"An Honest Liar" on Netflix

It is a documentary covering the Amazing Randy, who made a career out of exposing frauds. Well worth a watch.

 

Watched it a week ago. Excellent watch.

 

Just added it to my list. I'll give it a look.

 

Amazing indeed. If you liked that one you should watch the Netflix doc on Ricky Jay, one of the best sleight-of-hand magicians of all time.

 

Enjoyed this. The marriage thing was an unexpected twist...an unlikely couple.

 

Turning it on to watch right now.

 

I have been a big fan of his for a decade and had no idea.

 

No one did until about two years ago (I think) when he casually mentioned it on his blog.

 

A little weird that he practically was begging on camera for that portion not to be in the film, the director says fine - don't worry it won't be, and then makes it in anyways.

 

Was a note at the end stating that Randy gave him permission for all interview footage to be included in the film. After dude was sentenced, I suppose his statements were no longer incriminating.

 

It was weird, but ya it looks like things changed when the judge ruled favorably for time served plus probation/community service.

 

Ah, I obviously missed that. Thanks.

Thanks for the rec, IP. It was definitely a great watch.
