An Honest Liar @ SLIFF

For the last half-century, James "The Amazing" Randi has entertained millions of people around the world with his remarkable feats of magic, escape, and trickery. But Randi was enraged when saw his beloved magician's tricks being used by faith healers, fortune tellers, and psychics to steal money and destroy lives, and he's dedicated his life to exposing those frauds. Perpetrating a series of unparalleled investigations and elaborate hoaxes, Randi has fooled scientists, the media, and a gullible public, but always with a deeper goal of demonstrating the importance of evidence and the dangers of magical thinking. His work exposing faith healers won him the prestigious MacArthur "Genius" Award in 1987. When dealing with a master deceiver, however, the truth can often be hard to find: The film also follows Randi and his partner through a dramatic -- and potentially devastating -- twist in their own lives. With appearances by Adam Savage, Penn & Teller, Bill Nye, and Alice Cooper, "An Honest Liar" is an exciting and thought-provoking film: a detective story, a biography, and a bit of a magic act itself.
