Hello,

do you know Uri Geller and what do think about him? Do you believe in his "supernatural" abilities or do you think his's just a good show talent who's able to delude other people?

In my case I can't believe in his abilities. I tried something what he had been showing in his tv-show, but nothing worked. Not even just a few... really nothing.
However I think he's a very good entertainer who knows how to impress other people with deception.

Greetings,
LeBron

He is basically an evil wizard. He uses clever magicians tricks, but instead of using it for entertainment like other show-business magicians (e.g. David Copperfield), he tries to fool people into thinking he has real powers and tricks them out of their money. Read more about him here.

That's it. As long as you remember he is supposed to be an entertainer, he is harmless. It's when people think he really has psi powers that there is a problem.

I agree with your statement that he tries to make us believe he has supernatural talents, with witch he wants to make a fool of us.

Just now Uri's TV show called "The next Uri Geller" is finished here.
There he searched new talents. One of them should become his successor.

I pursued the show and was even fascinated by some of the experiments by the "Mentalists".
But after the final I searched in the Internet and found that every experiment by all the "Mentalists" was exposed... so every experiment was only possible by using tricks and cheats Mad

Seriously I didn't expect that really every experiment was just a fake. All the celebraties and all the uncorrupted people, who should control that everything is going without deception, were accomplices as well.

It seems that this is SHOWBUSINESS... and nothing more Sad
