Fake psychic powers and debunk Uri Gellar

I have never before showcased a tutorial from television. Until now. This one has a personal resonance for me.

It is Sunday. So, sit back and learn a little something today.

The life long and methodical debunking tutorials from the Amazing Randi have earned him a reputation as provocateur.

I love magic. I love mentalism. And years ago, I paid Uri Geller to see if he could truly read minds. We sat in two rooms at the New York Plaza Hotel. I was as careful as Johnny Carson was about preventing any possible cheats. Uri never broke "character". He relentlessly claimed to have special powers. He did not impress.

In this video, James (The Amazing) Randi speaks on spoon/key bending and hidden picture reproduction. He reveals the possible tricks pulled by Uri Geller to show he had psychic powers.

Welcome to the controversial world of magic, mentalism, and professional debunkers.
