Fresh from sharing the stage in the USA with science legends Brian Cox and Richard Dawkins, Australia’s own Skeptics Supremo and Mystery- Buster, Richard Saunders, is coming to Armidale on May 28.

Richard will reprise his acclaimed and hilarious recent American performance at this month’s Skeptics In The Pub at the Welders Dog Brewery, 101 Beardy Street.

His show, The Secret of Psychics, is a light-hearted and irreverent look at how psychics, clairvoyants and water diviners, seem to be so accurate, and he exposes the truth behind claims of mystical powers and energies.

The audience will be encouraged to channel their inner Uri Geller and do some spoon-bending, and he will reveal the tricks in water divining and finding lost objects.

Richard is a renowned Australian skeptic, documentary filmmaker and TV personality here and in the USA.

He was recently awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award by Australian Skeptics Inc for his decades of dedicated diligence in exposing pseudo-science and conspiracy theories.

Richard has written more than 20 books, including the publication of the largest scientific study every undertaken, The Great Australian Psychic Prediction Project, a painstaking twelve-year investigation into scores of supernatural projections.

Richard is also a founding member of the Mystery Investigators live science show for schools, dedicated to promoting science education and critical thinking among young people.

His podcast, The Skeptic Zone, now in its 17th year, attracts thousands of listeners world-wide.

Skeptics In The Pub is a free event (apart from a gold coin donation) and is open to everyone. No tickets or booking are necessary.

People should arrive at the Welder’s Dog Brewery any time from 5.30pm to buy a gourmet pizza and drinks before settling in for the presentation which kicks off at 7pm.

Skeptics In the Pub is a volunteer-run, community-based event, affiliated with Australian Skeptics Inc which aims to promote reason, critical thinking, ethics, and the scientific method.
