Timeline
In 1976 he was one of the founders of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims Of the Paranormal (CSICOP), which evolved into the Center for Inquir. It promotes science education, secularism and reason.
James Randi has an international reputation as a magician and escape artist, but today he is best known as the world's most tireless investigator and demystifier of paranormal and pseudoscientific claims. 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. He has received numerous awards and recognitions, including a Fellowship from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in 1986.
On October 19, 1993, the PBS-TV "NOVA" program broadcast a one-hour special dealing with Randi's life work, particularly with his investigations of Uri Geller and various occult and healing claims being made by scientists in Russia. He is the author of numerous books, including The Truth About Uri Geller, The Faith Healers, Flim-Flam!, and An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural. His lectures and television appearances have delighted - and vexed - audiences around the world.
Randi used to drive a 2002 teal blue Miata he named Sophia.
Currently in charge of the James Randi Educational Foundation which promotes critical thinking. The Foundation also offers one million US dollars to anyone who can show evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. [April 2004]
Publicly announced he was gay in 2010, marrying his longtime partner, José Alvarez, in a 2013 ceremony in Washington, DC, USA.
An Honest Liar (2014), a 90 minute documentary on his life and career, was originally produced by an American and a British company for the BBC in 2014. In 2016, it was repackaged for broadcast on the long running Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) documentary series Independent Lens (1999) in an episode with the same name as the original film.
