Taken from a show by Shermer, from the late 90's or early 00's by the looks of things:
The first experiment is plain old cold reading, but the later parts are, I have to admit, pretty impressive... at least at face value. The lack of a second part makes me very suspicious of the idea that Shermer wasn't able to refute it in any way. After all, if he can't refute it and the programme just ends, then one would expect the astrologers to also post that everywhere they could, cackling madly.
I've been hunting around for the rest of the programme, but can't even seem to find the name of it. :|
Anyone know where to find the rest of this programme? Or see anything wrong with the tests carried out?
