The James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) has put a few of Randi's lectures and older videos up on Google video:

James Randi Videos

These are some EXCELLENT lectures on critical thinking and how even VERY intelligent (PHDs) people can be fooled and tricked by simple techniques. They also show (distirbingly) how human nature sometimes REFUSES to give up cherished beliefs even when confronted by overwhelming evidence.

THIS 90-minute lecture given at a 2000 Australian Skeptic Society meeting is especially good. If you don;t have time to watch it streaming (who does?) you can use a capture utility, such as the fireFox plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/">VIDEODOWNLOADER</a> to save a copy to view later.

Also, feel free to visit the JREF website and read Randi's weekly article, SWIFT. or converse in the FORUMS
 
I was able to successfully download them with Firefox and Videodownloader in .AVI format. I'll be burning these to DVD for my library!

I watched the James Randi In Australia, the tonight show, and the 2000 convention videos. Great stuff, I wish they'd post more. :thumbsup:
