Just another day at the office for the Skeptics convention - Las Vegas Weekly (blog)
James “The Amazing” Randi has spent 70 years performing magic and investigating paranormal claims.

There was no nodding off or going to the bathroom or fetch snacks if you wanted to stay on top of things with either film....
