My father gave me Flim Flam back in my early teenage years. It has played a pivotal role in developing my critical-thinking skills. I wish this book was required reading in high school.

Walter, I highly recommend his book Flim-Flam.

I have not read his material but after watching him  pick things apart on video made me listen .

BTW, has anyone noticed that Mr. Randi looks a lot like Leonard the wizard on Ugly Americans.

David, thanks for sharing. Flim-flam is a classic of the skeptical movement. I made this  and the Michael Shermer page because I am a huge fan of both men's work and skepticism needs some loving on this site.

I was already a skeptic when I read James Randi’s "Flim Flam", but I was new to it.  The book helped me get my head around just how much of the unbelievable claims was scams, bad reasoning and credulity.
