It is fairly well documented that Yuri Geller may have used trickery during some of his 'exhibitions'. Geller had even admitted early in his career that his manager had organised number plate details along with descriptions of the car driver before they entered a show and had provided Geller with the lists of plates. The sensitive and possibly naive entertainer has also been observed with something on his thumb during a compass moving performance and often failed to bring any "magic" on other occasions.
Geller has also denied the story about receiving his powers from computer-like droids on a planet called "Hoova" attributing this myth to his previous over zealous manager.
Some "experts" have actually made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry primarily as "Exposers of Geller" however to date there have been few if any who have debunked the Geller phenomenon recorded by the well respected and credentialed Stanford Research Institute.

Poppycock. Of course Geller is a fraud. Its been demonstrated time and again. Anyone for a bent spoon? |

Dear Oskar I think the article above clearly acknowledges the dodgy bits about some of Geller's act. Perhaps like some staunch skeptics, when it comes to something unusual you immedietly struggle with reading, and reason, and can't even bother to quantify or rationalise in balanced way? (Like the madmen who once insisted that the world was flat) It is actually quite possible that his 'powers' are unreliable and that he resorted to trickery when it failed to keep his bank balance churning. He certainly appears to enjoy the 'good life'. I think the article above is fairly balanced; to me the point that it raises is the Stanford Institute report. Could it be that Mr Geller can actually see pictures through double envelopes (or read the mind of the person who drew them) or was a fraud committed by the scientists? I think that is the question here. |
