It\u2019s a rare person indeed who can trick and amaze people on one hand while reassuring them that what they are experiencing is not real. Meet Banacek. He\u2019s not only an illusionist, magician, mentalist extraordinaire, he\u2019s a skeptic\u2019s skeptic who for decades has been instrumental in exposing fraud and deception.

In this episode of Point of Inquiry, Jim talks to Banacek about his life as a performer, investigator, and man on a mission. Banchek talks about what led him into magic and mentalism, his relationship with James Randi, his new show at the Stratosphere, and more.
