James Randi debunking on Tonight Show

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi

Asteroid 3163 Randi was named after him.

Randi entered the international spotlight in 1972 when he challenged the public claims of Uri Geller

Randi has worked as a professional stage magician and escapologist since 1946. In 1955, he broke Houdini's record for survival in a sealed coffin (1 hour, 33 minutes) by 11 minutes. In his early career, Randi was part of numerous stunts involving his escape from jail cells and safes.

In this short film, Randi exposes Uri Geller and Peter Popoff. He ends with a comedy review against many medical self-proclaimed spiritual healers.

I don't think that Uri Geller guy is 1/10th as despicable as the "faith healer".

Geller is pretty much an entertainer, not telling people devastating lies quite like that faith healer, what an atrocious human being he is..

Love at 2:53 when Uri is like "Don't! Don't!"

Uri didn't want him rubbing the spoon because Uri wanted to take credit for it falling in half. :)

@puppyloveforu for a thousand monkeys! I've "known" Randi for years and never ever stumbled across this detail. I'd like to say that changes nothing of what I think of him, but can't help of seeing him differently now. He changed my world view once again! :-o

In 2010, James Randi came out of the closet, announcing to the world he is gay. This guy is a hero no matter what lifestyle he is, because he exposes all those crooks and flim-flam artists in the world. I also love him because he exposes alot of those awesome magic effects that I've always wanted to know how they're done! Thanks, Mr. Randi!

IF YOU CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION THEN I CONCEDE, OTHER WISE I PROCEED ON MY JOURNEY OF SPEAKING THE TRUTH.
