Randi and Magic

[dsm]

Having only seen Randi perform magic a few times on TV over the last few decades, I know that he is a great magician, but I don't know the extent of his magical knowledge. I know that Randi has put out many books of a skeptical nature on the paranormal and the like, but I wondered about what he's done in the realm of magic beyond performances:

• Has he invented any magic tricks?
• Are there any well known magic tricks based upon his ideas?
• If so, what tricks are of his creation?
• Does he consult with other magicians to (on occasion) produce new or different tricks?
• What would he consider his greatest work as a magician?

I just thought I'd inquire about the other side of James Randi without asking for any secrets.

I'm sure if you e-mail him, he'll respond. He's pretty good about that. A lot better than I am, and he's got a lot more going on in his life.
