Uri Geller is an Israeli-British illusionist and entertainer known for televised spoon-bending demonstrations and claims of psychic abilities.
The full storyUri Geller: everything we have, with news, official files and videosUri Geller was born in Tel Aviv on December 20, 1946, during the British Mandate for Palestine. An Israeli-British illusionist, magician, and television personality, he became known for televised demonstrations in which he bent spoons and other metal objects, presenting them as evidence of psychic abilities.
Geller has claimed to possess abilities such as telekinesis and telepathy. Skeptics and magicians have argued that stage magic can reproduce his demonstrations. A 2017 report on declassified CIA documents described tests in which, according to the report, Geller convinced the agency that he had such abilities. That is not scientific proof of his claims.
According to a UPI report, Geller lives in England and later preferred to describe himself as “mysterious” and as an entertainer. Investigations of his claims included tests and discussion of whether a phenomenon called the “Uri Geller effect” exists.
