The Amazing Randi, a inspiring magician who, like one of his hero's Harry Houdini, turned his talents to busting frauds has passed away.
From the NYT obituary: " But in later years, Mr. Randi was not so much an illusionist as a disillusionist. Using a singular combination of reason, showmanship, constitutional cantankerousness and a profound knowledge of the weapons in the modern magician’s arsenal, he traveled the country exposing seers who did not see, healers who did not heal and many others. "
I thank Mr. Randi for helping open my eyes to a lot of flim flam and being more skeptical. He, and his work, will be missed.
