A Good Halloween Lesson: Randi’s “Secrets of the Psychics”

Posted by mattusmaximus on October 29, 2009

Again, in the spirit of Halloween and skepticism, I want to share with you all what is likely one of the best videos ever: James Randi’s “Secrets of the Psychics”. I often show this video to my students around this time of year, when many of them are (consciously or not) thinking about psychics & various paranormal phenomena.

If you’ve never seen the entire video, I strongly encourage you to watch it all.  In addition, if you really want to get a good look into real paranormal investigation, take some time to check out one of the best skeptical books on the topic: James Randi’s “Flim-Flam! Psychics, ESP, Unicorns, and Other Delusions” 🙂
