Summary: Amazingly, some STILL think the Earth is square!!!!
Comment: Fortunately, Randi doesn't have to teach us that there are no unicorns or Tooth Fairies, but he does try to cover all the other wierd and foolish things people believe (or have believed at some time in their life.) If you know better, then this book will be intertaining, if you are still a believer - this book will give you some real anxiety.

Summary: Beliefs Are NOT Delusions!
Comment: While I respect the writing style and the author(s) opinions, you cannot simply "dismiss" as delusions, various cultures beliefs and experience with the paranormal.
I myself have used various psychic services, including a psychic who accurately told me my past - and foretold my future! (I cannot post the url, but the title is Psychic Tarot Spells and she is coming out with a book soon!)
Too many cultures around the world have certain similarities in their experiences. Yes, there are some shysters out there, but trust me, if some of it were not true, we would discard these things in the same vein with outdated beliefs that the world is "square".

Summary: A classic of skepticism
Comment: Anyone who can believe in psychi mind-reading, spiritism, Uri Geller's spoon-bending, dowsing for water, reading auros, the efficacy of biorythyms, Erich Von Daniken's nonsense, pyramidology, and any other of a number of "supernatural" feats after reading this classic of skepticism either didn't really read it, is willfully blind, or is hopelessly duped.
Randi shows not only how psychics, spiritists, and numbers other fakes ply their disgustingly deceptive wares, but also recounts numerous incidents when Randi "put up" (He is now offering not $10,000 but $1 million.) and the then-discredited fraud refused to "shut up."
