Legendary magician James Randi has died. He was 92.

He was the subject of a fascinating film in 2015, which told his story. An Honest Liar (pictured).

The Randi Fundation tweeted: "We are very sad to say that James Randi passed away yesterday, due to age-related causes. He had an amazing life. We will miss him."

Fellow magician Penn Jillette tweeted: "Goodbye to the truly Amazing James Randi, our inspiration, mentor and dear friend. We will love you forever.@jref"

He also posted a recent picture of them together and added: "The last picture of me and Randi. I can’t type through the tears. This will be a hard day of making tv. I love you Randi. You invented us."

Derren Brown tweeted: "Very sad to hear of the passing of the legendary James Randi, which I believe happened yesterday. What a man, what a career."

Humanists Uk tweeted: "James Randi was an inspiration: a lodestar representing honesty, healthy scepticism, rational thought, and the very simple idea that knowing what's really true in this world genuinely matters – and can help you lead a better life. He led a great one and will never be forgotten."

Randi was a widely respected magician who was also keen to debunk the idea of paranormal power - though he preferred to describe himself as an investigator rather than a debunker. He also looked into the work of faith healers.

He appeared regularly on American television, and was often billed as "The Amazing Randi".
