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.
