Holly,
I don't consider Geller anywhere as inept as Criss. True, he may be rushed more these days . . . I do see what you are saying. In my eyes, Geller captivated entire nations doing what he did, Criss attempts to captivate the Nation doing by what he cannot do, if that makes sense. I didn't hear of Blaine blowing him off, but I don't really follow these things. Gabe, Amen. The bad will ultimately outweigh the good, especially when it comes to exposure. The only thing I can do personally is to become even better than what is being exposed. Let the games begin! -J.

Instead of being an idiot for not editing it out, he’s an idiot for doing it live because he knows he’s always getting caught cheating -- haha. Seriously, sorry about the misinformation. Yes, I’m sure the American show will be prerecorded. Even if Geller refuses to learn from his mistakes, I’m sure a Hollywood moneygrubber will. Holly

Whatever else Uri Geller may or may not be, he is NOT an idiot.

The problem with Geller is that he thinks the people in the audience and at home are idiots, and they won't see any of those obvious moves.. That's part of his ego issues.
In my opinion that's not how a professional mentalist should think like. |

I never thought I'd be in the un-enviable position of defending Uri Geller, but...
Geller has taken a handful of effects and projected himself to world-wide notoriety. Whatever magicians and mentalists think of his technique, his ethics or his motivations, to label him as an idiot is a mistake. He has become rich and arguably famous starting almost from scratch. To equate his career with that of Paris Hilton is fatuous and foolish. I think Geller is a scoundrel, a fraud and a dishonest person, but I've also seen him at the top of his game, controlling a roomful of reporters and performing seeming miracles. I knew it was illusion, but it was beautifully done, and the press were eating out of his hand. Sustained success, in Geller's case, proves he's not an idiot. If any fool could do what Geller has done, why have so few managed to reach the level of success that he has? While I very much disagree with the way he presents himself as a performer, I think it's foolish of you to let your philosophical stance cloud your perspective on his proven talents. Holly, you are quick to point fingers and call names. Could you tell us where you are next performing so that we might check out how it's properly done? Perhaps fill us in on your professional performing background, television appearances, published papers or routines you've created, etc? - entity

Do we need a "circus of mentalism stars" or a competition of amateurs, some of whom may claim genuine psychic ability, and then have Randi go after them too? What a nightmare! Jim/Jack - Have you thanked Uri for this too? If you want to know what this is all about, look for the money. |

I'm glad to see that you still reply about posts that were directed to Jim. It's much better to be an online stalker, rather than one in real life.. Unless you combine both?

For what it's worth, I think Paris Hilton is the future of mentalism.
