fred_mc Posted July 24, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2021 "I can't tell you what I saw there. But use your imagination. What could they have been refrigerating?" Hmmm, then I imagine that it was a hot day and that there was ice cream in the refrigerator :-) . 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonman Posted July 24, 2021 #11 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Like they are going to show that fraud anything important or classified, or even have him around for that matter - cool story bro, keep desperately trying to stay relevant in a world where nobody knows who you are anymore. It's cute how he says he can't reveal what was in the fridge, but can talk all about crashed UFO materials and whatnot. So legit.

papageorge1 Posted July 24, 2021 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Rlyeh said: He could sell you the Brooklyn bridge. And he can perform telekenisis in front of sophisticated observers and you wouldn't believe. Edgar Mitchell was a believer in Uri's abilities. From the article: "He said he heard about my powers and told me that if he took his wedding ring off his finger and put it in the palm of his hand and I'd be able to bend it while it's there, he'd believe me," Geller told The Jerusalem Post. "And I did - completely." I know you can call it a lie BUT: Would you buy in if that happened to you?

The second time I was stunned, completely, completely stunned and amazed. It just bent in my hand. I've never seen anything like it. It takes a lot to impress me. Uri Geller is for real and anyone who doesn't recognise that is either deluding himself, or is a very sad person." David Blain, (American Magician.

It takes more than one individual's experience before I am impressed strongly. I would have my skeptical questions about that bridge deal too.

My leading theory is that Randi knew Geller had real mysterious abilities and that is why he hated him so much and avoided a showdown. 18 minutes ago, Rlyeh said: So why are you parroting anecdotes?

When in reality Randi knew Geller was an illusionist and employed ways to counter his tricks, but hey what ever keeps your confirmation bias alive. 1 hour ago, papageorge1 said: Because considering a body of anecdotes from all sides is one way to advance our understanding of reality.

Tatetopa Posted July 24, 2021 #24 Share Posted July 24, 2021 He was probably brought in for back up. If modern weapons failed, he could bend a spoon around their arms and restrain them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If modern weapons failed, he could bend a spoon around their arms and restrain them. I saw a documentary about someone who really could do that! I think his name was... Ludvik? Derek? Eric! Eric Someone. And his stage name was "Eric the Last Spoonbender". Or something snappier like Metalo, AlloyMan or The Great Bender. Is Geller an illusionist, an entertainer, or an unscrupulous, shameless fraud? We can rule out the second option: pretending to bend spoons doesn't entertain me. So which of the other two? To be honest it doesn't affect me, so I'll keep to myself my opinions of this unscrupulous, shameless fraud. Suffice it to say he does not have special abilities like telekinesis, telepathy, telemetalbenderitis or any other relevant super power. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
