If she truly is a fake why would she risk her entire career on Anderson Cooper?? For everyone to see?
There is no risk. It's why this con is still around in the "information" age. The people who WANT to believe it just do, despite the extensive debunking. And when there is a bad TV performance people will come up with excuses for the con artist (as someone did in this thread), and they will fight people who want to ruin the delusion.
There is only an up side. It's simple exposure. The people that do this con do it every day with the same general risk. They have worked out the routine well enough that they never give it completely away. It's really not that hard.
Just as an example, Uri Geller was thoroughly embarrassed on the Johnny Carson show, back in the day. Now Carson prolly had 30 times the audience of Cooper, and still Geller had a good career after his embarrassment. All it did was expose him to more people who WANT to believe and the criticism just makes them dig their heels in on the belief.
