Quotes about James Randi from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"Four days after publication, Maddox himself arrived with what Benveniste described as a scientific 'fraud squad', composed of Walter Stewart, a well-known quackbuster, and james randi, a professional magician who tended to be called in to expose scientific work that had actually been arrived at by sleight of hand. Were a magician, a journalist and a quackbuster the best possible team to assess the subtle changes in biological experimentation, wondered Benveniste. Under their watchful eye, Elisabeth Davenas performed four experiments, one blinded, all of which, Benveniste said, were successful." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)
| "Interestingly the most vocal and committed skeptics, such as Robert Wiseman and james randi, are also professionally trained magicians. It upsets them that by inferring that the world of 'illusion' has some reality, celebrity mediums create wealth and fortune for themselves at the expense of the aggrieved and gullible.
In other words, the unscrupulous medium or psychic is on one gigantic ego trip, whereas the scrupulous medium is literally and simply 'away with the fairies'.
I feel it is important to introduce some balance to this line of thinking." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)
| "To accomplish his goal of sanitizing the culture from the pollution by occultism and superstition, Carl Sagan became one of the founding members of
an organization called CSICOP (Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal), associated himself with the journal entitled The Skeptical Inquirer, and employed the services of magician james randi to help him prove that all claims of the paranormal were fraudulent. The epitome of his efforts was his book of passionate philippics against the dangers of irrationality, The Demon-Haunted World (Sagan 1997)." - Stanislav Grof, When the Impossible Happens: Adventures in Non-Ordinary Reality (Get the book.)
