# Al Seckel

> Alfred Paul Seckel was an American collector and popularizer of visual and other types of sensory illusions, who wrote books about them. Active in the Freethought movement as a skeptic in the 1980s, he was the co-founder and executive director of the Southern California Skeptics. News coverage arising from his connection to Jeffrey Epstein has stressed Seckel's misrepresentation of his education and credentials. In 2010, Seckel provided reputation management services for Epstein. He died in France in 2015.
