All they need to do now is move “Black Scorpion” over, and the Pyramid of Darkness will be complete. 
Oh, goddess, yes! You know, Heinlein did sex in sci-fi so much better than that pile of crap that Sci-Fi ought to hang its head in shame for buying Lexx instead of using the money to film a Lazarus Long series.

Gosh, thanks for your approval.
Yeah, as entertaining as a bank robbery.
Are you sure? He is promising a service – for a fee – that he is not actually providing. Sounds like fraud to me.
Oh, well, in that case let’s let this con man bilking people go without comment.
You’re sure? You’re not just going to blame them the way you blame people for falling for this particular grifter?
And those little old ladies don’t have to buy what the other con men are selling. What is the difference?
If you don’t like fighting ignorance, you’re in the wrong place. So is your ass.
You’re right. But I bet modern science could tell us that this guy is a fraud – if he would allow himself to be tested, of course. Which he won’t (unless forced to), because he has nothing to gain and everything to lose.
There’s also a market for what those other con men are selling, but you supposedly see a difference there somehow.
Once again, we see you trying to distinguish this con game from others, but giving no real reason for doing so.
It isn’t like there isn’t plenty of information out there that debunks the pigeon drop or sweepstakes scams or sweetheart swindles. Yet those old ladies you mentioned earlier still lose their life savings to them. Oh, but those are different somehow, I guess.
Easy enough. Load up the audience with anti-Eddie plants who, when waiting for the show to start, mutter to each other about non-existent relatives and things that never happened.
