Anyone who can demonstrate paranormal ability in a scientifically designed test is eli gible to win the reward. Several have attempted to take our money and fa iled. Worldwide\, paranormal claimants have never passed a well designed test of their abilities. While parlor tricks and cold reading technique s have served to foster the general public's belief in psychic (and othe r) abilities\, they have thus far been insufficient to fool legitimate i nvestigators.\n\n On Sunday\, May 6\, the IIG will conduct two tests of paranormal ability. In the first\, a man will attempt to win $50\,00 0 in what we hope will be a closely-watched examination. In the second\, audience members will have the opportunity to win a $100 cash prize if they pass a simple psychic exercise. Winners will be paid on the spot.\n \n We invite any and all to attempt to win the $100 cash. Skeptical visitors may be more interested in catching a cheater in the first test. \n\n$6\, or free for Friends of the Center.\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE!\ n\nFriends of the Center may opt to reserve seats: \n(323) 666-9797 ext. 102\,or email: info@cfiwest.org\n\nTo learn more about the IIG\, please visit www.iigwest.com.
