	James Randi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Randi (born Randall James Hamilton Zwinge, August 7,1928 in Toronto, Canada), more often known as The Amazing Randi, is a stage magician, a skeptic, and an opponent of pseudoscience.

		Randi once commented that Uri Geller's tricks are of the same quality as those Randi read on the backs of cereal packets as a child.
