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?

Yes I've heard of the challenge. Sounds like a group of skeptics looking for a miracle. Magick is not miraculous and I think works in such a subtle way that conventional science couldn't varify it anyways. Say for example I did a love spell. Not on a particular person but just to draw somebody close to me. Say after three weeks I get married. How do you scientifically prove that the spell was the cause? Sure I could find some random stranger and cast a spell on them to make them fall in love with me but I don't think magick works like that. I think if I did that they would probably fall for someone or feel stronger feelings for somebody they already love who is already very close to them.

Now if I could levitate, had psychic powers, could talk to ghosts and other entities, PK, or even if I could astral project and see whats inside some scientist's wallet - now that would be interesting.

I have spoken to Randi, and he has assured me that he will award the prize pending demonstration of this effect.

I have no plans to go to Florida, but if ever I have the opportunity, I will make it a priority to see him while there.

There is a small problem: One must have a media presence to apply.

"12. This offer is not open to any and all persons. Before being considered as an applicant, the person
applying must satisfy two conditions: First, he/she must have a “media presence,” which means having
been published, written about, or known to the media in regard to his/her claimed abilities or powers.
This can be established by producing articles, videos, books, or other published material that specifically
addresses the person’s abilities. Second, he/she must produce at least one signed document from an
academic who has witnessed the powers or abilities of the person, and will validate that these powers or
abilities have been verified." from Randi.org Challenge Rules

You wouldn't happen to know how one goes about gaining the medias’ attention, would you? Most people that appear in the news for their occult abilities are normally not someone that could win the prize. The only ones I have ever seen are crackpots and charlatans, not reputable occultists.
