I’ve always taken pride in having an open mind …
So, when the invitation came to visit Uri Geller at his estate in the English countryside back in the summer of 1987, I couldn’t pass the opportunity to personally experience the phenomenon he represents and/or channels.
Uri Geller has made a career out of being controversial. His claims of possessing paranormal talents have not necessarily polarized opinions as much as the outrageous outlets by which he seemingly prefers to display them. For example, Geller has, at one time or another, alleged to have:
– bent spoons and keys merely by concentrating on them,
– made a soccer ball move just before a Scottish penalty kick was taken during an international match against England, causing the shot to be missed and victory assured for the English,
– stopped the hands of time on Big Ben,
– advised families that messages from the dead would appear to them in symbolic acts,
– sent disorienting mental signals to KGB agents at the request of the CIA, and
– healed people’s afflictions merely by being close to them.
