Question

When testing those claiming to be able to see auras around people's heads, magician James Randi issued this challenge: "Then if I were to step behind a wall barely taller than I am, you could determine my location from the aura visible above my head, right?

Answer 1

The type of challenge that Randi presented shows his empirical approach.
