Randi gives an interesting overview of cases he has been interested in. And these cases are very diverse indeed, air, water and Uri are just a few areas. The book is terrible dated (Randi's prize is only 10K) and many things like the Bermuda triangle are almost never mentioned these days. He does explain many different kinds of cases from people who shoot pictures of their hands and faces to people who tip tables. Card sharks dowsing, and on and on. This book must have been useful when it was current.

I know Randi is more than a bit mean-spirited at times, but on the whole I appreciate this book: I'm quite sure there are real psychics out there somewhere...but so few that it's statistically unlikely anyone's ever going to claim Randi's prize. ( )
