The Stupidest Man in the World

Sometimes, it's really expensive to have no critical thinking skills at all. Meet the
con artist's dream.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Damn. He missed his calling for being a Mormon.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It is too bad that not all people who claim to be psychics are charged with fraud.

That guy is scary moronic. It's amazing what people will fall for.

The guy is exactly the type David Hannum (not P.T. Barnum) was talking about when he said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

For a small donation, I'll make the spirit of blind gullibility depart the victim permanently. Cost of 2x4: $10,000.

Anyone who sells these kind of "powers" for money should have to undergo one simple scientific test to demonstrate they can actually provide the service they claim to. That should see numbers drop by 100%. I wonder how many would even turn up to try and make their case? Those that don't are just admitting it's all bullshit.
