Connection : this connects to the website because as James Randi is a regular on “the tonight show” he unfortunately passed away, the website was describing how much his life impacted his fans and talked a little bit about himself such as his life story and a small contribution to his honor. Randi was known for his insane magic tricks and his straightjacket tricks! His man used different tricks and ways to trick the audience in plain sight. He made a career of tricking  psychics, faith healers and fortune tellers from all over. Many believe he is a scam and there are some details we aren't being told. Many people loved Randi for his popular appearances on “on the tonight show!” 

Connection: While his reputation as a magician grew, he also began to campaign against spiritualists and psychics, showing that he never forgot the believers or their vulnerability to exploitation. This connects to the act that a lot of people don't understand the “magic”  when its just natural medicine and herbs, he gave a harsh stigma on pseudoscience as some believe its not real because he told them its not real therefore people do not practise it which makes it not often viewed in the public eye. 

campaigning against pseudoscience and debunking claims about the paranormal. Among his targets were faith healers, evangelists claiming spiritual powers, and homeopathic medicine. 

Connection:  this article connects different people who practiced pseudoscience medicine and healing tricks. For example: In the mid-1980s, Peter Popoff became wildly popular because of his so-called faith-healing activities. Randi investigated and subsequently revealed some of Popoff's methods. This sparked some issues in the healing practice. 

Connection:  Miss Sylvia Browne (prior winner) is an exception in that she's the only professional psychic in the whole world that has accepted the challenge of proving her magic is real. She did this on the "Larry King Live" show on CNN six and a half years ago. The red flags in his ted talk was the fact that they haven't heard from the winner since the end of the challenge which is a pseudoscience red flag for me. The connection is that Randi was a skeptic, he didn't believe in tricking people. James Randi takes a fatal dose of homeopathic sleeping pills onstage, kicking off an 18-minute indictment of irrational beliefs. He throws out a challenge to the world's psychics:” Prove what you do is real, and I'll give you a million dollars”. To this day no one has proven the challenge yet as one tried but failed to succeed or be heard from again. This is why people believe magic isn't real as skeptics crack down on tricks.

Talks about Psychics, ESP, Unicorns, and Other Delusions is a 1980 book by magician and skeptic James Randi about paranormal, occult, and pseudoscience claims. this connects to all pseudoscience and mystical energy and homeopathy treatments.
