Man, the possibilities! No, certainly I would NOT enter the Randi challenge if I had such powers. I have far better ideas that require anonymity.
And yet there are a number of "psychics" who aren't anonymous and who make hundreds and hundreds of $$ from poor families wishing to communicate with dead relatives (Sylvia Browne, for example). If they are already making money out of their abilities, why not go an extra step and face up to Randi?
