James Randi was a prominent stage magician, author, and scientific skeptic recognized for his efforts in challenging paranormal and pseudoscientific assertions. He co-established the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and the James Randi Educational Foundation. Initially a magician, Randi shifted his focus to scrutinizing paranormal claims, eventually retiring from magic at 60 and his foundation at 87. Known for his investigative approach rather than mere debunking, Randi wrote extensively on paranormal phenomena and skepticism. He notably exposed frauds such as Peter Popoff and initiated the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge.
