This was probably a more exciting read thirty years ago, when it was written, because so many of the parapsychological organizations or ideas Randi writes about debunking don't exist anymore. Randi's frustration at the continuing gullibility of people who fall for "psychic" cons comes through a little too loudly at times, making some sections seem more strident than necessary. I was particularly interested in his account of Arthur Conan Doyle's fairies, as well as a few of the stories of people who knowingly conned others into believing they had psychic powers, but there were a couple of chapters I skimmed. But probably the most moving chapter was his discussion of religious cons, particularly the Jonestown massacre, that ends with Randi being furious at the misuse of religion to get gain or manipulate others. Randi continues to investigate parapsychological phenomena to this day, and I would love to see an updated version of this book.
