What is james hydrick?

James Hydrick is a convicted felon and former self-proclaimed psychic who gained notoriety in the 1980s for his apparent ability to move objects with his mind. He claimed to have developed psychic powers as a child and began performing various "mind-over-matter" demonstrations on television shows and in live performances.

However, Hydrick's abilities were debunked by investigators, including magician James Randi, who exposed his tricks and methods as simple sleight of hand and manipulation. Hydrick later admitted to fraud and deception, and in 1989 he was convicted of child molestation and sentenced to 17 years in prison.

Since his release from prison, Hydrick has maintained a low profile and is not known to have been involved in any further criminal activities. He has expressed regret for his past actions and stated that he no longer claims to have any psychic powers.
