James randi only sets up tests that are designed to fail. Do you think it would have gone to air if the astrologer had made any money?

Yes. Tests are designed with the full co-operation and agreement of the person making the claim. This was true of this series and is also true of the JREF's million dollar paranormal challenge.

... or maybe the psychics always fail the tests because they don't actually have magical powers.

What a strange test, both technical analysis and astrology are pseudosciences.

The astrologer has to be a straw man. No real astrologer would do something like that.

Do 'something' like what? Make a prediction? I don't understand what you mean.
