There's a great documentary on Netflix called an Honest Liar that goes through Randi's entire career with him as the main narrator.

Unfortunately it looks like Uri Geller is still out there today and still making lots of money from cons.

Randi also exposed Peter Popoff, an evangelist who wore an earpiece and was fed info about audience members.

Unfortunately Peter too is back out there grifting millions. Last I read he was selling miracle water.

I'm in the wrong industry.

are there bootcamps for con-artist evangelism?

there are for blockchains and crypto currency.

So...yes?

You could try the local jail.

usually its done by a more old school direct apprentice type thing.

Harold Puthoff, one of the SRI researchers who studied Geller, was in the news somewhat recently. He was involved in that "navy UFO" business. He co-founded the "To The Stars Academy", which produced a History Channel documentary about the videos and the findings of the "Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program" which Senator Harry Reid had spearheaded. Incidentally, he was also involved in the "research" conducted under that program (including some real goofy stuff[1]). It's always sad to learn the government funded pseudoscience, but at least they only wasted $22 million.

I wish I could have heard Randi's thoughts on it all, given he was familiar with some of the people.
