Game over, boys.

Think about it. The only way James Randi could possibly stand against such giants as Uri Geller and Sylvia Browne is that HE IS BETTER AT MAGIC THAN THEM! When defeating Peter Popoff he went against the power of God Himself, and seemed to triumph. Now who else has ever done that? Hmm?

It is sad that such a gifted occultist has decided to use his powers for evil, but even sadder is that he is a liar. Now ask yourselves, why would a wizard dedicate his life to purging all other wizards, ghosts and aliens from the face of the planet? Is he after world domination, or could it just be that SOMEONE gave him...

...A million dollars?

I don't want to dismiss your theory out of hand, but are you sure he's evil? You see, James Randi is a gay man--I'm not saying he's not a wizard, of course, but all the gay wizards I know of are pretty chill FWIW.

Yeah, man, calling a gay wizard evil is pretty 17th century of you. Stop carrying your grandad's torch. The torch he uses for burning witches and wizards.

Elders of Zion Mods, can you change the title to say "James Randi is an evil best wizard"?

There, is everybody happy? I hope you will be when he is the only one left! I would be secretly happy about that outcome, that's how deep this conspiracy goes

The most powerful wizards are gay, straight wizards are significantly reduced in power because women are like magic vacuums. But with another man it's like they just multiply their power.

James Randi is NOT wizard. He invented a portable machine -- that he carries at all times -- that disrupts the psychic projections used by the heads of the entertainment industry to make you believe in the illusions that are being broadcast

Secrets of Magic Revealed is just an attempt to explain the illusions as simple acts of legerdemain

yeah right!

This is fairly close to my theory, only it is more probable that, in addition to being a wizard, he is some kind of lich who lures in lesser magicians with the Paranormal Challenge in order to steal their magic essencee. It explains how so many good and honest folk end up on his stage only to fall-flat by deception, as well as why he looks so good despite being a really old man.

Inevitably, JREF will have to announce his death in about 10-20 years from now, but the funeral will just be another one of Randi's sleight of hand tricks, a distraction to bide them time so that they can find a younger vessel to infuse his soul with and allow the reign of skepticism to transition into the new age. I think there will have to be some kind of effort to stop him before its too late, but so far the only simulation model I can find for planning is DnD. 3.5 edition...

"Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." I think Obi-Wan Kenobi or somebody said that. I'm not sure if he is gay, but I've never seen him with a girlfriend and the Force is also indistinguishable from magic, so he might be okay.

From that follows the logical conclusion that any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology. I believe this is indeed how Mr Randi maintains his facade of rational non-wizardlyness, so well spotted.

Gandalf and Magneto are both gay wizards, too.

Also gay. Luke Skywalker was, His father was a straight wizard and evil, so there you go. Don't know if you even need any more proof.

I hear he is combining his and Carl Sagan's dna to form some sort of ultra skeptic, giving him the ability to deny the existence of gravity.

You know what I said about world domination? Scratch that. If the above things are true, his goals are higher than that. He is not so much Highlander as he is the Borg.

His million dollar challenge includes aliens also. Now I hear he might be absorbing the abilities of the very best cosmologist. This can only point to one thing: he is preparing to expand his operations to outer space. Once he has transcended gravity this will be a snap.

Where will it end? Will the far future hold one very skeptical hive-mind for the whole universe? Who knows. But one thing we do know is that that mind will still be that of a very nice gay wizard, so that's okay then.
