It was'nt really a documentary though was it?
A lot of it felt that Uri was being gently mocked.
They kept asking him about secret things he might have been involved in knowing he was going to say ''I hope you understand but that is
not something I can talk about''
The BBC can do irony very well.
This becomes especially apparent if you listen to the background music. I won't spoil the surprises, but watch again and listen to the various accompanying themes.

I'm glad that after all these years people are beginning to see the truth in what has and is going on. It reveals who the real opportunists were all along. Just look how many DVD's PDF's and ebooks on metal bending the copy cats have sold? All on Uri's coat tails.......

Not really...Uri is PARANORMAL, and therefore doesn't use tricks...

ergo - all these dvds, pdfs and ebooks on metal bending are copy catting anything...

I'm sure there's people who play rock, paper, scissors or ROSHAMBO by PARANORMAL means, its just that others choice other ways to do it...

There are millions of people who play rock paper scissors, but my ROSHAMBO is a bit different. But why would you bring one of my favorite effects into a thread about Uri?

Slim - it was an example...

I could have used Marc Paul's effect instead...but as I was talking directly to you, it made sense...

sorry if that upset you...it was just a way to illustrate the difference...

your accusatory tone of people riding Uri's coat-tails isn't true, as Uri is real/paranormal, and the others are teaching things to emulate a certain talent...

it would be like Uri being accused of riding Dunninger's coat-tails cos he would bend a metal rod on the radio...

Well, if your claim is true, then the whole of mentalism has been riding the coat-tails of something or other since it first started...

something supposedly "paranormal" is done by someone...but magicians emulate it in a certain way...

so its been coat-tail riding all the way, you included, me included...everyone...

coat-tail riding has a negative feeling associated it, like its easy or lazy - that's not the case is it dave...i'm sure you've worked very hard on emulating certain others (in fact, some of your threads recently are talking about precisely that) soooooo...you're a coat-tail rider!

I'm great at being inspired by truly paranormal and unexplained phenomena. However I don't try to be as Al Mann called randi ... "A Party Pooper!"

Of course you can say I'm biased because I was flown out to Los Angeles, met dozens of top notch mentalists, had a great vacation , and performed for the best NBC biz executives in California.... All on Uri's dime!

That's nothing to do with you telling others that they are "coat-tail riders"...

unless you are saying you're allowed to do it, and its "inspiration", but if others do it, its something negative?

Yes ... I do it in a positive way and they do it in a negative way ... That's the problem. Their short sightedness has hurt the art of mentalism!!!!!

So hang on, you're talking about two seperate things aren't you...

a) exposers
b) people who have released work on metal bending

then you mix in this "coat-tail riding" accusation...so its a pretty mixed message you're sending out Slim...

would be useful if you could clarify things...

I am the True Skeptic ... I am even skeptical of the so called skeptics, which are really Pseudo-Skeptics according to Truzzi.

THANKS!!! I'm glad that you've noticed I've taken a stand with the Founding Fathers of Mentalism ... I'm skeptical of the skeptics ... Get it? I think these Pseudo-Skeptics are frauds.

Maybe this is the reason for Uri's documentary?
