** I have a friend that is going to "model" some psychics (notably Uri Geller). My friend has an open mind and is interested whatever it is that they do. He is interested in talking to James Randi. Does anyone know of a phone number or address where my friend might be able to contact Randi? I have noticed several discussions in the recent past about Randi, I am hoping someone knows how to get in touch with him.

If nothing else, the Skeptical Inquirer itself might be able to give you many good pointers - all from the point of view of debunking charlatans, of course! -Brian Diehm Tektronix, Inc. P.S. - Don't flame me for posting instead of mailing the reply - I'm trying give visibility to a good journal doing what I believe is an important task in today's society - debunking the pseudoscience and cr*p spread in liberal quantities by rags like OMNI to respected sources like The New York Times (on occasion).
