Wrong wrong way ridiculously wrong, I too while not a professinal am a magicial, and there are many ways for geller to do his tricks in fact if you go to ebay they sell the "geller" spoon bending illusion how do you explain it sold as a trick with his name on it? While some c*** a snook to it like my buddy penn jillett there is a magicans code do not disclose how tricks are done, remember the masked magician? I myself was a bit miffed that as cheap as i am a 100.00 buck trick is exposed all over the net. 6 hours ago, papageorge1 said: Multiple times I've quoted top scientists and top magicians in support of Uri's abilities.

Won't be happening as they don't exist. All you'll get is a lame excuse, or some more BS quotes from magicians. Seriously, quotes from goddamned magicians as "evidence"?

At this point i have to question if i did a lil magic show for papa would he go away proclaiming i have special paranormal powers? I really hate to give up the gimmick but its all over the net anyway, modern science is wonderful, I cant take out a handful of keys and let the person pick a key, i will go into a patter about how i "connect with" in a paranormal way that person we can combine our magical powers because i will bend the key not in my hand geller old school style but modern bats style in there hand, hold the key lets make this happen, yes, its bending , do you feel it? a little more considerate, feel it, and most people in shock and dismay open their hand and some drop the key in fear, and the key is very well bent, they felt it bend they can try to bend it back and no go. No paranormal needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results substantiated and proved my conviction and belief in his powers of metal bending. I have written extensively about his psychokinetic powers in my book Our Sixth Sense 1982 “ Prof. Dr. Hans Bender (Freiburg University – Germany) ” I tested Uri myself under laboratory-controlled conditions and saw with my own eyes the bending of a key which was not touched by Geller at any time. There was a group of people present during the experiment who all witnessed the key bending in eleven seconds to an angle of thirty degrees. Afterwards we tested the key in a scientific laboratory using devices such as electron microscopes and X-rays and found that there was no chemical, manual or mechanical forces involved in the bending of the key.” Professor Helmut Hoffmann (Department of Electrical Engineering, Technical University of Vienna, Austria) Scientific Papers Edited March 30, 2021 by papageorge1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um no, Geller failed in a epic humiliating way under conditions out of his control, like on Carson he can only "perform"his tricks under his conditions. Sure, spoon bending is a popular magic trick my question was if done with paranormal abilities why in the world would geller want his name endorsing magic tricks, is it for profit? A guy who sued randi and lost that his powers were real is resorted to endorsing magic tricks that normally are on the back of a corn flake box, very sad how the mighty have fallen. Jillett and randi ( wonderful guys ) accept and promote magic as illusion for entertainment not charlatans making false claims of paranormal abilities to fleece people. I asked not for links to gellars biased website i asked for links to published peer reviewed accredited scientific papers by scientists someone has heard of. Papa failed.
