Career Magician Īlthough defining himself as a conjuror, Randi began a career as a professional stage magician and escapologist in 1946. One of his earliest reported experiences was that of seeing an evangelist using a version of the " one-ahead" technique to convince churchgoers of his divine powers. He witnessed many tricks that were presented as being supernatural. In his 30s, Randi worked in the UK, Europe, Philippine nightclubs, and Japan. In his 20s, Randi posed as an astrologer, and to establish that they merely were doing simple tricks, he briefly wrote an astrological column in the Canadian tabloid Midnight under the name "Zo-ran" by simply shuffling up items from newspaper astrology columns and pasting them randomly into a column. This inspired his career as a scientific skeptic. After he re-enacted the trick before the parishioners, the pastor's wife called the police and he spent four hours in a jail cell. As a teenager, he stumbled upon a church where the pastor claimed to read minds. He practiced as a mentalist in local nightclubs and at Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition and wrote for Montreal's tabloid press. He often skipped classes, and at 17, dropped out of high school to perform as a conjurer in a carnival roadshow. He confounded doctors, who expected he would never walk again. and reading conjuring books while spending 13 months in a body cast following a bicycle accident. He took up magic after seeing Harry Blackstone Sr. He was of French, Danish and Austrian descent. He was the son of Marie Alice ( née Paradis 1906-1987) and George Randall Zwinge (1903-1967), an executive at Bell Telephone Company. Randi was born on August 7, 1928, in Toronto, Canada.
Randi retired from practicing magic at age 60, and from his foundation at 87.Īlthough often referred to as a " debunker", Randi said he disliked the term's connotations and preferred to describe himself as an "investigator". Randi began his career as a magician under the stage name The Amazing Randi and later chose to devote most of his time to investigating paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims, which he collectively called "woo-woo". He was the co-founder of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI), and founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF).
