uri geller

Very interesting BBC doc on mentalism, which covers the history of the art as well as spiritualism, psychics, etc. Interviewees include Randi, Geller, Derren Brown, David Berglas, and many others. Part 1 of 6 on Youtube: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=q_EjG-Oa3hE

Since there hasn't been one started, I thought I'd put down my thoughts on this year's International Magic Convention in London - specifically the recipient of the Berglas Foundation Award: Uri Geller. Now, I am a relative newcomer to magic. I've been doing it as a hobby for a couple of years -...

At TAM6 we were treated to a narrative from Teller explaining how to divert attention from a stressed spoon at causal gatherings. The spoons that Dr. W. gave us were all pre-stressed and you could see that clearly on the spoon. What I want to know is how can you prestress a spoon without...

I am not sure that this is the most appropriate sub-forum for this thread, but since this is where most Geller news seems to be discussed, I thought I would post it here. Mods, please move it elsewhere if you think that is appropriate. Linky Snipped from AP: He should have seen it...

Does Randi know about this? There is this film out called "Staya Erusa". They have a website. They have a DVD. They have Uri Geller. My brother (Dog Bless 'Im, but he buys a lotta weird stuff) left this DVD on my coffee table. Having finished my Physics homework, I decided to have a laugh. It's...

From the recent 'Geller issue' of Magische Welt. Nothing too unexpected in either interview.(Both in German) Berglas: http://www.zem.demon.co.uk/mwberglas.htm Randi: http://www.zem.demon.co.uk/mwrandi.htm Competent translations (better than Babel fish) welcome.

Was Dr. Andrija Pujarich Uri Geller's CIA handler?

This thread is in response to James Randi's request for "quotations from Uri Geller in which he firmly disavows any ability as a magician." Here are some: An interesting claim from Geller that shows him admit deceit:

I've just been reviewing and making posts on another forum, The Magic Cafe, and I was stunned by the amount of support for Jim Callahan and opposition to Criss Angel over the fight on Phenomenon on Halloween, 2007. I have always thought of magicians as a skeptical buch (Houdini, Carson, Randi...

Anyone have any information about this? http://www.uri-geller.com/courts.htm

A nice quick read of an encounter Richard Feynman had with Uri Geller back in 1975.

Alright, I did not know about this new show "Phenomenon" and that Uri Geller was on it. I cannot believe Uri is still around. GRRRRRR :mad:

I just finished watching Chris Angel on the Larry King show. High points (other than his tricks) were his statements on "psychics" -- there aren't any, what he does -- it's all trickery, Randi -- has devoted his life to exposing fraud, Uri -- if he makes any claims on the Phenonimum show about...

On October 21st the TV show Phenomena will be broadcast. Uri Geller and Chris Angel will host. Mr. Randi has something to say about this TV show... Personally, I find Randi's aggressive method long overdue as a method of battling ratings driven TV shows. James Randi not only can expose but can...

Randi threatens to "out" Phenomenon competitors who claim fraudulent abilities Randi states... Outstanding! The amount of television indoctrinating young and vulnerable viewers to supernatural or paranormal beliefs without presenting any rational rebuttal to these beliefs has gone much too...

Randi Vs. Geller http://www.nrg.co.il/online/4/ART1/637/364.html What do you mean you can't read hebrew? (psst, they're talking about the hungarian "successor" version. Randi says he'll expose Geller's tricks to the public. It gets even better than that. Randi will have his Hungarian show...

I watched the YouTube video, mentioned in "Joker Hoaxed", of the mobile cell tower hoax played on Uri Geller, and was astounded to find myself actually feeling sorry for this con artist! He is certainly “a litigious individual", but who wouldn't be tempted to call their lawyer (if they had one)...

I acquired a book of quotes recently (Foolish Words by Laura Ward (c)2003), and one of them caught my eye: I was sued by a woman who claimed that she became pregnant because she was watching me on television and I bent her contraceptive coil - Uri Geller I'd love to find out more about this...

I don't even know where to begin: http://newyork.craigslist.org/jsy/tlg/399011332.html Anybody here wanna take a crack at it???

15/08/07 or 08/15/07 for the Americans.2300hrs Earth Time. Uri Geller is appearing on Sally Morgan: Star Psychic. Saw this link http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/reality-tv/sally-morgan-star-pyshcic/ and noticed a stunningly honest quote, "Sally prides herself on being able to extract accurate...

Another day, another "darn these scruples stopping me from gaining riches beyond belief". Discovery channel show on wealthy Europeans, with the regular song and dance about Uri "science has no idea how this happens", "this astonishes scientists", and probably very altered accounts on his early...

Now.

If so, who cares? This is akin to the 'Does Sylvia Browne Smoke?' article on Lancaster wrote. If its true, so what. Just looks like you're desperate and going for the person to keep your grudge rather than being a real skeptic and going after a real claim.

I'm posting this link becasue there are more photos and videos than I can easily post here: http://depletedcranium.com/?p=57 This is a video I grabbed from youtube and captured a couple frames from and also blew-up and slowed down. I could only find it on youtube, and given the...

What the hell? Doesn't anyone at NBC have a frickin' memory? http://tv.yahoo.com/show/35539/news/urn:newsml:tv.ap.org:20070716:tv_celebrity_apprentice__ER
