Overview

Phenomenon is an American television competition program judged by mystifier Uri Geller and illusionist Criss Angel and hosted by Tim Vincent which debuted live on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, on NBC. The program featured ten contestants competing to become the next great mentalist, to be determined by viewers voting by phone and online. The contestants performed their effects on celebrity guests each week. The winner of Phenomenon would win $250,000. On October 30, 2007, during an interview with Larry King about the show, Angel said "No one has the ability, that I'm aware of, to do anything supernatural, psychic, talk to the dead. And that was what I said I was going to do with Phenomenon. If somebody goes on that show and claims to have supernatural psychic ability, I'm going to bust them live and on television." The winner of the first season was Mike Super. The program was cancelled on April 2, 2008, after NBC announced its 2008–2009 schedule.

Notable quotes

“This kid may be the key not just to all human potential, but to all spiritual unexplained paranormal phenomena. The key to everything in The X-Files.”
— Chris Carter, in The X-Files episode "The End" [5.20] (17 May 1998)
“But mainly I learned, in approaching the measurement of new phenomena, not just to consider using existing apparatus but to allow the mind to wander freely and invent new ways of doing the job.”
— Val Logsdon Fitch, in his Nobel Prize Autobiography (1980), in Les Prix Nobel, published in The Nobel Prizes (1981), edited by Wilhelm Odelberg
“The number of different optical phenomena has become in our time so great that caution must be taken so as to avoid being deceived, and also to refer the phenomena to the simple laws.”
— Joseph von Fraunhofer, in The Wave Theory, Light and Spectra. Prismatic and Diffraction Spectra. Memoirs by Joseph Von Fraunhofer (1981), p. 14
“There is but one indefectibly certain truth, and that is the truth that pyrrhonistic scepticism itself leaves standing, — the truth that the present phenomenon of consciousness exists.”
— William James, in The Will to Believe (1897)
“As discontinuity marched into the world of phenomena through one door, causality walked out through another.”
— James Jeans, in Physics and Philosophy (1942)
“The laws of thermodynamics may be regarded as particular cases of more general laws, applicable to all such states of matter as constitute Energy, or the capacity to perform work, which more general laws form the basis of the science of energetics, — a science comprehending, as special branches, the theories of motion, heat, light, electricity, and all other physical phenomena.”
— William John Macquorn Rankine, in A Manual of the Steam Engine and other Prime Movers (1859), p. 31
