    This seems to be nothing to do with his magic work. If you want to discuss his work with regards to skepticism then go to please use the Skeptics Forum linked below.

    Since my other thread was locked.
    I would like to discuss james randi magic experience and how it helps him debunk paranormal claims.
    i personally think his training gives him a better perspective on paranormal claims than a purely scientific skeptic. He know how people can be tricked and decived and know exactly what to look for. take for example when he debunked James Hydrick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlfMsZwr8rc He was able to pick up on the trick and replicate very quickly. (Ain't a biologist alive that can do that. )

    Discuss. Does magic experience help in debunking?

    King Mob, I'm locking this aswell. I suspect you would never have posted this here had it not been deleted from Paranormal. You clearly wish to discuss debunking - I can move this to the Skeptics Forum if they agree to have it.

    Thats the final call on this. If you have an issue with this take it to HelpDesk.
