Featured review
I admire Randi since I was a kid because he was passion about the truth, and his effort to expose BS. I always hear about he was a magician, but never got the chance to see him in those days. Gladly, this documentary tell his story from the beginning to the present, so there is a lot of footage of his magician days.
The story sometimes jumps back and forward, but I think in a good way. Overall is told chronologically.
A long story compress in so few minutes. But don't feel like was too short or too long.
Also is great to see people that was involve in all those stories talking about it in the present.
If you are a fan of Randi, for sure you most watch it.
