"What? Oh, oh, 'just rebuild it'? Oh, real [bleep]ing original. And who's gonna give me a loan, jackhole? You? You got an ATM on that torso LiteBrite?" |

No, but Hint: This person was pretty much the James Randi of his country (which isn't a Western country). |

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Again I missed your post!
Yes! Basava Premanand was known as the Guru Buster. He traveled about a "target-rich" nation, demonstrating the "magical" feats of fakirs, showing how they were done by prosaic means. He upped the stakes of Abraham Kovoor's existing challenge to Indian mystics to prove they could pull off their magic under scientific scrutiny, offering 100,000 Indian Rupees.
As with James Randi's Million-Dollar Challenge, none has ever shown their tricks to be real, or collected.
Basava Premanand died in 2009.
