Harry Houdini Became the James Randi of his Time
When I learned about the life of Harry Houdini I heard about how after his beloved mother died he went to see one of the famous mediums of his time and right away knew these were frauds because they didn't know certain things about his mother that he knew, and it was information that only he would know unless the mediums were not frauds. Then he used his successful magic tricks in a way to debunk all of the mediums around at the time. He was very successful at it and basically became the James Randi of his time.
