I don't know how to contact Randi directly, but he may be contacted through
the magazine "The Skeptical Inquirer" at:

     James Randi
     c/o The Skeptical Inquirer
     3025 Palo Alto Drive N.E.
     Albuquerque, NM   87111

The Skeptical Inquirer is the official journal of the Committee for the
Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.  James Randi is listed
as a "Fellow of the Committee" and also as a member of the editorial board
of the Inquirer itself.

If nothing else, the Skeptical Inquirer itself might be able to give you
many good pointers - all from the point of view of debunking charlatans, of
course!

P.S. - Don't flame me for posting instead of mailing the reply - I'm trying
       give visibility to a good journal doing what I believe is an important
       task in today's society - debunking the pseudoscience and cr*p spread
       in liberal quantities by rags like OMNI to respected sources like The
       New York Times (on occasion).  Subscriptions are $16.50/year for four
       issues.  Subscription address is:

       The Skeptical Inquirer
       Central Park Station
       Box 229
