I have, and it is a trick.

Are the bleeding statues tricks too? I'm skeptical about them as well...

Truth.

For his big stuff, absolutely. The little tricks that probably can be done without cheating are more impressive in my opinion.

Well think about that episode. They showed people getting videos of him doing the trick on their cell phones. If those people weren't actors it would be possible to find amateur videos of it, people would upload them to YouTube. But those videos don't seem to exist.

The videos that do exist expose him BAD! Well Chris Angel aside I was wondering does Nostradamus predictions count as documented proof of prophecy. 😮💨

No, because the way Nostradamus wrote leads to postdiction, not prophecy. That aside, if you look at the % of quatrains that are claimed to be true, and compare them to the rest, the result falls within the probability of chance.
The number of people who have credibly debunked Nostradamus is too big to list. And those who endorse Nostra. usually use the same logical fallacies, if not outright lies, in order to further their claims. There is money to be made off of the gullible, so there is incentive to bury thorough analysis.
James randi is one of the more entertaining authors to have addressed Nostradamus with I believe several books (at least one that I'm aware of). I'd recommend his works as a place to start if you want a skeptical inquiry into the works of Nostradamus, especially removed from any selective bias or those wishing to profit from the predictions somehow.
