@GlobalDating I did the first two. All I found was Uri claiming that it was said. He can claim anything. Nothing from other sources. So these quotes are worthless.

Summary - This shows that Randi is right.

If you believe Uri can bend a spoon with his mind, show a clip. That would be your actual "evidence."

Then, we'll tear it apart with the obvious. David Blaine and David Copperfield both like to keep the idea of magic alive. It is their business. But if you were behind closed doors, and asked them about Uri, they would simply laugh, like the 100 million other magicians, who all know his "secrets."

Wow, so a handful of magicians make an appeal to ignorance on the matter of Uri Geller? Who gives a shit?

But a security officer guarding New Yorker Blaine during the stunt said: “We’ve been told to treat Uri like any member of the public.

“He tells people he’s David’s mate. But Blaine’s complained he is a ‘hanger-on’ and wants nothing to do with him.”

David Blaine: I think everything I do is normal, not paranormal but normal. It's using the power of the mind to achieve whatever we can endure.

Dear Steve:

...no, I did not believe at the time that I witnessed something of a psychic nature. I believed I witnessed something quite wonderful - something that I could not explain - but not psychic. Just becaue I cannot explain something does not automatically place it in the realm of the paranormal because the operator says so.

I do like Uri, however, but not because of a belief that he has psychic ability.

Hope this helps. Also, no need to keep this response confidential.

If Mr.Randi is wrong, why is he still holding on to that million dollar challenge? It's been over 20 years now. Why can't anyone actually prove their stupid power?

[betlamed]

LOL. That's the best you have got? "The generalisation was wrong"? Duh. Of course it was. Doesn't mean that Uri Geller is anything but a fraud.

[Bowlesy13]

If anything, this just makes these other "professionals" look like tools.

Case closed...

como os americanos são burros em acreditar em tudo

[MrTapoche]

you,re an idiot!

Randi proved Geller a fake on Johnny Carson. Don't you recall?
