Shots brings our attention to a wild prediction! It was to happen today ... and after a $700,000,000,000 Bail Out the Stock Market STILL falls over 500 Points!
The Prediction was for TODAY 10/07/08 and he hit it RIGHT ON!
AMAZING!!!!!!!

Oh yes. You can also hear me agree :)

WRONG ... the majority of the population thought that the 700 Billion would help slow things down.
They did NOT predict the biggest hit we've taken in five years!

Approximately 81minutes:
Starts stalking about some stock tracking system(webbot project) that allegedly can predict other things such as 9/11 and the Columbia tragedy.
Quick transcript:
"This program predicted something in January 2008. A big life changing event will occur on October 7th that will make 9/11 pale in comparison. This event will last for 4-6months. This is preceded by something from 9/22-27th a precursor event, likely a stock market crash probably related to the AIG collapse."

What a joke. The stock crash started last week. The caller already knew about the financial issues and the today's stock markets is "worst that 9/11"? Looks like nothing more than retrodicting. Of course the professor was in agreement using wishy-washy language. Boring.

Funny, everyone I've been hearing have been saying that the bailout may help eventually, but not right off the bat, and that we can expect further erratic behavior in the market...seems like very few people would have been surprised by this.

Since the caller did not predict that, your claim is utterly false.
The caller predicted something terrible that precedes a stock market collapse. Thanks for playing.

Open our minds to what? What are you on about? Do you think it was some physic power that generated this prediction? If so, provide us with evidence that this is the case. A prediction like this coming true isn't exactly magic.

What do you want us to open our minds to? We've considered your claim, which means we don't have closed minds. Duh. If we had closed minds, we'd not even listen.

"The OP has spoken." My someone has an overinflated sense of their importance.

Laughing my ass off at this talking in circles is what I'm doing. That doesn't make me a 'Snarky Basher'.

But wait, didn't I predict the 'snarky basher' (why you capitalize that I have no idea) on this thread. *ethereal voice* Oooooo, I'm stealing thoughts from your mind.

*Some place in the world will be hit by bad weather before the end of the year

* Despite the tanking economy, someone will lose his shirt in Vegas

* Several elderly celebreties will die over the course of the year

*A friend shall lose his friend's hammer, and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock.

Who made a great predicition and can you link to it please? Nothing you have shown so far consitutes anything great, since that would firstly imply someone predicting something specific that actually happens, and secondly involve a prediction that every single person with access to some kind of news service hasn't also made.

Lothian
8th October 2008, 04:24 AM
What is particularly crap is that by September the best hit that this program had come up with was 8 months earlier. Notwithstanding how unspecific and inaccurate the hit actually was, it makes you wonder how much junk the program has been churning out since.

The Professor, do you actually think that was a great manifestation of psychic ability? If you genuinely believe that, I'm afraid you will find that now people will feel sorry for you because you are self-deluding.

All of your antics before this have been evidence that you were being disingenuous at best. I'm trying to be charitable in only calling you disingenuous.

If you're starting to really believe your own hype about psychic powers and want to use this forum to try to get others to believe in them also, to try to get some confirmation from the very people whose opinions must be extremely important to you, and then to denigrate them with "snarky bashers" and "close minded", I think you're really looking for pity.

I'm not baiting or bashing, I'm just asking YOU to be open minded. Take a look at other self-deluded charlatans such as Sylvia Brown. Do you want to be like that? Do you think she believes in her own psychic ability? I believe in her cynic ability.

I don't mind you making a living at whatever you call your profession. I enjoy watching a good magician/entertainer as much as anyone. You coming here and trying to say, "See? Evidence of real psychic ability, all you close minded skeptics!" Absolutely knowing that something as lame as you've shown won't sway anyone here, what are you trying to accomplish with it?

This particular SHOW was "The Return of (Slim) King" or something like that. :)
Shots is a friend I invited to call in if he wanted to. He was MY GUEST on MY SHOW. (In the my first appearance Jeremiah offered to give me ALL of his SHOWS)

again ... The PROGRAM is Shadows in the Dark with Jeremiah Greer.

He was MY GUEST on MY SHOW. (In the my first appearance Jeremiah offered to give me ALL of his SHOWS)

again ... The PROGRAM is Shadows in the Dark with Jeremiah Greer.
Inane though it is,at 1:20 or thereabouts we hear "Welcome to Shadows in the dark I'm your host Jeremiah Greer..sitting besides me are my co-hosts blahblah""

Then at 7:50 "Lets just take a break..after we are talking to one of our favourite guests.... Professor Slim King"

Just goes to show how nit picky and WRONG you are once again :)

Care to retract that statement?
You are out of your depth on this forum.And you repeatedly twist the truth(polite way of saying it).

8th October 2008, 06:21 AM
Having an open mind requires considering possibilities other than psychic means for making predictions.

Since the professor has not considered other possibilities and the rest of us have, we can safely state that there is only one person posting in this thread (so far) with a closed mind.

Sad.....
The actual text of the prediction was (in Paximperium's transcript):
"This program predicted something in January 2008. A big life changing event will occur on October 7th that will make 9/11 pale in comparison. This event will last for 4-6months. This is preceded by something from 9/22-27th a precursor event, likely a stock market crash probably related to the AIG collapse."
He is "predicting" something that was already happening when he announced his prediction, and the stock market is taking hits practically every day, and we can safely say that it will continue. This is not very impressive.

It would be much better to have a transcript of his January 2008 program. Do you have one? I think it is very likely that the prediction then (if it ever happened) was toned down much more, and kept vague enough to fit a broad palette of events.

You will henceforth be called, "Professor Strawman".

Nobody but you can find where anyone says the Dow didn't drop 500 points, so I'm not understanding this:

and you deny it happened.

Nobody but you is saying that the caller displayed anything like psychic ability.

I'll ask you again, Professor Strawman, do you believe someone predicting the stock market falling is evidence of psychic ability? How about if someone predicts that the sun will come up tomorrow? I think both predictions have about the same chance of coming true.

Professor Strawman, if you believe that someone predicting those two events is psychic, I'm changing your name to Professor Gullible.

I have about 20-30 witnesses that I predicted the exact same thing! Was it a paranormal prediction? No it was not. Many people bet a certain number on a roulette wheel will hit and more often than not it does not, but, when it does they will jump and say "See! I knew it would hit!" I guess the question I have is how many predictions has he made? How many have been %100 correct? If the number is high and consistent than maybe it would be worth looking more into it.

Slim King/Psychic Samuari/The Professor, are you saying that what is going now with the stock markets is worse than the deaths of almost 3,000 people on 9/11?

I would think that the number of dead as a result of a global recession could be orders of magnitude higher than 9/11, yes; especially in poorer nations where there will be less money left over for mosquito nets, vaccinations, fuel or even food(either directly or through aid organizations).

Wouldn't even surprise me if more than 3 000 americans died as a result of a severe recession as I expect it will result in less people being able to receive a higher education and go on to do lifesaving energy, agriculture and medical research and development.

Ok so you got a hit and how many people call into this show each week and how many of their predictions have been right. My prediction is that you'd get a better hit rate by chance

I made a prediction on the show that is comming true as we type and SHOTS a member of the Magic Cafe made a prediction that he's been avid about for quite some time. His prediction hit 100%. There were NO other predictions made on the my show with Shadows in the Dark (That night).

I've hinted that I'm involved in a National Prediction that may come true this week. It will take place just a few miles from my home. I'm headed to the site now.

It was based on a Dream I had more than a week ago.

It involves someone who's I believe has passed over.
:cool::cool:

No one has ever denied who they are in relation to their names on the cafe or on the shows. I invite ALL my cyber friends to call in if they wish. No effort to hide anything.

You understand that for anyone to even to begin to think critically about your National Prediction, you need to announce it clearly beforehand right?

In fact, give us ANY prediction that beforehand and we we can begin to discuss whether you are actually predicting correctly and whether those predictions are paranormal in nature.

And once a Big Event happens this week, you'll postdict it? Why can't any of these people post a detailed prediction BEFORE a Big Event?

There isn't anything paranormal about retrofitting an event to a vague guess that SOMETHING will happen. You know, like happened on that radio show you've been touting.

I still notice that you didn't post any Dow closing numbers here to prove psychic ability. So I can't decide if you're self-deluded or just a hoaxer.

Ok, giving you one more chance. Post a DETAILED description here of whatever BIG EVENT you've foreseen in your dream. Notice that DETAILED does not mean "The stock market will fluctuate in the near term" or "Vandals will upset a grave marker near Devil's Chair someday".

1. Post a detailed description here of the upcoming Big Event and show that you truly believe in psychic ability and you're self-deluded.

2. Don't post a detailed description and admit that you don't believe in that garbage either, but it helps pay the bills.

Which will you choose?

Shots himself admits that he's only a mentalist and a magician, without any relation to psychic powers..

I get people who, knowing that I am a magician, an agnostic, a mentalist, etc. still tell me later that I have a psychic connection with them, that I can actually read their minds, etc. The only way I could really convince them that I am not would be to physically show them how I achieved the "reading" or effect....and I am not half as good as many of you here. I can only imagine if I billed myself as a reader and did Tarot readings. Even personal friends mistake what I do for real psychic skills. I have quit trying to dissuade them at this point.

THat said, tonight I met a woman who said she only became legally ordained so she could legally charge for psychic healing. I was appalled. If you really had psychic powers, and you charged people for healing them with those powers, isn't that unethical? To me it just struck a nerve.

As far as psychics go, I have to see/experience it to believe it. Until then, I remain unconvinced. If he didn't have his disclaimer, I might have been inclined to think Darren Brown was a psychic. Someone with his skills can be very convincing, as I am sure some of you can be. Hell, like I said, I have some folks who think ~I~ am psychic, and I'm just a low brow magician that dabbles into mentalism and bizarre magick. And the guy in that Area 51 YouTube video I linked above made my skin crawl! I love that kind of thing.

So looks like he doesn't think that his friend The Professor is psychic either, as he hasn't seen anything that managed to convince him such people exist.

What it shows is that the person who made the "prediction" is a skeptic, just like most of the other members here.

The Professor has made a fool of himself once again.

I've hinted that I'm involved in a National Prediction that may come true this week. It will take place just a few miles from my home. I'm headed to the site now.

It was based on a Dream I had more than a week ago.

It involves someone who's I believe has passed over.
:cool::cool:

No one has ever denied who they are in relation to their names on the cafe or on the shows. I invite ALL my cyber friends to call in if they wish. No effort to hide anything.

Bolding mine.
1.You have been spending too much time with Jim Callahan,your grammar is getting worse.

2.You invite them ,and then pretend you don't know them when they ring in.

Loser.:rolleyes:

I have just made a prediction about something that will occur in my kitchen within the next few minutes. I'm heading there now, so we'll see if it happens.

Aha! So you've chosen #2! Darn it, just as I was starting to think that you might amount to something.

I've made a prediction.It's in this sealed envelope which Im going to hang from the ceiling thorugh out my time on this forum.At the end I will open it to reveal a prediction.

Just make sure no-one goes near it. :)

I am not happy to see that Shot's prediction is continuing to come true despite your denials.

I'm losing a bit of cash as is everyone, and that makes this a bitter sweet victory over the all knowing critical thinkers who deny the truth about the stock market and it's plunge.

I see that you are jealous of Shots and his Correct Prediction. Seems the only things you guys can predict is your kitchen exploits. :)

I would think that the number of dead as a result of a global recession could be orders of magnitude higher than 9/11, yes; especially in poorer nations where there will be less money left over for mosquito nets, vaccinations, fuel or even food(either directly or through aid organizations).

Wouldn't even surprise me if more than 3 000 americans died as a result of a severe recession as I expect it will result in less people being able to receive a higher education and go on to do lifesaving energy, agriculture and medical research and development.

You are 100% correct!

Not to mention Suicide, loss of medical insurance in America, US poverty, retirement funds and living condition downgrades, (Hundred actually freeze to death each winter among the elderly) a global rise in violence, and subsequent wars in third world countries facing starvation.

Just to name a few.

What are you talking about? No one is denying that the stock market is in trouble. Are you so dishonest that you make up lies about what others have said? Of course you are! Why would I even ask that.

We deny that it was a psychic prediction. Nothing about what is going on is going to prove that, and you, and your 'guest' (another think you lied about) aren't willing to do what it takes to provide evidence that it is.

You can go ahead thumping your chest. No one here is stupid enough to be moved by someone who twists the truth as much as you do. Zero credibility is hard to come back from.

I live in Denmark, and for some years our newspapers have reported that the U.S. was in an economic bubble that could burst at any time. I do not see any psychic powers were necessary to predict that an economic catastrophe was about to unfold.

Besides, your friend Shots was just quoting what a computer program had gathered from the internet. Where is the paranormal element here?

And finally, you claimed that the prediction was mentioning a specific date, but there had been drops in the value of stocks before that date, during, and after. So how good is the prediction of a specific date when it is really just one out of many when the predicted event happens?

I'm not. In fact, with interest rates on my mortgage lower than they've ever been and a recent pay rise, I'm a lot better off than I was before.

Not to mention Suicide

What makes you think suicides are going to be a problem? Bear in mind that the suicide rate after the Wall Street crash was lower than it was before.

a global rise in violence, and subsequent wars in third world countries facing starvation.

Yeah, that's going to make a huge difference. Considering how much violence and how many wars there are anyway, I'm not sure how you could get a significant increase without a proper world war.

Word of advice - leave the predictions to others. Your knowledge and analysis skills are as bad as your psychic ones.

Professor can you explain why you get your "friends" (Shots,Callahan)to ring up a radio show you are on and pretend to be a random caller?
Is it because no one listens to the internet radio show and no one cares about your rubbish magic tricks?

Quote you on the prediction show "Well Ive not heard of that(ref:Shots)have you Jeremiah?"

You tell a pack of lies on this forum,on Magic Cafe and on internet radio shows.

Last week on the Shadows in the Dark Radio Show,
http://www.shadowsinthedarkradio.com/shows/2008/09/28.html (80 minutes in)
Shots brings our attention to a wild prediction! It was to happen today ... and after a $700,000,000,000 Bail Out the Stock Market STILL falls over 500 Points!
The Prediction was for TODAY 10/07/08 and he hit it RIGHT ON!
AMAZING!!!!!!!

Oh yes. You can also hear me agree :)

And did you have so much confidence in your friend and faith in his psychic abilities that you acted upon his extremely accurate prediction and moved your money into safer bonds, like the JREF?
