I would like to know what Jim Callahan's opinion about Uri is?
Is it al magic that he does, or is he the real thing? I was very surprised that Richard Osterlind stated and demonstrated on one of his video's that he could turnover a key pure by the power of his mind. He was very serious about it and said it was not a trick. What is your reaction to this? |

Uri made a cross for his own back(no Jewish pun intended)with his "Im real" spiel.He was always going to be caught out.
I don't reall Richard Osterlind claiming any real powers,I think we need proof. |

Harry is that the reason so many will steal from him and not send a thank you?
C'mon man if not for Uri you would have no Banachek. At least thank Uri for the guy who ripped of his act and sold it to you. J ack H.O.A-X

Hmmm, hold on a mo there J ack. I think you should redress the bit about the guy who 'ripped off' his act there. Banachek does not bend spoons with his mind, he uses other techniques. Uri states that he does not use trickery so if another guy comes up with a method that does then he is not ripping him off really is he? Here is a wacky suggestion for Uri. Why doesn't he release a DVD of his metal bending techniques and we can buy it from him as a thank you.
I think that we should now thank the descendants of the fox sisters and give praise to the mediums from the turn of the century whose acts have also been ripped off and sold on. Yes? I have no problem at all with Uri Geller and I sent a note of thanks for inspiring me as a youngster to get excited about the possibility of mind magic. |

He states that at that moment, he’s so into it that in his mind it’s real. He’s referring to his state of mind during the performance. I’m not going to give away the haunted key method, and I’ll admit Mr. Osterlind could have been more clear in his explanation of that effect, but he did NOT claim he was using real psychic powers.

I've been quiet and watching this thread. I can agree that it's considerate to acknowledge sources for our inspiration and let them know how they may have affected us. To stop at Geller is non-sensical. Perhaps some might like to take a week or two and call/email some of the other greats who have inspired us and helped us along the way. I personally make this a habit, as I feel it is the right thing to do. Many people on this forum have received such calls/mails and PM's from me personally.
With that said, I can't help but wonder what Geller will think/is thinking about all the sudden emails from magicians and mentalists, and what spawned them. Part of me wonders if this will not be to his liking; others pieces think maybe he will enjoy it, with us knowing what he does and stepping through the door to thank him anyhow. Thanks for the reminder, Jim. A bit of thanks is certainly in order. At the same time, I AM the one who is accountable for whatever success I enjoy, not Geller and not anyone else. Best, Jerome.

Every time there's a question that is a bit hard for you, you just choose to avoid it with answers that have nothing to do with was asked. This is a technic of a little child who doesn't have anything real to say. I was hoping this time it would be different, that's why I'm a bit disappointed right now. BTW, I hardly believe your love for Geller is so blind that you can't see that he's not the angel you make him be. You know that he's "ripped off" from other mentalists, like you claim they have from him. Maybe what we see here from you is just hypocrisy, no more than that. |

I'd also say many of us should also thank (who are still alive):
Stan Lee Richard Matheson Nigel Kneale Maybe even J K Rowling for helping assist the public's interest in magic and mentalism And I am not sure if this person is still alive or not... Hanna Barbera Think about it.
