| James Randi |
|
James Randi has an international reputation as a magician and escape
artist, but today he is best known as the world's most tireless investigator and demystifier of paranormal and
pseudoscientific claims. Randi has pursued "psychic" spoonbenders, exposed the dirty tricks of faith healers,
investigated homeopathic water "with a memory," and generally been a thorn in the sides of those who try to pull
the wool over the public's eyes in the name of the supernatural. He is the author of numerous books, including
The Truth About Uri Geller, The Faith Healers, and Flim-Flam!. Randi's long-standing challenge to psychics now
stands as a $1,000,000 prize administered by the JREF Foundation. It remains unclaimed.
