A thread for any famous medium, psychic etc. that has clearly been caught out in any way at all. (There'll probably be many on Uri Geller!)

Wouldn't it be better to find someone who was 'healed' by a well known healer and check if it was a fake like this?
I mean, it is obviously rather easy to invent fake ways of healing people and then expose these as being fake.
I went to an acupuncturist with arthritic pain, and I can tell you he did heal me. I guess many people would claim that acupuncturists also heal in this way.

Yeah I do think there are a variety of potentially useful psychic healing type effects.
Similarly with other paranormal phenomena, it actually has made me think most religious figures likely were just gifted with Psi abilities assuming they had any supernatural abilities at all.
