R.I.P. James Randi


R.I.P. James Randi

skeptic, scientist, debunker & magician

1928 -2020

 

'Amazing' Escape Artist, Magician, And Skeptic James Randi Dead At 92


James Randi hated tricking people. Sure, as The Amazing Randi, he pulled off amazing escape acts and sleight of hand maneuvers faster than you could see — but it was all in service of proving that he wasn't magical in any sense of the word. He hated tricking people so much he made a career out of debunking so-called psychics, faith healers, and fortune tellers of all sorts.
