Doris Stokes was a British "psychic" who toured the world mostly doing "cold reading." Sadly, she enjoyed a degree of popularity in Australia.

Typically, when she arrived in the country, Stokes would appear on talk shows, notably "The Don Lane Show" giving people a taste of her live act.

James Randi came to Australia and was extremely critical of Yuri Geller and Doris Stokes. He was invited onto Lane's show, hoping to expose the pair, but Lane, knowing Stokes was one of his most popular guests, had another agenda.

Prior to the outburst seen on the youtube video linked by adam-denicolo-ad, Randi had bent a metal key, showing that you didn't need supernatural abilities to perform Geller's parlor tricks.

He suggested that Doris Stokes had no special powers, and explained "cold reading" to the audience. Lane figured he had to shut Randi down, and quick, which is why he suddenly flew into a rage, told Randi to "p!ss off" and stormed off the stage.
