Expose of a mediocre magician turned scumbag.


Great reveal of a bitter pathetic man. So famous he was unknown til he faked debunking fake people, Glad he is gone.

reply

Gone how ?

reply

Your trolling would work better if every word you wrote wasn't a lie. The movie wasn't great, there was no reveal, and Randi certainly isn't bitter or pathetic. He was well-known before he started debunking fakes (and to claim that he "faked debunking them" is beyond ridiculous), and he's not gone. Is it Opposite Day where you live, or something?

reply

Look, it's Uri Geller or should we call him Caitlyn now?

reply

LOL, yes, Caitlyn :)
After years of alien abductions, psychokinesis, split personalities, channelling, Bermuda triangles, "feeling like the other sex" is simply the newest fad of mind *beep*.
I was thinking of Jenner the whole time and having a good giggle.

I think the point that Randi misses is that not only is "love blind", but love RENDERS blind. So that religious people who love gods will place their love beyond all reason, and Randi, with his love for that very young latino hunk, was also fooled by love.

But that is Randi's biggest failure, he failed to question WHY people can be fooled... in the end the proof was beyond his own capacity.

***So I've seen 4 movies/wk in theatre for a 1/4 century, call me crazy?**

reply

He was hardly unknown. And he's not gone. Why is it you felt that your use of primitive name-calling was appropriate?

I thought Sylvia Browne was dead, and yet here you are.

reply

Yes he sure fooled us. He wasn't really debunking anything! What?

Bucka bucka, Enzo wife yucka.

i give you 0/10 for the very poor review .

you should review the film in order to get a proper opinion .

if you were expecting Randi to tell you long-life-secrets of his work , LOL , you're in the wrong business .
it's his tricks, his secrets .
you want to find out the secrets ? open google and lose some nights over the forums, documentaries , films , pictures , scripts etc .
don't expect someone to hand you down the solutions just cause you're a spoiled little kid that ran to mommy each time he lost his favorite toy .
Randi left his home at 17 and he build this image on his own , with hard work , sleepless night and hard work again .
you want the secret of a trick ? WORK FOR IT !


Nothing in this world that is worth having ever comes easy !

reply

Yes, he certainly is full of himself and as much a charlatan and fraud as the people he claimed to debunk.


So his claim that he debunked Peter Popoff and Uri Geller is not true? And exactly how is The Amazing Randi a charlatan and fraud for claiming to be a magician?

reply

So wait. You're saying Peter Popoff isn't a fake? James Hydrik isn't a fake? Uri Gellar isn't a fake?

Even if Randi ended up punting babies over fences, his accomplishments still exist.

reply

This is actually the best review I have read. Nothing is exposed. The film is poorly designed. This film turn out to be nothing more than a story about a guy who spent his life trying to expose fraud, but only fraud involving religion or magicians he doesn't like. But fraud involving his gay lifestyle, identity theft, illegal immigration, and covering up federal crimes is not fraud he's willing to exposes. No, Randi may be the biggest hypocrite ever. He has serious mental delusions and needs a team of psychiatrists following him around to diagnose his severe narcissism.

reply

@whipgibson...thank you. I have always been repulsed by Randi's overzealous mean-spiritedness. Narcissist perfectly describes him!

reply

You people have really missed the point.

reply

Randi's overzealous mean-spiritedness.

Who would have a problem with zealously destroying Uri Gellar's fraudulent reputation?


Cheers
