It's amazing what you can find on youtube these days. Consider this gem: Secrets of the Psychics, a PBS Nova episode from 1993. James "the Amazing" Randi, conjurer, arch-skeptic and founder of JREF (and the million dollar paranormal challenge), sets about debunking psychic claims including faith healing and spoon bending. As always, Randi sheds light on the deceptive tactics "psychics" use to make their abilities seem unworldly to the untrained eye. For more recent Randi action check out this segment of ABC's 2011 series "Beyond Belief." (below the fold)
