Yes, he's great, isn't he? I always like to see such fraudsters exposed for what they really are - charlatans. It's a crying shame that they take so many innocent people in and cause them to part with their hard earned cash.

There was a fabulous documentary type program on Randi filmed during his later years…can’t remember which platform is was shown on…but it also detailed how he both exposed fakes and how he constructed his own deceptions…plus dealing with his homosexuality…it was fascinating 🙂

Yes, it was funny how his powers suddenly ceased working when he couldn't get prepping everything beforehand. It's amazing how he still managed to make a career out of it despite such negative exposure proving that people will believe anything at the expense of common sense.

I'll have to track that down. I love what I've seen of his work so far. He used his magician background as a force for good.
Indeed 👍🏻 I loved how he ripped Uri Geller to shreds 🤣🤣
