Reminder that there used to be a $1,000,000 prize available for anyone who could display any sort of supernatural powers that remained unclaimed for 20 years. The challenge rules required that both parties agree upon the test setup, and several people actually tried to claim it and all failed. It astounds me that anyone still believes in this nonsense and that it seems to be becoming even more popular to believe in literal magic and other supernatural idiocy.

Do it again, but with the magical powers of theism instead of witchcraft.

Pfft. They have had that covered for centuries.

I looked for the video and came across a reddit thread about it. Here are two really funny comments:

I think its rather silly to say the least especially since curses require a certain amount of anger and hatred that im sure next to nobody feels to this person.

Oh yeah that's why it didn't work

Magic requires willpower and intention to use properly. I doubt any of these randos on the internet actually possessed the genuine desire or emotional investment to actually curse a random guy on the internet who had heretofore never interacted with them

Anyone who actually understood this likely didnt rise to the bait.

No true witch!

So, they're saying that the magic is real, but I can't just go to a crazy old crone's potions shop and purchase a curse on someone because that's not how it works? Well, that's disappointing.

Edit: "no true witch" = hilarious

I'll be that a witch told him to do this.

A gag like this discourages the amateurs and helps the real ones stay under cover.

The witch subculture is on the same level as kids who start channeling their chi to kamehameha a bully

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's not true, the kids will figure out they're cosplaying eventually.

I mean I'd say I don't believe in witchcraft but I wouldn't take on this challenge, so I guess I do believe in witchcraft

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Mark Twain said he didn't believe in ghosts, but they scare the hell out of him.
