Oh puh-leeze. This is so obviously a hoax it’s insulting.

There are many examples of people claiming to have pseudo-scientific powers, and when tested in a lab, manage to fool the so-called experts with a little trickery.

Years ago, a young Russian girl claimed to have psychic powers and fooled dozens of “experts” by reading from books while blindfolded. They all claimed she was the real deal. James Randi, famous magician and skeptic, tested her, and found that yes, indeed, she could read while blindfolded. Then he had her repeat the test with a piece of paper under her chin. Lo and behold, her powers disappeared. Turns out she was reading thru a tiny crack between her cheeks and the bottom of the blindfold.

Yup, definitely bullshit. This is an old method used by magicians and charlatains alike over the years, anyone can do it. I wouldn’recommend trying it yourself, though, without consulting someone in the know.

Cool. If you had a daughter you would do the same to be rich and famous, right? Every father would gladly go out and buy some crystals, then insert them in her daugters eyes.

If those crystals really materialize behind her eyes, I would eat my hat. Damn, I shouldn’t say that, my mom made me chew on my old cowboy hat, after we saw a ball lightning.

I’ll bet the father can pull a gerbil out of his ass too!
