[fedaalgo]

just learned about the existence of James Randi and immediately became obsessed with his approach towards truthfulness; https://annas-archive.gl/search?q=flim-flam%21

Randi was great. He had a great way of calling out peoples bullshit. Lots of clips on youtube, once you've done reading

Heres my favorites

Page turning psychic defeated by some plastic trash

Magnetic man turns out to have sticky skin, defeated by some powder. With the soundtrack of "oohs" and "aahs" from the audience.

Bonus:
Johnny Carson was a friend of Randi and with his help, called out Uri Geller's silly bollocks
