James Randi |

|
He appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson over 30 times and has written several books including Flim-Flam, and Faith Healers. He has appeared on numerous international TV programs over the last thirty years including cameos on shows like Happy Days, and more recently in extensive programs such as a BBC production investigating homeopathy. This program aired domestically as a special on Tech-TV, and features one of his greatest tools, namely a $1 million prize he continues to offer to this day, for anyone who can demonstrate any paranormal abilities such as (but not limited to) ESP, spoon bending or moving things with the mind, dowsing skills, or other such "nonsense" that flies in the face of science, under controlled experimental conditions. He has gone up against highly prestigious academic institutions and scientists defending their junk science, some even after being published in major scientific journals. And the bottom line? He still has the million bucks! If you think you can demonstrate such abilities, or just want to be entertained by what's out there, please visit www.randi.org - the official website of the James Randi Educational Foundation.

Known
internationally since the 1950’s, The Amazing Randi became famous
not only for his magic, but for his mission in life to defend science and expose
purveyors of psychic quackery. He has used his knowledge of magic to document
frauds from supposed psychics and faith healers, to medical cons and, to use his
term, “Flim Flam” of all types.
