Is Uri Geller psychic?
As is clearly referenced on his web site (for those interested in looking up the actual scientific evidence) Uri Geller has been tested in about a dozen laboratories around the world by some exceptionally well qualified scientist and the evidence provides supporting evidence for his psi abilities. However, his spoon bending and other magic tricks (he is a trained stage magician) that are performed in public under no scientific controls or observation are easily explained away by the skeptics and freely admitted by Geller to be tricks. Actually demonstrating his psi ability “tricks” under scientific laboratory conditions is something no magician or skeptic has yet to demonstrate in support of their “magic trick” conjecture.
Uri Geller is a fraud and has quite the checkered past. He’s a creep for the most part from what I can tell. His involvment with the CIA and “The Nine” is extremely revealing. Peter Levenda exposes the whole story quite well in his “Sinister Forces” series, but that’s heavier reading that the average person can handle.
My 8 year old daughter can bend spoons Uri Geller style. Its a lame trick, and Geller is a lame magician who pretends to be “psychic”. He has been well and truly debunked, time and time again. It seems these days he is backing down from his psychic claims. He failed famously on the Johnny Carson show, and here is a link to the video – it is well worth watching as it give good background info. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNKmhv9uo… Geller just adds to the body of evidence that there are no real psychics. Edit: “in an interview with German magazine Magische Welt (Magic World), Geller is quoted as saying: “I’ll no longer say that I have supernatural powers. I am an entertainer. I want to do a good show. My entire character has changed.” http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/?… That should sort out the last remaining true believers. The US G
No! Go to the James Randi Educational Foundation website for a complete debunking! He is a cheesy conjurer who has taken a very limited range (5) of tricks, which would not support a real stage act, and made a career out of pretending they represent real psychic powers. Heck, I’m just and amateur and I can replicate some of the things he does!
