With all due respect Brutha, I don't think you fully understood the challenge. In it, I set forth very specific rules about the type and order of the information that must be delivered in order to have the reading count. For instance, both the intuitive and the inquirer must first correctly identify the spiritual source (without a single mistake) from whom the information is being delivered. That identification must possess at least 2 genealogical identifiers (i.e. not acceptable="Uncle" Acceptable="Your Mother's older brother").

Keep in mind that all verbal and visual communication between the intuitive/inquirer and the subject is strictly forbidden. The only exception to this is that the intuitive/inquirer can look at a Polaroid picture of the subject's shoes.

There are also other parameters in place that prevent cold reading to be presented as a reason for the higher success rate of the intuitive over the inquirer. So many in fact, that I am 100% confident that a mentalist like Darren Brown can not score better than me in the i2i challenge.

Please explain to me how you can dismiss this challenge as proving cold reading, or not at least raising the question, how does the intuitive receive their information.

Thank you.
