James Randi and pretty much every decent magician openly admit they're doing tricks. Do you believe they have secret magical powers, but use them for parlor tricks? LOL. You really are gullible.
Just because you can't figure out how something is done doesn't mean magic is real. It just means that your opinion of your own knowledge, intelligence and perception is somewhat unrealistic.
Personally, I could hardly care less, how exactly those tricks are done, especially that mentalism is f*cking boring. It's enough to know that if anyone had actual mind-reading, or future-predicting powers, they could use them in much more lucrative and discreet ways, than amusing James Corden.
