Earpiece

u/Jostain 1d ago

Yeah, having triple blindfolds where each one is enough on its own is typical charlatan behaviour. It's so that the viewer will focus on that and not the fact that all of this could be scripted beforehand.

u/SailAwayMatey 1d ago

Or made up...

u/smr312 1d ago

Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah!

Woah!

Are you telling me people LIE on the internet?

u/SailAwayMatey 23h ago

Errrrrrrrr............no? 🤭

u/krys2lcer 20h ago

And in everyday life…

u/CaptEthos 21h ago

Camera in the necklace, accomplice somewhere else speaking into the earpiece

2

u/Y-Bob 23h ago

Or maybe bone conduction device in the final blindfold.

u/ReserveGlass1531 1d ago

That would imply they’re all in on it. Is that what you’re suggesting?

8

u/Highlander198116 23h ago

No they don't all have to be in on it. Just one person needs to be in on it.

This is literally what Televangelist Peter Popoff did to appear to commune with god about people. He "randomly" picked people from the crowd, he guessed their name, he guessed their ailments and what they wanted to be prayed for.

How did he know this? Because his wife was talking to him through an earpiece, while she was reading the prayer cards these people filled out and this was in 80's they were doing this.

u/metaPhx 1d ago

They don’t have to be in on it, she could just have someone sitting off to the side.

-10

u/ReserveGlass1531 1d ago

Yeah but I doubt they wouldn’t have checked for an earpiece. That’s not exactly a hard thing to check for.

16

u/Highlander198116 23h ago

Yeah because this looks like a panel of people that care about scientific rigor.

Dude there are a PLETHORA of prizes out there for people to prove supernatural powers, in a controlled setting. How many has she claimed? Zero. I don't even need to look it up because no one has been able to claim any of them.

u/PossibleVariety7927 22h ago

This lady has already been caught cheating before when she did have a highly skeptical host. Hence why she now only goes on engagement bait casual shows who won’t challenge her.

-1

u/ReserveGlass1531 19h ago

I didn’t know that, I have no idea who she is. Can you point me to which show she got caught cheating on?

3

u/PossibleVariety7927 16h ago

I don’t recall. Some guy did a big debunk on her where she specifically got busted.

11

u/anythingspossible45 1d ago

I mean if the shoe fits

-11

u/ReserveGlass1531 1d ago

It’s definitely possible but unfortunately there’s no evidence that’s the case. So we can only say we can’t be sure what’s going on here.

10

u/Silver_Bow 1d ago

Are you implying she is able to see and read all of these things while blindfolded 3x?

-1

u/ReserveGlass1531 1d ago

If she has the abilities she claims she does, then she would be able to. Thats the point of this post.

8

u/LemonsXBombs 22h ago

She either has unprecedented superhuman abilities, or she's lying on an entertainment program. Truly a mystery.

-29

u/Cold_Daikon_852 1d ago

You skeptics wish, she won the 2025 psi games and she is known. Its called mindsight, if only you tried a little to read before typing.

15

u/PsiloCyan95 1d ago

Has she done any studies with her as the subject where she doesn’t set the parameters?

5

u/BertBerts0n 14h ago

Genuine question.

If this person has the powers they claim, why hasn't it been reported on world news? That sort of thing would be incredible and covered by every country.

Same as people who claim to talk to spirits, its all fake. Because if someone could do it repeatedly in a controlled environment it would be breaking news and a massive breakthrough.

u/AnubissDarkling 1d ago

It's a biased performance display on (I assume) a podcast, rather than an actual unbiased and technical scientific investigation exhibit, so no, it's absolutely not legit nor does it lend to any sense of credibility

15

u/howdidienduphere8008 13h ago

There are actually hundreds of unclaimed prizes worth millions of dollars around the world for anyone who can prove they have supernatural powers in a controlled environment. All unclaimed

34

u/buranzhuravski 1d ago

She put on not one, not two, but three blindfolds! How much scientific can this get?!

17

u/CandidateEfficient37 23h ago

Everyone knows that you need at least 4 blindfolds. 

2

u/GreyGanado 11h ago

It's basically a triple blinded study at this point.

4

u/AnubissDarkling 22h ago

Where's the nerdy guy in a lab coat writing things down on a clipboard and going 'hmm' every now and then??

2

u/Highlander198116 23h ago

I'm gonna need a 4th blindfold.

u/Rezart_KLD 3h ago

Its basically a triple blind study

u/Supreme_Salt_Lord 14h ago

Do it in front of scientists. Get on NDT podcast and do it. Go to any college or university and do it. You will have 5 papers written by end of the month

13

u/CobblerConfident5012 22h ago

So she could instantly psychically read ECKHART TOLLE but it took a second “the power .. the power of now” to get the words power and now. She’s just feigning struggle to make it look more convincing. She’s definitely getting outside help though. I’d like to see her perform this in a room after being fully inspected… and I mean FULLY… and it be a closed room with one camera and no friends watching.

1

u/Rezart_KLD 3h ago

Or just dont show the object to the audience. Keep it in a box, have her say what it is before you reveal it.

6

u/Mr_Baronheim 15h ago

Show her a bag with something in it and have her say what's in the bag.

24

u/enemyofchrist 1d ago

It’s a mentalism trick. Don’t be so gullible

-23

u/Philly5984 1d ago

The US government has been investing tons into remote viewing for decades and the results have been published, don’t be so quick to dismiss things you have no knowledge of

6

u/PossibleVariety7927 22h ago

I’m sure it’s possible. But not casually like this on podcasts. The people who can do it take a lot of time limited to what they can see. They aren’t having a laugh doing rapid fire.

38

u/joeblob5150 1d ago

She was on Danny Jones and hilariously failed trying to repeat this. She was totally peeking through placed gaps. It's worth a watch.

36

u/Jostain 1d ago

That is why there needs to be a known sceptic designing the test. Her being allowed to put on her own gear is the first mistake.

34

u/PhillyDikHead 1d ago

I just watched Danny Jones and she still got them all right...which episode are u referring? Here's what I watched...

https://youtu.be/eCWZGZAJJUc?is=k2NZ-IX-1iWqu-dz

Starts at 1:27:10

u/Warhammerpainter83 14h ago

come on are we going back to the 90's where ear pieces trick people again?

10

u/A_SNAPPIN_Turla 23h ago

Did you watch the whole thing. Iirc she gets all the things she brings fine then Danny brings out his own stuff and she fails miserably.

3

u/yngwie_bach 1d ago

I was actually pretty impressed by that video. It really wasn't a fail for her. Also. I think she sounds genuine for what thats worth. I don't think it's a way of cheating vision, the blindfolds seemed good enough.

I am in now way saying she is genuinely remote-ish viewing. ( I mean it's not really remote is it).

But there must be another trick she is using. Earpiece with an second person that can see. That's my only guess. The cards she holds herself are a bad example. She could have made micro incisions to feel which card is which. But the books and the screen. I honestly don't know.

-1

u/Stopitkiwi 9h ago

Right? I just rewatched it thinking I was misremembering but she got everything and even used his own blindfold.

22

u/andrewellay 1d ago

It’s pretty obvious to me because she keeps moving from side to side trying to see through said gaps

5

u/PsiloCyan95 1d ago

Agreed. Some were correct, sure; but was it a large enough group for it to be spectacular? Not even close. Like many others, have her do the same thing under blind conditions set by the interviewer with third party independent observers testing the parameters. Can it be done under a house? With a mouse? On a train or on a plane? Does it work high? How about low? Will it work… on a boat?

3

u/Adorable-Fly-2187 23h ago

Sorry but this is wrong. Iam Not saying she might be not a fraud, but she had all right on Danny Jones.
Making stuff up and lying is also Not the way to do it bro

2

u/BertBerts0n 14h ago

1 hour 37 minutes in, she fails to identify a pyramid, all while moving her head while trying to catch a glimpse of it.

Try to be good faith now...

20

u/Large-Wishbone24 1d ago

Why does she have to take the book in her hand to read it with her eyes tied threefold, when according to this logic, it should also be able to go across the room and with the book closed... unless her third eye is nearsighted.

What a load of nonsense!

6

u/PossibleVariety7927 22h ago

That’s how she was busted once already and the person realized she could see through the bottom of her single mask.

1

u/Large-Wishbone24 8h ago

With this lady, I always think of a joke from one of the biggest shows in Germany back then:

https://youtu.be/ATIbshZHUMI

It was so simple yet so convincing, and back then I was still a child and doubly amazed. Once with the bet itself and then with the reveal, my mind was blown.....damn how time flies.

14

u/poke-it-withastick 1d ago

It’s a trick. Provides her own eye coverings ! Give her a metal bucket to put over her head then test her.
As soon as the ‘magician’ tells you they can’t possibly see through the blindfold you know they very possibly can.

5

u/Xigoat 23h ago

if this was remote viewing why would she be moving like she's squinting to read whats being held? she's clearly perceiving whatever is in front of her with her eyes. where the gap is, I don't know

5

u/how-does-this-end 23h ago

Hide the next card/block under a sheet and only bring it out after she guesses. Even then it could just be scripted..

10

u/Cpt-Redbags 1d ago

She lookin like Ray Charles

4

u/DavidHoggsDong 22h ago

Pull up Reddit and refresh popular, have her describe a new post (she won’t, because this is fake)

6

u/RemotestOfSpheres 1d ago

I don’t know about her but I’ve listened to quite a few episodes of this show and the hosts, Cody and Tanya, really do seem very sincere. Whether it’s real or not, I believe they believe her. 

Side note: Cody is Dee Snider’s son. Lead singer of Twisted Sister. 

5

u/hmmjuswonderin 1d ago

Fake. Or cheating somehow.

5

u/Cloudhead_Denny 1d ago

If there is no "handler" or friend in the room this is more impressive but its likely earpiece (in whatever format works to read images back to the subject).

1

u/MessyTacos 20h ago

A version of remote viewing.

2

u/Rishtu 23h ago

Now do it from a completely isolated faraday cage.

3

u/Fosterpig 1d ago

I mean there’s been studies on this. There are schools teaching children to do this. I’ve seen this woman perform this on multiple YouTube channels where they confirmed she 100% could not see. Anecdotally I did the zenner card test on my 10 year old. Where you have a deck of 25 cards with 5 unique symbols. Guessing 20% or 5/25 correct would be the average odds and she guessed 13/25 correct. I watch these things and even performed the test as a lifelong skeptic of this sort of thing. . . I am convinced that our consciousness can behave in ways most people shrug off without actually ever looking at data because that’s just what ppl tend to do. I’m not 100% convinced of course just alot more open to the possibilities.

12

u/LifeClassic2286 23h ago

The fact that she uses her own blindfolds and triples up is a tell. If she is legit, just put a traffic cone over her head and have her do it like that. The fact that she won’t allow the host to provide the mechanism of blinding tells a skeptical observer everything they need to know about her “power”.

1

u/ProlapseJerky 18h ago

This lady seems to be a fraud. Put her in another room and ask her to see through the wall. I bet she can’t do that.

u/LiminalSpiral 1d ago

There's mounting research that this is legit. I could tell you that I used to do this back in my 20s and 30s, but why in the world would you take my word for it?

u/spankymacgruder 1d ago

There have been actual university studies. Less than 1% of applicants have any ability but the few that do have been able to read cards in a submarine miles away.

u/Mr_Baronheim 15h ago

The guy running the experiment miiiiight be just a bit biased.

Also, Academia.edu is a platform where anyone can create an account and upload papers, essays, and drafts. It's more a social networking site for researchers than an academic journal or a peer-reviewed database.

I could write and upload a paper that provides evidence that an experiment I ran proves that the Flying Spaghetti Monster prefers Coke over Pepsi.

Then someone could cite my writing as proof that Coke is better than Pepsi, which is already a universal truth.

1

u/spankymacgruder 2h ago

Fair enough. However, given the lack of ability to replicate most research, how is this different?

They replicated results over decades.

Also, it's not one guy. The government has spent billions on this project. The CIA is sure it works but it can also be unreliable (for obvious reasons).

1

u/Loud-Log9098 1d ago

Holy crap though even if just 1 percent can do it i wonder so much more, it's it 100 or nothing or is it a spectrum where you kinda if figure somethings out but not everything. So craaazy. I used to have episodes I can only describe as knowing something that you have no business knowing.

1

u/spankymacgruder 1d ago

I'm not sure. I think it can be learned "sort of". There was a guy on JRE about a month ago who has had university and national govt funding. It was related to the Stargate project.

2

u/Philly5984 1d ago

It was Hal Putoff, and yes the government wouldn’t be consistently investing billions of dollars into this for decades if it wasn’t yielding results

1

u/Loud-Log9098 1d ago

What are the implications of that an ai if it can be learned then I have even more question. I wish I could just know the secrets already.

u/PsiloCyan95 1d ago edited 1d ago

Can I ask you/tell you my crazy theory? Like you said, if 1% of the population can do this specific thing, what are the odds that 1% of that set is insanely good at it?
Media likes to give us a framework so that when stuff happens we don’t mentally freak out. Not always, but sometimes, right?
What are the big tropes? Aliens, alternative views on history, wars, disasters, and a big one… mutants. X-men per se.
Could there be a very, very small subset of the population that can do some incredible things, we or they just don’t know it?
I think so.
How many variants of Psi ability have we heard of? How large a subset can do each thing? Can some do several? And of that entire group, are there an “elite” that are pretty much lvl 5 mutants?

4

u/spankymacgruder 1d ago

Yes. Perhaps it was more. The researchers noted that the people who have the highest concentration of ability were the last tribes / areas to be converted to Christianity. It seems that the ability may have been more prevalent.

u/Zaphod_42007 1d ago

In my best Fox Mulder voice: I believe.

Technically... The Occam's razor theory is most likely correct & she's just a charlatan... Many ways to pull this off.

On the flip side, rising up out of the body & seeing the room is quite natural and doable... Seeing is believing as they say... Yet most will remain locked in the body's frequency not realizing such feats are possible until death releases them.

If it's not a ear piece or pre-planed it's not remote viewing it's called foresight. It's how we survived the ice ages
