James Randi is an internationally known magician (as The Amazing
Randi), psychic debunker, and winner of a MacArthur Foundation "Genius
Grant." He was a founding fellow of the Committee for the Scientific
Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP). He is perhaps best
known for offering $1,000,000 (via the James Randi Educational
Foundation) to anyone who can successfully demonstrate psychic powers
under conditions mutually agreed on by the challenger and himself.
Starting with a $10,000 prize over 25 years ago, no claimant to
psychic powers has ever won the money.
Randi has pursued "psychic" spoonbenders, exposed the dirty tricks of
faith healers, investigated homeopathic water "with a memory," and
generally been a thorn in the sides of those who try to pull the wool
over the public's eyes in the name of the supernatural.
