Derren brown would probably be able to take the challenge, he doesn't claim supernatural powers though lol.
He's pretty rich already and doesn't try to make too big of a name for himself, so probably not interested.

Anyone who is interested should watch his shows, youtube has most.


Well, there are plenty of hypnotists and illusionists just like Derren Brown, but nobody has won the challenge yet.

Well, if you truly believe that you, or your grandmother, or someone else is capable of supernatural feats, then you've got a million bucks to win!

I've always loved that it is a thing. So many people claim to have these bullshit powers, funny how nobody has succeeded the challenge >.<

Indeed, it's funny how many people claim to have some kind of power, but i also think that challenge is stupid for two reasons:

If those kind of psychic powers in fact exist, people gifted with them must be a kind of special person without greeds.

Perhaps i take the challenge, but who guarantees i will receive the million dollar? What if i appear all over the news and people know about the ability? What if that person spends the rest of his life in the cell of a scientific laboratory?

Seems like something they'd agree to if it could help mankind.

I see no reason why people with psychic powers would be kind and without greed. What draws you to that conclusion?
As an added note to that, how would competing in the challenge make somebody greedy? Using your abilities to earn money is neither unkind or greedy.
In fact, to compete in the challenge and then donate the winnings would be quite the opposite of unkind and greedy.
Also, your second "reason" is not a discredit to the challenge at all. What if those things did happen? Neither of those outcomes occur before or during the challenge nor do they affect it in any way that I can think of.

UNLESS...


said psychic powers show them a future world torn apart by new "weapons" created of the research done to them.

O.O
