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?

I'm lead to believe it's largely a hoax as well, but as soon as I can reliably levitate something, turn invisible, etc., I'll at least give it a shot. It would be worth it to open the minds of millions.

However, I read this at psipog a while back, went and dug it up again - http://www.psipog.net/art-beware-pseudo-skepticism.html - so there are some questions and suspicious activities hanging around in the air about that lot. Not sure what to think.

Demonstrating a reliable paranormal ability, though, has a value far exceeding a pithy million bucks. If you had media presence already, you wouldn't need the million dollars.
