Besides it is not a psychic ability, unless you consider seeing as being psychic as well.
P.S. I'd consider doing it for a university, but they need to pay my consulting fee since this would cut into geology work($1250/day plus expenses).
I was wondering how my rather neutrally-worded inquiry would be perceived.
First, I am unfamiliar the the term con man being applied to James Randi himself, usually he is referred to as a magician who exposes con men.
Second, I am unfamiliar with the term 'seeing' used in the context of telepathy except in the works of Carlos Castaneda. Unfortunately, it appears Carlos was quite the con man as the evident purpose behind his work was to get a short and supposedly unattractive guy laid.

Third, i find your reason to forgo any testing, namely that you are already rich, quite unconvincing. For one thing, you would change the entire understanding of paranormal phenomena and for another you could always donate the money to the Salvation Army. Besides, one can always choose to not sue Randi, maybe even write a book or article about how the challenge is bogus. I don't see how Randi would have any grounds to sue you for accepting the challenge. Why are you being so selfish concerning your gifts?
You said it, care to back it up?
