James Randi (1928-2020) was a Canadian-American illusionist and scientific skeptic known for challenging paranormal and pseudoscientific claims. He co-founded the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and established the James Randi Education Foundation. Initially a performer as 'The Amazing Randi', he devoted much of his life to investigating the supernatural, often criticizing frauds in the field. Randi retired from magic at 60 and continued his skeptical work until 87, famously debunking claims such as those of faith healer Peter Popoff and hosting the Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge through JREF until its conclusion in 2015.
