You might want to take a look at the techniques/slide decks that people have used when they've attempted similar things in the past. I remember there being at least a few discussion posts on rationality-spreading-tactics.
I think I'm seconding this when I say that one of the most rational of Muggle studies has been magic, in the sense of stage illusionism. There's a long history of stage magicians -- beginning at least with Houdini -- debunking self-declared spiritualists and psychics and so on. James Randi, Penn and Teller, and even Johnny Carson spring to mind.
