The scene in the theater with the healer EXACTLY word for word how the great Randy found that Peter Popoff was using.
The dialogue that we hear over the radio is exactly what she said to PopOff, "Can You Hear Me Petey,
if you can't then you're in trouble".
His wife was working the radio off stage and transmitting to an earpiece that he had in his ear from cards that had been filled out before the audience had come in. The audience was told to fill out cards while waiting on line to enter the theater.
Peter Popoff had to declare bankruptcy in the eighties because of this when he was exposed. Unfortunately he is back on the air late night even to today.
Yeah, that was fun to hear in a movie. Submitted some more detailed info about the Popoff case as a trivia item for the movie.
