Maddie Meets James Randi.

Our friends Dan and Ashley are involved with CFI the Center For Inquiry. This group, among other things, brings speakers such as the world famous James Randi to town. On Saturday night we went to see him. Have you ever seen that show Mythbusters? Well, James Randi has been mythbusting for almost 25 years since retiring from being a magician at age 60. He is now 83 and wow the man can still wow a crowd. He spoke for over two hours on subjects such as psychics, psychics healings and the dangers of homeopathic medicine.

He also performed this trick right before our very eyes:

And he also met Maddie.

We were in line to get in to the theatre and a man looking a lot like James Randi started to walk out. He seemed to be looking for someone. He was walking past us and then went straight to Maddie and said I need your assistance - can you come with me please?

And she disappeared. During the show, Maddie was called on to help Mr. Randi - here is the video:
