Overview

An Honest Liar tells the incredible story of the world-famous magician, escape artist, and world-renowned enemy of deception, James 'The Amazing' Randi. The film brings to life Randi's intricate investigations that publicly exposed psychics, faith healers, and con-artists with quasi-religious fervor. A master deceiver who came out of the closet at the age of 81, Randi created fictional characters, fake psychics, and even turned his partner of 25 years, Jose Alvarez, into a sham guru named Carlos.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A spirited documentary portrait of a magician who weaponized his own mastery of illusion to expose fraudsters and protect the vulnerable. It's both an intellectual thriller and a surprisingly intimate look at a life spent chasing truth through elaborate deception.
