With tonight's premiere of NBC's Phenomenon, I thought it would be appropriate to point you to my latest Ask an Amateur Scientist column at PinkRaygun.com. Phenomenon is a reality show which claims to be the search for America's next great mentalist. It's co-hosted by magician Criss Angel and liar Uri Geller. I trust that Angel, who is a friend of James Randi's, will offer a skeptical take on the proceedings, but Geller is another story. In my column, I discuss Geller's sordid history as a psychic fraud and provide a link to video of James Randi destroying Geller on the Tonight Show. Read it here.
