From
Wikipedia
James Randi (born August 7, 1928), stage name The Amazing Randi,
is a stage magician and scientific skeptic best known as a debunker of
pseudoscience. Born Randall James Hamilton Zwinge, in Toronto, Canada,
Randi is the creator of the James Randi Educational Foundation's million
dollar challenge offering a prize US$1,000,000 to anyone who can demonstrate
evidence of any paranormal, supernatural or occult power or event, under
test conditions agreed to by both parties. He is occasionally featured
on the television program Bullshit!, hosted by noted skeptics Penn &
Teller.
His interest in debunking the paranormal started when he was in his early
teens. He was present at a magic show when a magician asked for someone
from the audience to help him with his performance. Randi, having experimented
with magic tricks himself, raised his hand. The magician responded, "Ah,
young man, you're a magician yourself, aren't you?", much to Randi's
amazement. After the show, Randi approached the man and asked how he knew
this. The man told Randi he did not. It was simply part of his routine
and whenever he turned out to be right, he would credit his "magical
powers" and whenever he was wrong, he would turn it into a standard
quip.(more)
