Was on tonight...will be repeated at 2am at least in SoCal.

From his site:

"Jim Karol is truly one of the most unique and amazing individuals of our time. He has risen from the steel mills of PA to becoming one of the most sought after acts in the industry. Jim's highly energetic and charismatic personality along with his incredible memory, has landed him over 4,000 shows and worldwide attention, including the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Jim has been seen by millions of people from his appearances on NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Ellen Show, NBC's Today Show, Howard Stern on Demand, as well as Montel, Rosie O'Donnell, Fox News, and numerous other television programs. He is also becoming a regular on national radio shows such as Breuer Unleashed, Coast to Coast, and Howard Stern. Jim has also held three Guinness World records and has been featured in the blockbuster hit movie "Jackass Two".

In the Fall of 2007, Jim performed on a weekly NBC special called "Phenomenon", which featured the worlds Ten Best Mentalists. He also performed at the World's Magic Awards on FOX and received the award for the World's Greatest Mentalist.

Jim's "Psychic Madman" show combines extraordinary feats of the mind with zany comedy and dangerous stunts. He picked up the name "Psychic Madman" when he accurately predicted the Pennsylvania Lottery worth over 12 million dollars back in 1990. Jim is EXTREMELY intuitive and many people believe that he can actually read minds.

Jim's memory skills are incomparable to say the least. He has memorized over 80,000 zip codes, the Scrabble dictionary, thousands of digits of Pi, sports almanacs, every country and capital on the planet, and thousands of other facts. On the Ellen show, Jim actually memorized a shuffled deck of cards in a matter of seconds. His most amazing memory feat is knowing the day of the week for every date all the way back to 1492.

Jim shows no sign of slowing down. He recently wrote another book called "Mind Games" and is currently working on his next book, "SuperMind," as well as several projects with some of his celebrity friends. He has also become involved with several charity poker tournaments, one of his many new found hobbies. Don't be surprised if you see Jim's face pop up on the BIG SCREEN again."

I listened to it also Doug. Jim talked about Jim Callaghan when a caller asked about the the incident on Phen. Coast is great entertainment for the night creatures in all of us.

PS: I didn't know the Psychic Madman won the Worlds Greatest Mentalist award. He seems to stay pretty busy. He also said he, Angela and Mike Super (from Phen) did a show together recently.

Ohhhh I thought you did heard it Doug. He has been on Coast several times.

I consider his effects more mental magic then mentalism but he certainly is a good entertainer.

He did one trick over the radio similiar to magic squares. It failed to work and George got confused and frustrated but Jim handled it well.

I just have one question.

Why would you predict the lottery and NOT buy a ticket? I don't get it...

I wondered the same thing the first time I heard that. Why not just win the 12 million and retire?

Yeah, I love listening to him Alexandre. He just is so friendly and personable as an entertainer. I think that is very important to the audience.

Was visiting my Grandmother who listens to that show religiously (my radio won't pick it up and I'm too cheap to subscribe to the podcast) and she told me of it . .. she was very impressed by him . . . and she is a professional tarot reader herself. Wish I'd have heard it. I"d never heard of him but it sounds like he could hold his own with some of the best mentalists . . .

I feel he does mental magic but he does it very well!

Get yourself a CC radio from C Crane company and you will pick up coast! Worth it, very entertaining, listened for 12 yrs now.

There is a clue to the cure to your insomnia in what you have written there. Stop trying to go to sleep, start trying to stay awake SmileYou failed at the first and may well fail at the second.
