    Synopsis
    James Randi is internationally known as a magician and escape artist. But for the past thirty-five years of his professional life, he has also been active as an investigator of the paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims that have impressed the thinking of the public for a generation: ESP, psychokinesis, psychic detectives, levitation, psychic surgery, UFOs, dowsing, astrology, and many others. Those of us unable to discriminate between geniune scientific research and the pseudoscientific nonsense that has resulted in fantastic theories and fancies have long needed James Randi and Flim-Flam! In this book, Randi explores and exposes what he believes to be the outrageous deception that has been promoted widely in the media. Unafraid to call researchers to account for their failures and impostures, Randi tells us that we have been badly served by scientists who have failed to follow the procedures required by their training and traditions. Here he shows us how what he views as sloppy research has been followed by rationalizations of evident failures, and we see these errors and misrepresentations clearly pointed out. Mr. Randi provides us with a compelling and convincing document that will certainly startle and enlighten all who read it., James Randi is internationally known as a magician and escape artist.

      • Entertaining and interesting.

        Interesting but outdated content... Randi was not just a very good magician and leading skeptic, he was also a good writer. I like this book. It is full of real life examples to support the main point of this book. What I do not like about this book is that it feels outdated; most of the stories that Randi writes about are from 40-50 years ago. Nevertheless, I think it is a good read for anybody. Especially for those who easily fall for all kinds of scams and quackery. And for skeptics so that they can hone their logical thinking skills.

      • Good read

        Flim Flam is interesting but make sure you allow plenty of time to read it. The font is small and lthere are 328 pages to read. I am not a fast reader or slow either so for the average speed reader plan on it taking longer than expected. It is good though and opens your mind to stories the news media the prints that may not be totally true, kind of like politics. It do recommend it.

        Great book! Lot of information from a fine magician who cares about people and wants to stop people who just want money. I recommend you buy the great book.
