yuri geller DID bend spoons, officially documented by repeated amounts of people in the thousands (and michael jackson but he doesnt count [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) so telekinesis does exist, and there is an untapped portion of the brain said to be connected with psychic abilities, the premise is that in thousands of years of evolution humans will all have some kind of visible psychic ability whether telepathy or telekinesis or both, i can believe that personally. Atm people like yuri geller are the exception.

Does David Copperfield really cut a woman in half despite having 1000s of witnesses?

Geller was a fraud, he was no better than any other stage magician. Man you gotta get into the real world and give up the wishful thinking.

You ever wonder why you haven't seen Uri Geller lately? He was sued for fraud at least once in the last 10 years..and last I heard he was starting a religion.....:::theres one born every minute:::

Edit: Since you are so enamoured of the guy here is hislatest money making scam...errr way of helping lighten your load of cash...

Thanks for the Links Ms. Melusine [img]smile.gif[/img]

I love this lil quote by Uri:

"Scientists want full proof under laboratory conditions. And the answer is very simple: when I'm put under pressure, I can't perform. Even the phenomenon I'm most known for. When I'm on stage, I'm not under pressure and it happens. In other important places, it happens. But in a laboratory where I really want it to happen, it's very hard for me."


This sounds exactly like every magic power weilding flim flam artist that ever lived. Oh I can't perform for scientists because of the pressure it puts me under... It doesnt matter thathe is given all the time he needs to relax and enjoy...or meditate or what not...he just has an excuse to never be able to perform with trained observers watching. Sheeeesh.

Grunji and Steve, Im sorry. I have been raining on your parade for this whole thread. I just hate to see people get taken by con men. Im not ridiculing you or your personal beliefs so much as venting my anger toward those who seek to defraud good people.

I know this is of topic,but it has something to to do with Pyschic powers and frauds. His name is John Edwards. Frauding with being able to talk with the dead would be easy. And who would care about being able to talk with dead relatives? What's done is done. And if he really did have the power to commune with the dead he could do something useful with it without selling out, and owning his own T.V show.(which is REALLY boring). Telekinesis is IMPOSSIBLE. Think about it.
Moving something with the raw power of your brain?? Thats a laugh.
I think Steve fox didn't want this sort of discussion.
