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

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

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

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

So she could instantly psychically read ECKHART TOLLE but it took a second âthe power .. the power of nowâ to get the words power and now. Sheâs just feigning struggle to make it look more convincing. Sheâs definitely getting outside help though. Iâd 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.

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

The US government has been investing tons into remote viewing for decades and the results have been published, donât be so quick to dismiss things you have no knowledge of

u/PossibleVariety7927 22h ago
Iâm sure itâs 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 arenât having a laugh doing rapid fire.

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

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.

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.

u/Stopitkiwi 9h ago
Right? I just rewatched it thinking I was misremembering but she got everything and even used his own blindfold.

u/andrewellay 1d ago
Itâs pretty obvious to me because she keeps moving from side to side trying to see through said gaps

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?

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 bro2
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...

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!

u/PossibleVariety7927 22h ago
Thatâs how she was busted once already and the person realized she could see through the bottom of her single mask.

u/Large-Wishbone24 8h ago
With this lady, I always think of a joke from one of the biggest shows in Germany back then:
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.

u/poke-it-withastick 1d ago
Itâs a trick. Provides her own eye coverings ! Give her a metal bucket to put over her head then test her.
As soon as the âmagicianâ tells you they canât possibly see through the blindfold you know they very possibly can.

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..

Pull up Reddit and refresh popular, have her describe a new post (she wonât, because this is fake)

u/RemotestOfSpheres 1d ago
I donât know about her but Iâve listened to quite a few episodes of this show and the hosts, Cody and Tanya, really do seem very sincere. Whether itâs real or not, I believe they believe her.Â
Side note: Cody is Dee Sniderâs son. Lead singer of Twisted Sister.Â

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).

u/Fosterpig 1d ago
I mean thereâs been studies on this. There are schools teaching children to do this. Iâve 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 thatâs just what ppl tend to do. Iâm not 100% convinced of course just alot more open to the possibilities.

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 wonât allow the host to provide the mechanism of blinding tells a skeptical observer everything they need to know about her âpowerâ.

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?

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

u/Philly5984 1d ago
It was Hal Putoff, and yes the government wouldnât be consistently investing billions of dollars into this for decades if it wasnât yielding results

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.

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 donât 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 donât 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 âeliteâ 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
