Common card · No. 323874

James Alan Hydrick (born February 28, 1959) is an American former stage performer and self-described psychic. Hydrick claimed to be able to perform acts of telekinesis, such as his trademark trick of moving a pencil resting at the edge of a table. Following a nationally televised demonstration of his abilities on That's Incredible!, he was unable to prove his supernatural abilities on That's My Line, and later confessed the fraud. Hydrick had a long history of criminal offenses and was imprisoned at least three times, after which he escaped; his final offense was for child molestation in 1989, for which he remains in a psychiatric hospital.
