An Honest LiarNovember 19, 2015

This is a feature-length documentary about the world-famous magician, escape artist, and world-renowned enemy of deception, James 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, the artist Jose Alvarez, into a sham guru named Carlos. But when a shocking revelation in Randi's personal life is discovered, it isn't clear whether Randi is still the deceiver - or the deceived.

An Honest Liar was broadcast on SBS ONE at Sunday 12 November 2017, 16:25. This episode was initially placed on Thursday 13 August 2015.
