James Randi Update - 2006/02/25 18:49 Randi has been moved to a regular hospital room...

http://ukskeptic.livejournal.com/120881.html

Please keep him in your prayers, keep your fingers crossed, sacrifice a goat, think happy thoughts or take whatever placebo you use whenever you can't control the outcome of a situation...

Me? I just say - Get well soon Randi! there is no possible use for a signature* except to demonstrate how funny/geeky/cynical/pathetic you are.

Mr. Randi continues to recover from his recent health challenges. He works each day toward getting better, and therefore he will not be answering e-mail for a while. We will update you as events warrant. Mr. Randi is deeply appreciative of the many kind wishes for his recovery.

For those who feel a need to help, please consider donating blood at your local Red Cross or Community Blood Center. Cards may be sent to Randi in care of JREF, 201 SE 12 Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316.

Audio message from Randi - 2006/03/19 17:04 There's now an audio message from the great man, posted on his site.

He still sounds a little rough but assures us that he's feeling better and will be back "tilting at windmills" in a couple of weeks...

:-D there is no possible use for a signature* except to demonstrate how funny/geeky/cynical/pathetic you are.

Randi's latest Prot?g??? - 2006/04/26 19:58 Hey everyone, I just checked randi.org and it looks like the Amazing Randi is back to writing the whole swift newsletter again, so it's good to see he is recovering.

Anyways he pointed out a new up and coming magician from Japan named Cyril Takayama. It's something all magic fans should check out, as he does some pretty impressive illusions. He reminds me of watching teller because I can't understand what he says anyways

the video that Randi points out is this onebut there are tons more on yourtube.com

I personaly liked this trick.

Looks good, thanks for the reminder about Randi and his health.
By the way, the URL for the first one is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNcAqDADb-g&search=cyril, in case someone had a problem tracking it down (the {url} tag needs "http://" to link properly)

Lastest on Randi - 2006/05/20 20:57 Next week James Randi will be appearing as a guest on the Skeptic podcast "the Skeptics guide to the Universe" http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ The next show won't be up untill next weekend, However if you a big skeptic like me I highly recomend checking out some of their old podcasts (they have them all archived) Randi was a guest on an earlier show a few months back too.
