An Honest Liar
James “The Amazing” Randi is an 85-year-old magician
and escape artist who has been enchanted with illusions
from a young age. Dedicating his life to learning the
tricks of the trade, Randi became a sensation who toured
the world, always honest about being a “liar, cheat and
charlatan.” When people start using the same tricks
but calling themselves “psychics”—like spoon-bender
Uri Geller or “faith-healing” like televangelist Peter
Popoff—Randi is angry and afraid for the people who
are duped. Devoting himself to a new cause, Randi
follows the deceivers from city to city, publicly debunking
their claims. But when the FBI arrests Randi’s partner
of 26 years for identity fraud, the layers of deception
become blurred. Media Coverage
