Randi $1,000,000 paranormal challenge

If you can move things with your mind, if you can predict the future, if you can even see an aura: now is the time to prove it. "a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power."

All you need to do is get a local media outlet or other qualifying skeptics group to check out and report on/preliminarily witness a demonstration of your power in action. The rules are simple, sensible, and open to public scrutiny.

In January 2008, the JREF announced that the offer of the million dollar prize will cease on March 6, 2010.
