URI GELLER | Seeing is Believing | Documentary Reports | 1974 

URI geller, the only magician who threatens to sue you if you suggest his tricks are not genuine magic powers

Bending with his mind? These utensils are being handled so much by Geller they started the #metoo movement.

Like to see him put it back together again.

2:16 The guy stated exactly how Uri performs this trick. He bent the fork head in advance, enough to weaken but not break it.

He still is a good magician. He brought his own gimmick spoons and utensils.

All the amazing things a person could do if they had telekenitic power, And all this guy does is bend spoons?

I think part of the spoon (or perhaps the whole spoon) is made of Gallium. This is a metal that melts at just above room temperature.

then everything changed when the fire nation attacked..

What I don't understand is he's supposed to be telekinetic, but it keeps touching it

It's actually much simpler than that. When nobody's looking, he quickly bends the objects with his bare hands. In magician's circles it's known as distraction and it's an important part of every magic act. You don't need any fancy metals for that.

Uri Geller was very very very popular in the Netherlands in 2011/2012. Millions of people watched his show every week.

One of the best charlatan of all time

Its entertaining cant believe ppl actually hates the guy enough to expose him. Its like boycotting mcdonalds once you find out there burgers dont look like the ones being advertised.

One might hope that seeing is believing, however those not so naive realize that our minds as human beings are susceptible to optical illusions.

Fond memories of this. In my teenage years I can remember being amazed at this and trying to bend spoons/forks like this after seeing him on TV ( with NO success of course!) Many of us were so gullible lol. Now we see the evidence that he was nothing more than a "magician", exposed by the wonderful James Randi, Johnny Carson and even on Noel's House Party in the UK where hidden cameras secretly filmed him at a set up dinner-he clearly, sneakily used two hands to bend a fork!!!! I also saw him a few years ago at our science festival-but he didn't bend a spoon. Instead, he asked us all to bring watches which had stopped working and he would attempt to get them working! What a pointless exercise-after about 200 were put on stage in front of him he used his amazing powers on them. Again-complete failure. He seemed more intent in telling us that during the interval that he had been talking with his friend, Michael (Jackson)! FFS!! I think he just loved the idea of fame and celebrity! Clearly a pretentious fake making a lucrative career as a con man. And, as Geller claims that his powers were given to him by an angel from another planet, I would simply ask why did this angel give him the useless power to bend cutlery lol!

The spoons he used to bend were made of gallium (atomic number, 31). So, some of the tricks he used to perform, anyone can perform them (with gallium-made spoons). If people in the public just happened to take with them some spoons made of stainless steel or silver to the theater, he would not have been able to fool the public. You can read the article "Gallium" in the Wikipedia in English; especially, the second paragraph. 20220821 (Sunday).

One of the greatest con artists of our time. How they let him on television in the first place for bending spoons was actually, a miracle. I suppose people were more gullible back then.

Fraud

A genuine bender.

This guy should join the Avengers

There's a difference between being a stage magician and a pathological liar.

These are generally prepared tricks because the teaspoons are soften in advanced and then with a slight rubbing of the fingers they bend. He is a B.S artist.

Very interesting!

There is no spoon

I always asked believers - Why hasn't Uri done anything worthwhile with his powers ... = perplexed facial expressions.

The magic of Gallium! (It's a metal on the period table, learn your chemistry, bitches.)

In reality, a magician does not have to admit anything to their audience, let their audience think their own thoughts.

"touch it, touch it very gently"

I'm only here cuz I always heard the Incubus lyrics about Gellar bending silver spoons for years but never knew who he was. Gellar to me is Ross from Friends.

uri's genius was that people are so stupid.

I seem to remember this brought down the GLC( it wasn’t thatcher) as all the school dinner halls were experiencing phenomenally high casualty rates on the cutlery.

Total bolloks

so no one else tried rubbing a fork to see if that's what did it? still, he's fun to watch

Brilliant ability. Rubs the prongs and it snaps at the neck by the rivet. Spooky.

“Uri Geller, the guy who bends the spoons” *flies off into the sky*

The magic of Gallium.

"Please go, please!" - Uri Geller.

uri geller is the reason i can cry blood, i hate him!

Changed his name to Uri, from Benjamin Dover They called him Bend .

the only thing Uri has ever bent is the truth!

can't believe this guy sue Pokemon..he's such a karen.

I was a kid in the seventies and I was totally fooled by this unethical guy (like the rest of the world). I think he has some explaining to do.

This trick is so dumb and so simple, yet some people back then believed it was "real magic", haha!😂

thi sguy lived just 5 miles from me, & do you know what i havent had a single relyable working tin opener in 2 years from the pound shop, i'm not even joking, just got 1 though for £5 & it works good enough so far, but we will see

I drove uri to Wembley studios then dropped him at a restaurant. Picked him up from the restaurant and on the way back I asked how does he bend the spoon? He pulled a spoon he stole from the restaurant and started doing his trick!! I had to stop to see what is going on, he bent the spoon but I wasn't convinced! He is not a nice person because he was prepared and knew I will ask him and stole a spoon!!!

Gallium is one heck of a metal

Isn't that what all magicians and illusionists do?... If you're gonna hate, hate em all.

The most talented man in the world is the video editor

Did anyone notice how much pressure he was putting on the fork tip? His finger even slips off because of the amount of pressure he was applying at :38.

Amir Chanan brought me here. :-)) Unclog your chakras ! X-DD

"I’ll no longer say that I have supernatural powers. I am an entertainer. I want to do a good show. My entire character has changed."

It's called "metal fatigue", and/or "metal melting point" as in some cases the metal pieces or portions/joints may have been made from a Gallium alloy which starts melting at temperatures above 30 degrees celsius... You can clearly see the stress/joint line on 0:34 (pre) and 1.33 (after manipulation). That's why he knows it will "fracture".

Anyone on here that still thinks this is real, google his confession in which he states he's a fraud. It's so obvious from videos like this that he's fake, can't believe people actually needed him to come out and say it.

Funny how it breaks right at the joint

Uri is a truly sad man who has spent a lifetime conning people for money. His outlandish claims a children's game purposefully degraded him and the lawsuit against them claiming outrageous claims shows the very awful man he is. Defaming a childrens gain for attention is quite pathetic and speaks to his lifetime of being worthless.

They were sceptical. He would simply bend them in advance. He made millions but he wasn't a great magician they were simple tricks.

He has been debunked so many times, he prebend his metal forks and spoons off camera to the point where the metal was so weak it would almost snap. owww fascinating magic

Why’d Uri ban my dude Kadabra 😔

Telekinetic power only applies to spoons.

Better than watching Geller, bending silver spoons.

A gallium based solder on any pre broken metal object will melt from the heat of your fingers. Cheap magicians trick.

Sunday on Coast To Coast AM. Geller will be a guest...Be sure to tune in to hear him tell more lies

Damn him sewing Pokemon, what did he sew them and what materials did he use?

A shape-memory alloy is an alloy that can be deformed when cold but returns to its pre-deformed ("remembered") shape when heated. It may also be called memory metal, memory alloy, smart metal, smart alloy, or muscle wire.

Todavía viveeeee

"But now the interesting thing is to check this with metalurgics and check THIS with metalurgics" Oh fuck off.

uri feels for spoons, each to his own

This is the man that got Kadabra banned from Pokémon for over 20 years! Glad he finally retracted his complaint ❤

You should not bend the spoon, just see reallity. There is no spoon!

Nice trick 😀

He rubs the spoon on several places but it breaks at the same spot where the other one broke when force was applied.

Spoons and forks yes. have you ever seen Uri bend a table knife?

Did you know this guy sued Pokemon because of Kadabra and Alakazam?

Amir Chanan sent me here.

Wow

"It's becoming plastic...and there's no heat, there's no heat."

Hes the truth

Any fool can see that this is complete and utter rubbish!

See on RU-vid video: "Uri Geller Bends My Spoon! Live on Coast to Coast--UNBELIEVABLE"

Great job uri

...i just want to say , this is what i think, that all he is doing is kinesis. its simple to do. its only focus and energy. so i guess you can say its real but its about as easy to do this as it is doing a backflip. hard at first but quickly learned.

the human form of alakazam

The object has to be something I feel for? What, the one's he brought in? He's a creep.

you can see the gallium where it breaks, melts around 37 °C

He's not fake, I had the great opportunity of seeing him backstage a few years back, we took our own spoons for him to bend and he did it right in front of our eyes, sorry most of you are butthurt.

At 1:18, you can clearly something that looks like fire

He's been proven a fraud many times already.

I did this tricks as a kid not even know who this guy was . No magic to it

Did anyone see the Fry and Laurie sketch on this subject. It is hilarious.

He has to touch the objects, so he's clearly doing it with his hands, not his mind. I can move spoons without touching them :-)

He forgot to say: "Ala peanut butter sandwiches".

This how gullible we still are

there is no spoon

Ahh The magic of cheep silverware, Astonishing the masses. Lol

He bends it with his mind.....but everything he ever bent he had to touch with his hands. Hmmmmm.

YOD brought me here

Yuri Gallium

*Johnny Carson and James Randy tried to debunk Geller in Carson's show by providing their own utensils. Geller couldn't do it. However, this attempt to ridicule Geller backfired for Johnny and Randy. In fact, this attempt to debunk Geller in Carson's show made Geller a star. Why? Because if he were performing magic tricks, then those magic tricks would surely work every time.*

Ik can not believe that there are stil people whoe buy this. What a fraude!

he clams kadabra was him! the spoon, and the lighting bolt on his head...
