FORT LAUDERDALE -- The Amazing Randi" bends a fork with his mind. Right in front of you. Shakes it back and forth in his palms, and sure enough, a tine bends. Except that James Randi bent it, with his hand, when you weren't looking, even though you thought you were staring right at it. "They're tricks, pure and simple," he smiles. "Well, not so pure and simple."
He used good old distraction, the forte of any professional illusionist. Randi was once one himself. But he's spent most of his life shattering others' illusions.

It this the same guy that was on an episode of Happy Days? The one where he is supposed to be locked in a milk container filled with water and try to escape. He gets drunk because of stupid Potsie and Fonzi has to perform to save the charity variety show.

I don't know about the Happy Days show, but he's the one who used to go around and debunk the charlatans who were preying on the gullibility of others. Pen and Teller have picked up on Randi's crusade lately.
