MTS: Meet James Randi

I have to be honest. When I asked Mr. Randi’s personal assistant for an interview, I expected the brushoff. To me, it was sort of like casting a student film for art school and asking Will Smith to star in it. A polite, “thank you for your offer, but I’m quite busy” would have been completely appropriate. Instead, I was told “Sure. When would you like to do it?”

 

This interview was a bit difficult to prepare for. What could I ask James Randi that he hasn’t already been asked a million times? If ever there was a figurehead for the Skeptical Movement, it is undoubtedly The Amazing Randi.

 

Never afraid to stand up for what’s right, James Randi has led a fearless path toward truth and reality by offering a simple challenge to those who claim paranormal abilities. Go ahead and prove it. I’ll give you a Million Dollars.

 

Some books of Randi's include:

Flim-Flam! Psychics, ESP, Unicorns, and Other Delusions

The Faith Healers

The Truth About Uri Geller
