The Amazing Randi (James Randi)

James Randi, known as "The Amazing Randi," was a renowned magician and skeptical investigator dedicated to analyzing paranormal claims. He used his knowledge of illusion and deception to demonstrate that many supposed supernatural phenomena—such as psychic abilities, ESP, and clairvoyance—could be replicated by trickery or natural explanations. Randi promoted critical thinking and scientific inquiry, often challenging charlatans and exposing scams. Throughout his career, he advocated for skepticism and the importance of evidence-based understanding, inspiring efforts to distinguish genuine phenomena from illusions and encouraging public awareness of deception in paranormal claims.
