I keep thinking it is all bunk then my wife puts on Johnathan Edward.

I would like to see some shows about remote viewing using psychics and the Mythbusters.

I would like to know the opinions of the Mythbusters on psychic stuff.

Edward is merely another in a long long line of con men.
He sees the future only insofar as he "sees" how to make your money his money and make you want to give it to him.
The best (most famous) psychics do this painlessly to the mark they've selected.
Remote viewing is another con game.

The stuff he says is so specific and he has done it so often. Why has nobody busted him by now?

Years ago Johnny Carson busted Uri Geller but no one has busted Edward.

Lot's of once skeptical cops swear by psychics.

I still have a open mind about it.

Generally they should be considered con men until they win James Randis US$ 1 million...

.
Fools are born every minute.
There's always a larger supply of willing fools that wish to be made more foolish than there are people who care about relieving their fears by showing them to be fools.
These fools are the natural prey of the Edwards/Geller types.
And late night, or even prime time, has no one of Carson's status or interest in busting these con men.

They have.

This belongs in the Oogie-Boogie section.

John Edwards is as much a psychic as Criss Angel is magic. They are both great entertainers that are at the top of their game.

I have been told that Edwards requires his audience to fill out 'questionnaires' prior to participating... making his job so much easier.

Definitely one for the Oogie-Boogie Board.
