The first time I saw James Randi he was hauling a load of fresh chicken guts out of a guy’s stomach.
Of course, in my eagerness to make it sound like a good story I’ve jazzed that up a bit. The chicken guts were real and the guy’s stomach was real (he was an innocent audience member who’d been recruited for the purpose of demonstration), but the pull-outage was clever sleight-of-hand. The year was 1982 and the occasion was a lecture demonstration at Cornell University. The point was demonstrating how “psychic surgeons” achieve their effects.
