Although we are well aware that Uri has close associates in the magic community, Geller does not claim to be a magician. Check out his Wikipedia page for some rough details on where he claims his "powers" come from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Geller Quote:

Uri's Wikipedia article mentions the award: In November 2008, Geller accepted an award during a convention of magicians, the Services to Promotion of Magic Award from the Berglas Foundation. In his acceptance speech, Geller said that if he hadn't had psychic powers then he "must be the greatest" to have been able to fool journalists, scientists and Berglas himself. Quote:

Uri's actual qutes from his discussion at the ceremony when he received it London was ::
I thrieve on contreversy, looking back on my career, I called myself a phsyic, I constantly need to re-invent myself, you will not get a straight answer. I have to protect the performers in my show, I owe it to them, I don't want to know how they do it, I just want to see the most mind blowing show there is. Lets say I wasn’t real, lets say for the last years I’ve fooled the journalists, the scientists, my family, my friends.. You.. If I managed to fool them, I must be the greatest..? I have seen things in my life that I cannot understand or explain, I cannot bend spoons like some of the magicians, you, can, it blows my mind when I see that, I have no idea. I had the idea and cheekiness to call it physic, in fact all I wanted was to be rich and famous, I wanted to buy my mother a TV. I don't think I am gifted, I think all of your are gifted, you must have encountered things that you couldn't understand, I never made money form bending spoons, I made money from finding oil and gold, I don't know how I did that, maybe it was luck. It’s an honor to get this award, it comes from a legend, David Berglas, it will be controversial, some of you will write on your blogs or whatever.. its lovely to sit in front of you all.   |

So much for assurances.
Thanks Dodd! That quote pretty much answers my question about what he thinks of the misinformed nobodies on the Internet who talk trash about him. |

What's your favorite dl? How many phases of an ambitious card routine should you perform before its too much? What is your favorite deck of cards, the Guardians from theory 11 or the Arcane deck from E? I'm thinking of adding a color change vest to my show. I understand you do a color changing vest as a closer in your kid show. What brand of ccv do you recommend?

Chris sure is fun. I am thankful on this day of thanks that I don't wake up like that guy every morning. May I have another 50 years of not waking up like that.
Could you ask Uri if he believes in other Psychics? If he does who they are? I would find his answer most interesting and insightful. |

Quote: To take his desire to "not wake up and be you" as an insult requires you to make inference from his written word...something you are proving as inept at as you are at assuring. Or do you assume everyone must want to wake up and be you one day? (and that's a question)

Funny. The language you used suggests it was a question. May I recommend you consider the way in which you word your posts more carefully in future? |
