Million Dollar Challenge, no one to date Options

Hello.
Recently I heard about The Million Dollar Challenge made by James Randi Educational Foundation. The Foundation promisses to give one million dollars to a person, who could demonsttrate any kind of paranormal/occult power under their observing conditions. There are so many people pacticing magic, and so many occult societies that you woudn't want their leaders to seem without any powers. But why nobody ever claimed those damned million dollars? Your opinions? Have you ever heard about this challenge before?

Link to the Foundation's site:http://www.randi.org/research/index.html

Application and rules:http://www.randi.org/research/challenge.html

So in the case of someone that has a spirit following how would it ever be proved? For instance i meditate very deeply and start bableing in a language i have no training in is that magic? OR i wake from a trance and show everyone how to sort out the golden mean is that magic or did i already know?

I can understand why someone would want to do this but its not a movie, there are no blazing fireballs to see. Even if one can travel while dreaming it cant be proved. You dont actually see demons or angels that are summoned you feel them. And even if you do see them yourself theres no saying that anyone else would.
How about if you punch someone from 6 inches away and they go flying 15 feet back is that magic? It is but would it win a million dollars?

Its almost like saying prove to me there is a one and only god and ill give you a million dollars.

By the way yes ive heard of it before.
