CGiii Comment
James 'The Amazing' Randi comes out of the closet - at 81 years old.
And, for a magician, he has a few more tricks (i.e. lies) tucked up his sleeve.
It's all about deception.
Here's a man who went on a crusade to debunk the psychics and spoon-benders et al...here's a man who deceived them all.
He's a [deceptively] sweet little old man now...with an impressive story to tell.
A fine portrait of a rather extraordinary man.

AN HONEST LIAR is a feature documentary about 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, 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.
