Uri Geller Fron Page Story in Wall Street Journal. He still knows how to create front page news.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424......982.html Like it or not he is probably the most famous mentalist of all time. Tough to imagine anyone topping him. Something to strive for. Dick

Thanks Dick. You wouldn't happen to know if this story only made the web version of the WSJ or if it appeared in the print version also?

Steve;
Though I did not see the print version here is the info I got from THE most reliable source... "yes the story was on the front page in the paper itself with the WSJ famous portrait drawing followed by the full story inside the paper with a huge picture." Dick Brooks & Dorothy Dietrich

Something to strive for? Really? You gotta be kidding me. To be embarassed on the most popular late night show of all time? To be humiliated and called out on national TV? Yea something to strive for.

Geller's failure to perform on Carson was in 1973 so he's probably over it by now, especially as he wasn't "called out" in any way at the time.

Do you feel he was called out on his failure at the time? To the best of my knowledge Carson's audience were not informed that special measures had been taken to prevent Geller cheating, nor invited to draw the conclusion that his failure meant anything in particular. An embarrassment for him certainly, but not an exposure from the public's point of view.
