Wow. Something wrong with both links for me. They are shortened or something.

I can't get the second one to work. Something about the compression of the file. I've tried VLC, MediaPlayer, and RealPlayer... none work.

The first video is great. I especially love the psychic surgery at the end. "whoops, that doesn't come out".

Although the second video isn't working for me either.

My Principles of Technology (Physics for Dummies) teacher showed some Randi videos (the first clip he had recorded when it actually aired) in his class and pissed off a couple of shit-kicking over zealous Christians in the class. Everyone who was watching, including me, was telling them to sit down and shut the fuck up.

It was quite funny.

When I was a kid in in New York in the early 1960's, James (the Amazing) Randi regularly appeared as a magician on Wonderama a local kid's TV show. James Randi was amazing then, and he's still amazing.

The first link is new for me, and it's really good. James Randi never ceases to amaze!

The second link, however, I've seen before. It's a great video; Randi is an awesome lecturer who's funny, entertaining, and informative all at the same time. For those having problems with the OP link, try going directly to the source at Princeton University's website (http://www.princeton.edu/WebMedia/lectures/). Just search for James Randi and you'll find the video in RealMedia or Windows Media format.

Oh and thanks for the links, CthulhuLives! If anybody knows of any more James Randi videos, please share. :)
