This is a situation that comes to cross many psychics' minds. Think carefully before commenting and be prepared; this experience is almost inevitable...

A supreme skeptic of the nth level of education approaches and your eyes rise to meet their piercing gaze. They speak of hearing that you claim to have supernatural abilites and they want cold, hard, scientific facts. You say...

"Both human stupidity and ingenuity are truly a wonderous marvel."

That's what I would say.

Also there are people who will really believe in your powers but will also label you as devil's son or alike. Smart is who ain't getting exposed.

@Najee, don't forget your audience may interfere with your energy, yet if subcounsciously. Overcome them!

Najee, this wasn't directed (intentionally, anyways) in any way towards you. And I know it's good to be a healthy skeptic... I was just using "THAT [wannabe] skeptic" as an example.

First-hand experience is the one that I lack. It seems that litterally every time I try to do telekinesis for the guys in my neighborhood, I can't do it. I know it has something to do with more than a couple of people being present. If I try to do telekinesis for too many people (they all want to gather around like it's a show |:) than it fails. I feel it's because I am unable to concentrate.

Also, being a skeptic is not a bad thing at all.

It would actually be reeeeaaaally good if the kids on this site had more of a skeptical approach. Being a skeptic doesn't have to mean that you completely write things off as false. It just means that you're not gullible and you want a sound explanation of why something happened, as well as first-hand experience.

e=mc^2 and other studies of energy.

Also, I would tell him about parapsychology, as it is a psychological science dedicated to exploring psychic ability and other paranormal anomalies. It is also a credible science (not a pseudo-science), so that makes it even better.

If he didn't listen after that, I'd tell him that he's entitled to his belief, but I would also ask him not to force his belief on me. If he was rude about it, I'd tell him to fuck off, and then I'd leave. :3

Being a skeptic isn't dumb, in fact it's smart to aproach things like this as a skeptic. If you simply believe someone when they claim to do telekinesis or any other "paranormal" ability, then you truly are the idiotic one. If you approach a skeptic with a "paranormal" subject without any evidence, then you are truly at fault.

The correct way to approach them is to provide either undeniable proof or issue them a simple challange. My challange is this:

Watch my video of voicing commands while controlling the psi wheel and prove it false - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlVZPSs-5R0

It's impossible to prove false because it defies all possible scientific explaination. Not static, heat, or air can move a psi wheel like that at you whim.

I know that this is at least half-directed at me. I'm in this situation every week as the phsycic.
