James Randi
James Randi (nascido Randall James Hamilton Zwinge; Toronto, Canadá, 7 de agosto de 1928 - 20 de outubro de 2020) foi um mágico e cético canadense naturalizado norte-americano, mais conhecido pelo seu desafio às alegações de sobrenaturalidade e pseudociência. Randi é o fundador da James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF, na sigla em inglês) e co-fundador do Comitê para a Investigação Cética. Randi começou a sua carreira como mágico, usando o nome The Amazing Randi, mas depois de se aposentar, aos 60 anos, ele dedicou a maior parte de seu tempo a investigar os supostos fenômenos paranormais, ocultos e sobrenaturais, que ele chamava de "woo-woo". Embora fosse chamado de "desenganador" (debunker), Randi não gostava do termo e suas conotações, preferindo ser chamado de "investigador". Leia mais na Wikipédia
