What a great guy. I had never heard of Randi but will watch out for more.
With all due respect to Derren Brown, Derren seems to owe Randi a lot. If you have not heard of Derren Brown, you really should check him out, starting with his programme called 'Messiah'. Amongst other psychic debunking, he 'converts' atheists into Christians with a touch of his hand. Well worth watching!
However Derren's trick works, it might be the same trick that religious leaders have been doing for centuries - so the more publicity the better.
It may not work in all countries but here is a link - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/derre...od#2921957
The 'Christian' bit does not occur until about 2/3 of the way through but the rest is interesting anyway if you have the time to watch it.
