My evil twin wants to kill you

Regular readers of my site know that I have an evil twin by the name of Richard Wiseman (scroll down about 3/4 of the way to the bottom of that page for a picture). Richard is a great guy– a UK skeptic who is funny, brilliant, and of course extremely handsome.

He is auctioning off two front row tickets to his incredible “Theater of Science” show! Even better, after the show, the winner and friend will be put into a giant metal cage and zapped by a Tesla coil which generates one million volts of potential! Here’s an actual image of this:

The auction is to help raise money to support people who otherwise could not afford to go to James Randi’s Amaz!ng Meeting 5, a grand skeptical conference with luminaries like Randi himself, Penn&Teller, Michael Shermer, and, um, me.

The bidding ends on Thursday, so get going. This is a fantastic opportunity! There are also lots of other items being auctioned, so check them out as well.
