If this fake gypsy could read my mind he’d know what was in the sphere, A GUN. A gun I’d use to drill him full of holes and then I’d turn and kill this stupid cop and shoot the camera man.

No amount of editing was able to redeem the conceptual fiasco that came from Pillsbury’s tired marketing department, confirmation to the young Rudy Perz that perhaps his “magical doughboy” idea wasn’t quite so preposterous.

In the 1950′s law enforcement tried some unorthodox interrogation techniques. In the picture above New Jersey police were trying to use superstition to coerce a confession out of a reputed mob boss’s wife. The Chief of Police (who had a failed career on Broadway) often dressed up for the part.

Unfortunately, Master Rajip was unaware of the cruel joke the other actors were playing on him that night. The crystal ball was replaced with a silver balloon filled with a nasty surprise. The back stage pranks have been long going on long enough and it high time he got his. ON CAMERA.

Night, after night, after night they sat there waiting for Lewis to levitate the moon ball. The sponsors were loosing interest. The live audience had taken to milling around in the isles, Joe the cop really wasn’t a cop. The grip man was clutching the camera for sanity and any moment Lewis would break out in a sweat, again, night, after night, after night. WAIT a minute! Is that movement?!!! No, the witness sighed.

Habib introduces the world to the latest craze in the world of the supernatural: Psychic Bleaching.
Instead of a human test subject, a simple bright red, blue, and green beach ball was used.
The preliminary psychic bleaching tests performed on Michael Jackson had not been as successful as Habib had hoped.

Billy: “Well, I was out by the swing with the other students and we were playing frisbee. I was just running along like everyone else and the next thing I knew I was flat on my face. When I looked at my feet, I saw this giant ball that I had tripped over. Honest!”
Officer: “I’m not buying it.”

Tragically, it all fell apart when the director yelled “cut!” and the police whipped out a knife and cut a large chunk out of her voluminous pastry.
