I have followed the career of this old charletan since his early appearances on the Ed Sullivan and Tonight shows, and several times found the bravery to sneak close enough to his house in New Jersey in attempts to catch a glimpse of this magician extraordinaire. It is a sad thing to announce the following, but while there is life there is a chance that one of the greatest escape artists of all time might find a way out of this one.
Special Announcement
James Randi underwent bypass surgery last Thursday. He is currently in stable condition. He is receiving excellent care, but will need quiet time to recover. We will release more information as it becomes available, and we ask everyone to please respect the family's wishes for privacy at this time.
UPDATE: Thank you for the flood of good wishes flowing in for Randi's speedy recovery. Randi is hanging in there, and while his recovery is very slow, it is proceeding well. We're expecting a complete comeback, but it may take several months before he's back to his usual self. In the meantime, look for some special guest commentators in the Swift commentary, and business as usual for the JREF.
For those who feel a need to help, please consider donating blood at your local Red Cross or Community Blood Center. Cards may be sent to Randi in care of JREF, 201 SE 12 Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316.

Instead of blood I dropped off a bag a shit in case Randi needs another transfusion...
