Randi In Estonia!

Some brief clips of Randi in Estonia -- being presented with a portrait from a lovely Estonian named Ann-Mari (and giggling naughtily at one of them, in which he is apparently flipping someone the bird); taking in some ominous-looking Stalinist architecture; performing some simple math-based magic for a room full of Estonian psych students. (The students were enjoying a retreat in the woods when we popped in on them -- Randi's address was an impromptu one, and it took place in the basement of what looked like an old farmhouse.) Then, a brief clip in which he explains to a reporter the remarkable similarities in woo from culture to culture. As always, pardon the camera -- these road vids are recorded with a very small, hand-held camera called "Flip," which, though an incredible piece of machinery, is damned hard to stabilize when you've got just one free hand.

Mr. Randi: PLEASE find a protege and teach him or her everything you know. What you do is so important, and someone (or many) MUST carry on the torch. Alternatively, write a book to be published either now or after you're gone.

James Randi is great with people, he has a good sense of humor and he is entertaining when he performs as a magician.

I'm from Estonia! Damn it, I didn't even know James Randi was here. It would have been an honor to meet him. I can't believe they took him into a basement somewhere!? *embarrassed*
