"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."

"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."

"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)."
