy either. It was too heavy, preachy, and tasteless. This is an entertainment show.
Note to CA: Stop listening to Randi and enjoy yourself. It is time for the 4 ghosts to visit you.

There were a number of things I didn't agree with (and why just be a parrot?), but some here responded in ways that were overboard (making fun of his lisp, etc). Those comments and some others were way out of line - and there seemed to be some jumping to conclusions, which I questioned. Terry

That was Jim's way of Mocking the process and the fact that he was not allowed to take the challenge as he was asked to do and was willing to take...Bad Form NBC.
No Million in cash either..Seemed CA cut off URI amid sentance to open the dual envelope( Taking no chances by not allowing anyone to guess and the ability to switch if they did get it) Kind of Sucked. I'm glad Jim has gotten a few hundred thousand more hits on his website ![]()

CA is just rude to everyone...I'm not sure what Uri was going to say...I'm glad you were.
Where was the million...I didn't see one. I was sure there wouldn't be. ![]() Please help me out, as I don't watch much TV and NEVER the reality kind...Don't we get to vote on the winners? Is it standard NOT TO? I honestly don't know.

But who voted between Angela and Super for tonigths show?? Or was that decided last week too?

Everybody who wanted to vote voted last week. Tonight's performance wasn't part of the competition, it was part of the entertainment. Super and Funovitz were the two highest vote-getters last week, and Mike got more than Angela.

There were 4 to vote for last week (Guy was brought back on by Criss and Uri). The voting was done for 2 hours (I believe) after the show. The results were in by the next day and it was revealed tonight, a week later.
