The Strange Case of Uri Geller
Early in the 1970s he began to demonstrate his powers of telepathy
and psychokinesis to small audiences. By the end of 1971, however,
he was a household name throughout Israel thanks to his numerous
stage appearances. When asked what then-Prime Minister Golda Meir saw for the
future of Israel, she replied,
"Don't ask me - ask Uri Geller."
Right, Uri Geller brings
his fist down see how many of the stopped watches and clocks before
him can be re-started again by his psychic powers. London, 1994.
In 1972, Uri left Israel for Europe, where he immediately attracted
widespread attention. In Germany, witnessed by reporters and photographers,
he stopped a cable-car in mid-air using only the power of his
mind. He then did the same to an escalator in a major department
store.
