I'd like to see an Amazing Randi Lecture! can you guys make it happen?

I was thinking it would be amazing if Penguin magic could set up a lecture with the Amazing James Randi. He isn't young and it'd be something memorable to see him do some tricks and talk about them and a little about himself as a performer.

I agree, bring The Amazing Randi so he can talk about his life and debunking, while showing a few tricks to illustrate what he talks about.

Really hope a live lecture with him happens before it's too late, and Mr. Harlan is an excellent host, so definitely would be a great lecture/interview.

I'm starting to think that many of the newest magicians now days might not know who the Amazing Randi is, I feel they need to have an idea who he is, give them a chance to escape the modern magician and mentalist. I feel its always good to fall back on things and discover the roots of the trade and also i find you can re invent the wheel in away when doing so. Here is a youtube video with Penn and Teller talking a little bit about James Randi. If you haven't heard of him i encourage all of you to take a moment and look him up. (down below is the link to a 2 minute video that i mentioned)

true but it'd be even more amazing if Penguin did one with him, actually have Dan interview him, maybe brush over everything that we know about him from the documentary on him and the youtube and google videos and hear him actually talk about how he started, what got him started, get an idea of his thought process when he built acts and maybe hear about failed attempts at things to, things we hate to admit but happens some times. Even seeing him teach us all a little something. I know its asking a lot, and he is getting older.
