Uri Geller's answer to the ridiculous accusations of magnets

[chicarbiomed]

This proves he likes to sit hot girls at the front of his audience?

[TenemaesLament]

OHMYGOD!!!! magnets work!!

[TyTyMcBerg]

hahah, it's easy to hide a magnet anywhere, even on your skin with flesh colored tape. i love how he HAS to move a compass too, no one has ever seen him 'magically' move a non-magnetic object have they?

[peacefuljeffrey]

It's probably inside his fucking MOUTH, you goddamned MORON!

[peacefuljeffrey]

Only MORONS believe this fucking lying fraudster Uri Geller. He is a living piece of lying shit. FUCK you who insist he's legitimate. You have shit for brains.

[KingSalmar]

what a homo

[wideheadofknowledge]

he has a magnet in his left hand

[gabrielcrimson]

@wideheadofknowledge No the blonde on the right has the magnet this time. uri geller is such a fucking tool lol.

[mehashi]

What a clown.

[lucavigg]

His spectacles or in his hair. Look how close he holds his head this time. YAWN!

[PatrickSebastian]

What a fakin idiot faker.

[Darkhawk18]

No one finds it funny he used his OWN device BOTH time?

[shonufatown]

he is fake

[Veeno00]

Hey, this time instead of just getting his hand close to the compass, he also gets his face, with glasses on it, extremely close to the compass.

Yes, you've convinced me - he's truly inventive.

[NoahRobertMiller]

Most likely the face but there's also a really weird cut away-- why would you do that when you're proving that its not trickery.

Also I'd like to note how before it was really difficult and required a big production and all the audiences "good feelings" but this go around it takes all of 20 seconds to actually do the trick.

[ebrobaru]

any semi talented magician can

[MMAProfessor]

@ebrobaru I did'nt ask if someone else could. Could you replicate this theory? Coz so far, I am the only one who have and dare uploading it.

[ebrobaru]

@MMAProfessor no, because I am not a magician or a trickster. But anyone who knows sleight of hand could.

[MMAProfessor]

@ebrobaru again, so far. I am the only one replicated the theory and uploaded a video. I am not a magican, trickster or posess the knowlege of sleight of hands.

Why don't you try , you don't have to be a magican to replicate the theory "Put a magnet on your thumb, hold it 15cm above a compass and try to affect it"

[ebrobaru]

@MMAProfessor even if it is fake, you have to practice it and make it look perfect. I´ll give that to Uri, he was an accomplished performer. WHat`s your point anyway? That you can perform the trick too? So what? So do countless other people

[MMAProfessor]

@ebrobaru No, I can't perform the "trick" nor can anyone else from the theory skeptics have created. I have showed every skeptic willing to open thier eyes that it's impossible with the chosen setup and also that it goes against physical laws.

I still challange anyone to replicate this theory and get the same results as Uri. Noone have , nor will ever.

[ebrobaru]

@MMAProfessor If you could really do it you would re-write the boo on physics as we know it. However can you do it in front of someone with some background to spot trickery? Say someone like Randi?

[MMAProfessor]

@ebrobaru wow, bro... you are slow.

I replicated the theory, but I did'nt get the same results. What do you make of that?

[ebrobaru]

@MMAProfessor that you didn´t do it well. Obviously

[MMAProfessor]

@ebrobaru then why don't you show me how it's done, or any other skeptic for that matter.

[ebrobaru]

@MMAProfessor @MMAProfessor Because it takes skill, a performer skill, which Uri is. You and I are not. Get it?

[MMAProfessor]

@ebrobaru okey, then how does he do it?

[ebrobaru]

@MMAProfessor with skill. With a very concealed magnet. Not with his "mind". I though that was clear

[MMAProfessor]

@ebrobaru how does he do it with a magnet? On his thumb?

[ebrobaru]

@MMAProfessor that is one of several places he could hide it

[RebornAleph]

@MMAProfessor Wow. You show an obvious will to believe more than you have access to in your life. So basically, because nobody can "prove" that it isn't a simple trick, it means it's not?

You do realize the ignorant hypocrisy behind it, correct? Here's your belief:

"Nobody can prove it's a trick. So, it's not a trick."

Here's that of a... "skeptic":

"Nobody can prove it's not a trick. So, it is."

Without trying to offend you, hypocrisy has a limit, until it starts to become comical.

[MMAProfessor]

@RebornAleph Offtopic, and stop assuming.

No, you are wrong. Noone have proven it coz it's a false theory. It doesn't add up, it goes AGAINST LAWS OF PHYSICS!

No.

Who did you quote?

Who did you quote there?

I have challenged skeptics to replicate the theory for 2 years now, noone can replicate it and come up with the same results. Fact: Noone have even tryed.

Why is that?

[RebornAleph]

@MMAProfessor Thank you for confirming it.

What happens in movies goes against the laws of physics. Does that mean they don't exist? Does that mean it's magic?

If you don't realize the hypocrisy behind your own pseudoargument, than you are in no way classified to be called "Professor".

I was not quoting, I was paraphrasing. Again, amazing that your "Professor" status did not allow you to grasp that.

Fact: No one that YOU KNOW has ever tried. You are in no means associated with the entire planet.

[MMAProfessor]

@RebornAleph What are you talking about?

I never said that. Stop assuming.

Please, keep it at a lower level of English since it's not my mother tongue.

Also, you are offtopic.

Offtopic.

Answer my question, why should I answer your questions when you don't answer mine?

Troll.

[RebornAleph]

@MMAProfessor You again show no capacity to represent a professor in any kind.

Again, I did not assume, I paraphrased what you said. If you have trouble to communicate clearly, then that is understandable that I may have misinterpreted.

English is not my mother language either. It is actually Portuguese.

You seem to have a lot of difficulty grasping what is, indeed, in-topic, or off-topic, considering I was answering a direct question.

My diagnosis is more than satisfactory. Not worthy.

[MMAProfessor]

@RebornAleph Offtopic, troll.

Then tell me what you paraphrased in to "What happens in movies goes against the laws of physics. Does that mean they don't exist? Does that mean it's magic?"

And you seems to have huge problems with answer questions.

Also, bessewisser. If you having problems making yourself easy to understand, then you are the problem, not me. If you want to, we can switch this conversation to Swedish.

[RebornAleph]

@MMAProfessor Ugh. God. Sorry, but no thank you. I keep feeling like I'm arguing with a 12 year old child.

I'm out. You win. Rage on.

[MMAProfessor]

@RebornAleph Hahahaha, troll.

[illusionistdave]

@MMAProfessor Might want to do that research again. People have replicated it.

[MMAProfessor]

@illusionistdave source?

[wontonga]

LOOK WELL!  He throws his head and face toward the compass. The MAGNET is taped under the center of his EYE GLASSES!!!!

[wontonga]

URI GELLER IS A FAKE!!!!! He uses a magnet in the EYE-GLASSES. Watch again and see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wontonga]

Notice how he doesn't use his hands this time. He uses his face.

The tiny magnet could be in his EYE GLASSES, his mouth, taped anywhere on his face or under his chin.

He's a fraud. Everyone knows it.

[MMAProfessor]

can you replicate the theory?

[wontonga]

@MMAProfessor

Absolutely.

[ecrituresuspension]

A girl has a magnetic belt. She approches and it's done ! (if not, why does he needs girls on the stage ?

[xxxsde]

this fucker has a magnetised frame!!he should be jailed for fooling people around the world..this loser cannot even lift his dick let alone anything else!!1

[RadSucur]

these germans exceptional engineers but donkeys for believing this wanker who bends dicks

[OffensiveBehaviorTV]

The girls have the magnet

[MMAProfessor]

Magnet theory busted over a year ago, try again.

[Jepperto]

lololol

[Upsilon1982]

My God. He's a fake.

[ebrobaru]

Such a fraud. I can´t believe that still some people think that he is real.

[LaPaixDJ]

This time, instead of a sticky magnet on his hand, he had the frame of his eye glasses magnetized. As he moves his head downward toward the compass, the the frame disrupts the needle's magnetic north direction. I hope this helps. lol. the trick here is the MAGNETIZED FRAME

[MMAProfessor]

awesome, I give you this challange, replicate your theory and get the same result, I donate my entire magnet collection if you manage it.

[pitbull103]

I learned the old magnet trick in camp in 1981. Good trick. He could also have a false flesh-colored finger cap with the magnet. Many devious ways to get this done. Yes, why not do it from 20 feet? Does mind power have a 1-foot limit?

[beegeero]

if you alow uri to prepare his tricks, he always will do his tricks, but, under strict conditions in a neutral place, he never can do his tricks.

[tommyk77]

James Randi already showed how every one of his tricks can be replicated withing science. Uri is a fraud.

Why is the magnet accusation ridiculous? The ridiculous thing is believing this, without considering the alternative possibilities

[Zingo33]

Of course he still had a magnet somewhere. We're not stupid and gullible.

[JadeTomZ]

what a fraud.

lol..idiot bagle

[luappmek23]

there is a very simple question, if its not magnitism stand twenty feet away uri, then perform the trick?

[lesliekwan80]

He already messed up the first time. You can't give him a second chance to NOT fuck it up. lol. He could've easily hid the magnet anywhere. It could still be in his mouth, the way you hide chewing gum. Or as some of you had said, in his glasses. The guy has so much money, he probably got it surgically implanted into his thumb. What a sham.  Just like John Edward, that dude who supposedly talks to dead people.

[jcgmed]

If Geller can melt a spoon to break it in two...can he remelt every piece to bond those pieces together ?

[mentat37]

If Geller can move things with mind power alone, why does it always have to be compasses? Answer - magnets. Duh.

[freglgegl]

HarrHarr! Where´s the Magnet now Uri? And why are u wearing theses glasses?

He´s definetly a GIANT DOUCHE!!

;-)

[Transmissionwould]

Uri Geller is a pedderass

[bladewalker90210]

ZUZ!.dumb audience

[andyken]

the key is his glasses, contain some magnet, see as jrich360 stated, he put his head down with his fist, so lame

[quintroon]

Search for clic glasses on Amazon

[realromanian]

u r right at the first time when he has do the trick with the micromagnet on his thum he didn´t put his head down but now he has. He is a jew and jews always know how to cheat people to claim ther money

[Listendudeok]

Uri Geller is just a little pathetic lier.

The only amazing thing is how he made a career out those cheap little street tricks.

[jrich360]

He put his head down where his fist was..easily could have been concealed in his glasses, look where his head is when he does it. This guy is a clown..but people like to be entertained but this is lame. Wow..ah ahh stop the bleeding help me aahh ahh I can't take it....ahhh Why don't he shove a carrot up his ars and spit it out of his mouth what a trick that would be....not the baby carrots either.

[soadfan2008]

dude the whole damn table could be prepared!!!! u don´t need magnets to do this! i can do this too, just a prepared table!!!!

[BobinTell]

If I were Cartman from the South Park I would say some very insulting things.

Well, anyways, he's a crap.

[scurvyband]

If you were Cartman, you would say:

"Now how the hell did he do that?"

[torgman]

No, Fatass would believe him like he did David Blaine. Stan, tho, would call him a douche.

[MAGICnewyork]

My questions are: Why didn't the compass BEND? How come he doesn't make spoons SPIN? And the greatest question os all: WHY HASN'T THIS MAN BEEN ARRESTED FOR FRAUD? He is OBVIOUSLY a fake! James Randi and Johnny Carson have both disabled his "powers". James Randi and Johnny Carson were both educated in the ways of magicians. Coincidence? I think not!

[Tigers12324]

ohes noes, did randi teleblock geller? I hope he has protect from mage on, lol. (RS fans will know) I dont play RS btw.

[ghetoclass]

how can a magnet stick on skin and i not seeing the magnet,its invisible,lol.

[Aruifalac]

Now one of the girls had the magnet. She is putting it on behind the baloon

[HiFiApartment]

look at the James Randi videos on you tube. he is a i charlatan.

[T2TD]

this sucks super special awesome ultra mega polynomial denominator pancake turner arctic zebra balls

[Esaron]

he tries to prove the debunk wrong by showing no possible magnets, yet when his face gets close it moves? he opened himself up for it yet again...

[Metallic7Dust]

haha... how does this video prove anything?

[ShawnPerry]

It proves that uri is a faggot

[Nebzz]

I think it's glasses, but just now watching it again I noticed he is wearing an ear piece (headphone) in his left ear. Anyone know how speakers work?

Anyways, as James Randi says "if he does these miracles by divine power, he's doin' it the hard way"

[Prometheus666333]

I want to see him do it naked. Then I'll believe him.

[robotrocket]

uri is of full of the shit...we all knowing it is trick, but uri is saying no it is mind...WHAT PIECE OF SHIT RUBBISH TO YOU URI! we have more repect if you confess...this then at least i am able to be watching him again, with out shitting myself with the embarrasment of it all...grow up uri, you getting old fart now.

[Junkyousha]

Glasses

[whiteNshine]

you idiots instead of testosteroning each other, the skeptics could just post whats wrong in his video's.

[whiteNshine]

and he is bending so his glasses are almost near contact with the compass, so there must be a device in his glasses. What an idiot.

[whiteNshine]

and now mister fraud touches the metal conection between his glasses right before he moves the compass.

...I appreciate the offer to message you, but I try not to directly email people off of forums. I mean, it's just YouTube, right? A fun way to distract yourself from writing your end-of-year essays (which is what's been going on here the past few days).

P.S. I figure you'll want to get the "last word" in, and that's cool (ha ha, like I could stop you?). I've got to get my lazy ass back to work, anyway. Thanks for the debate, fox. Take good care of yourself.

[fox220]

it's HIS tv show, he can do whatever he likes beforehand to set up the stage, and you think this is legit? James Randi proved this guy a fraud and it was indisuptable - look it up! the videos are on youtube.

[AmericanCyrano]

James Randi didn't really PROVE anything about Gellar, but just identified ALTERNATE WAYS someone could do what he does.

Don't get me wrong, I don't buy Gellar's stuff. But still, no one's really been savvy enough to definitively prove him wrong.

[fox220]

WRONG... he advised the tonight show host to set gellar up, providing their OWN spoons and various household items and asked him to do the same tricks using their equipment. Gellar shat the bed.

[AmericanCyrano]

Again, I think it sure is suspicious as Hell, but it doesn't come close to "proving" anything. Scientifically, something can only be "proven" (or "disproven") through repeated experiments... i.e. ONE failure does not constitue an identifiable pattern.

[fox220]

Well, evidence is based on the ability to reproduce an action with controls. What do you want him to do, ask him to FAIL repeatedly 1,000 times before you're happy? Come on. It's been proven to any rational persons satisfaction, since uri has never 'proven' otherwise, we must assume he is a fraud, a con man, and a cheat. And I think it's uri's responsibility to prove he is NOT a fraud since he is the one making the claims.

[fox220]

imagine it like a court of law, where the lawyer put gellar on the spot and asked him to reproduce his claims with controls for the jury. He would fail, and you think the jury would say 'oh well, it's not really PROVEN is it'... no?! they would convict him for fraud.

[AmericanCyrano]

(1 of 2)

fox,

...this would only happen if it were a corrupt trial.

It would be like putting the world's strongest man "on the spot" to spontaneously dead lift 1,100 lbs (under intense psychological pressure, with no warm-up, on what could possibly be an off day) and then convicting him for fraud if he didn't deliver.

(1 of 2)

[AmericanCyrano]

(3 of 2 ...yeah, I know "3 doesn't fit into "2"—I just came up with more to say)

Again, I should say that I don't believe in Gellar's works, and I admit that Gellar is making some pretty lofty claims, for which he should show some more reliable proof... I mean, he doesn't HAVE to "fail repeatedly 1000 times"; I'd take 1000 successes, if he could produce them.

[AmericanCyrano]

(3 of 2 ...yeah, I know "3 doesn't fit into "2"—I just came up with more to say)

Also, the fact of the matter is that every wo/man is innocent until proven guilty; and saying that Gellar is a "con-man" is a hypothesis and an accusation... and accusations need to be verifiably proven, just like Gellar's lofty claims need to be.

[AmericanCyrano]

Plus, just how is it that you know how every rational person feels? Afterall, there is technically more evidence supporting Gellar-- as he has ALREADY shown repeated successful examples of his "power" (under admittedly informal conditions with very few identifiable controls), and has only REALLY failed once (under equally informal conditions while being confronted by a self righteous Atheist and a magician-turned-talk-show-host­... although, "self righteous" is really just my opinion).

[fox220]

"I don't buy Gellar's stuff." to "as he has ALREADY shown repeated successful examples of his "power"" - pretty big jump in the series of a few messages. seriously no point arguing you, I don't think even you understand your position. Message me if you'd like to continue, personally I think it's a moot point, as MAGICAL WIZARDS DON'T EXIST IRL, dummy. Disappointing, but true.

[AmericanCyrano]

(1 of 3)

My position is simple: I THINK Gellar's a fake-- but I won't pretend that I know FOR SURE. Therefore, as a rational thinking creature, I feel compelled to analyze both sides of the argument (as opposed to blindly clinging to the comfort of writing off things I don't understand as nonexistent, and allowing hindsight/observer-expectancy bias to bolster me)... ha ha ha, ignore what I put in the parenthesis, I'm just being playful ...

[AmericanCyrano]

(2 of 3)

...so far as my "pretty big jump"-- I put the word "power" in quotes because that's GELLAR'S word choice, not mine. Sorry I didn't make that clear. You see, I "don't buy Gellar's stuff" IN LIEU OF the fact that "he has ALREADY shown repeated successful examples of his 'power'", because those "examples" weren't conducted as formally as I'd like. However, even though the formality of those examples didn't completely meet with my standards, I cannot completely discredit them, either...

[AmericanCyrano]

...I appreciate the offer to message you, but I try not to directly email people off of forums. I mean, it's just YouTube, right? A fun way to distract yourself from writing your end-of-year essays (which is what's been going on here the past few days).

[fox220]

Sorry guy, but wizards don't exist IRL.

[nelg70]

hHve you thought that he might have a foot pedal or button on the floor that he stands on to allow a magnet to come to affect the compass within the aparatus. electric magnet?

[marzc2006]

maybe magnetic glasses

[Gramsk]

Uri is definitely onto something here though...pretending that he's psychic to scam chicks.

I'm sure it works brilliantly.

[severmine]

you noticed it, too!

those girls wanted to run off, FAST! lol

[severmine]

wait... eyal52, who posted this video, was being sarcastic right?

cause he cant be that stupid right?

[Gramsk]

LOL. You'd think so eh?

[severmine]

accusation: he uses magnets!

eyal52: that cant be right, he didnt use magnets here!

...

i hope he's like a kid or something

and not THAT STUPID

[stratcat944]

Uri Geller is a total fraud! It's about time people started waking up to his scam.

[Gramsk]

The magnet is actually in his mouth..probably under his tongue. He only opens his mouth for a second to show us 'nothing' is in there. Now notice the compass only moves when he puts his head very close to it.

[penguin141]

I'd like to see him do this trick with his hands, face, and other body parts away from a compass that I provide him with. Then I might kind of believe it. Maybe. Not really.

Oh, and as an English speaker, I learned absolutely nothing from watching this video. Some translation would be nice.

[TheFallibleFiend]

Some people are gullible.

[Y0rMoma]

He's been doing the same tricks for years, he would conv. peps more if he did difrent things like walk into starbucks and take an empty cup and move that, just an exmp. doesn't hafe to be that but u know diffrent is good

[soltam155]

that uri geller is convinced that WE are all stupids

[severmine]

lol

so true

[nihalatsiz]

just cause he is fake does not mean we should be able to find out all if his tricks. like an illusionist most people dont know how copperfield does his stuff yet we all (including him) that all he does is just an illusion. the main difference between uri and david is that uri says he is doing it with pyschic powers yet both of them are illusionists. point.

[ChrisSketch]

Then he should admit to being an illusionists and not the fantasticly false claim that he is a psychic.

[kevinpalooza]

What did he want to prove, that he's a pervert invading the spaces of pretty girls when they clearly want to get away from him?

[coolaun]

This video doesn't prove anything. It shows Uri doing a trick, for which there are many simple explanations apart from the "supernatural" one. What this clip does demonstrate is that Uri is still a showman, and capable of jumping up as soon as he's been hit down.

[CleanBlackRaiser]

In the Geller "scandal" video he scratches his left thumb with his right hand. There's no false thumb in the following frames. The white thing on his thumb is a highlight from the spotlights. The people with him have white-tipped fingers too. Is his hair long enough to hide a thumb? Where does paranormal end and stage start? Would it be a sin if a psychic did wedding tricks? If the TV producer wants extras, who can say no? Prime time TV can do stop frame animation etc. A fake thumb's not needed.

[Passion013085]

His face gets awfully close to the compass. He's wearing glasses this time.

[smartz100]

Hidden in his fake thumb righthand. He holds the thumb where it wont move the pointer first time. Then moves it to side.

[tigerdraft]

I believe that Geller is magic and he can do anyfing cos he is magic and he can bend spoons and i also belive in unicorns and faries la la la la....

[tooby98765]

Funny how he's wearing glasses and has to put his head incredibly close to the compass to make it move....

Really, it only takes a *tiny* magnet to move a compass - try it for yourself why don't you?

[khlymore]

i was in israel when this show and i saw it my self well i know people that says he went to my contry over 10 years ago and he make the damaged watches to walk my uncle says a 5 years damaged watch WALKED how he did that?¿

[tooby98765]

Most old watches will work for a few minutes if you shake them a bit and warm them up with your hands. THis is why Uri specifically asks for watches and not something else - he knows it works 7 times out of 10.

He's also a master of saying things like "we'll try that one again later, first let's try this one..." when it fails (of course he never returns to the failed ones because by then he's busy doing something else).

[khlymore]

hahah lmao ok listen my old boss from my old job well known in the country he say he had at home a 10 years watch damaged and uri went to tv in dominican republic he say on tv he will make all the damaged watches trough the tv to walk and he told me that watch walked and had missing a important part with out that part the watch dont walk so how in the hell that happend he say it on tv and the watch walked in the hosue of somebody uri never touch it

[khlymore]

and with my uncle as well uri say on tv to the people at home find a old watch he will make it walk he say so how he did that fucking shit

[tooby98765]

So you accept that he cheats for some things but not others (eg. magnets to move a compass)? Strange attitude...

Instead of arguing, why don't you get some old watches and try this trick without having Uri on TV at the same time? Maybe you'll find out the truth...

[khlymore]

i dont arguing i ask you, because i am just like you REALISTIC not a supidistic.. lol and since i am a child i am wondering about this man from were is he from and now i am living were he born so then i see this show while i was there but did you hear about some japanese cientifics wich was confirmed they move objects with the power of mind?? in the news was that my father told me, japanese cientifics move objects with the power of mind if i am mistaken what do you know about that???

[mallenwiseramos]

sweet call, toob. you da man.

[tooby98765]

Some people may see Uri using "psychic powers" to move a compass but I only see somebody moving a magnet near a compass.

When you look at it like that the solution is very easy...just ask "where does he hide the magnet"?

[ozzyscruggs1]

The compass' north or south pole will point to the

hidden magnet.

[slyster12]

Whell,it's his glasses.

The only time pointer moves is when he lowers his face ;)

Great showmen is that uri :D
