James Hydrick
James Allen Hydrick (born February 28, 1959) is an American former stage performer and self-described psychic. Hydrick claimed to be able to perform acts of telekinesis, such as his trademark trick of moving a pencil resting at the edge of a table.〔Regal, Brian (2009). ''Pseudoscience: A Critical Encyclopedia''. Greenwood. p. 89. ISBN 978-0-313-35507-3〕 Following a nationally-televised demonstration of his abilities on the American reality show ''That's Incredible!'', he was unable to prove his supernatural abilities on another show, ''That's My Line'', hosted by Bob Barker, and Hydrick subsequently confessed the fraud to an investigative reporter.〔Baker, Robert; Nickell, Joe (1992). ''Missing Pieces: How To Investigate Ghosts, UFOs, Psychics, & Other Mysteries''. Prometheus Books. p. 80. ISBN 0-87975-729-9〕
==Early life==
Hydrick was born in South Carolina to a 30-year-old father and 15-year-old mother. His father was abusive.〔 In 1989, he told an interviewer that he started learning karate at age 6 to protect himself from his father after seeing one of his brothers beaten to death. He and his other siblings later lived in a series of foster homes and orphanages.
Hydrick was convicted of kidnapping and torture in 1977.〔 He escaped incarceration three times: he kicked through a concrete wall in a Georgia jail, broke through gates at a South Carolina prison, and finally, in 1982, he pole-vaulted over a fence at a state prison in Utah.
