Uri Geller

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Did anyone see that programme the other night about him, stating he is a spy? Now maybe I need to come into this century but he stated he can wipe files and has done so on demand from computer just by using his mind.......... so the question is, am I losing it or was I the only one who laughed all the way through thinking this guy really is a nutter?

I was a complete sceptic, often describing him as a fake.

Having seen the tests done on him, I am now a believer, one test had odds of a trillion to one on him getting it right, and he did every time he gave an answer!

You cannot fake the results of several days of tests done under labratory conditions.

He has been caught out as a fake many times. James Randi has repeatedly asked him to perform his tricks in laboratory conditions but he has consistently refused because he knows it will expose his fakery.

It is possible to control a computer with thought waves, but the technology is at a very early stage. Dr Stephen Hawking has trialled a system that responds to positive and negative brain waves, but as yet, only through probes attached to the skull which pick up positive/negative electric brain waves which is the basis of a binary system. I don't believe Uri Geller is able to do it "wirelessly" though, because the sensors involved wouldn't be powerful enough or well-enough shielded from outside electrical activity.

I don't have to have met him to know he is a fake. Noel Edmunds even caught him out with hidden cameras on Noels House Party some years ago. He claimed he could make a compass move psychically. The hidden camera picked up that he had a tiny magnet attached to his thumb. Not very psychic.

It was a personal comment. However, I will not get drawn into an argument about it. I don't believe in what is fundamentally unproven. Furthermore, it HAS been proven, on more than one occasion that he is a fake. Take a look at James Randis book - The Truth About Uri Geller. (Thats the third piece of actual evidence I have cited on this thread).

Or what about Geller trying to sue Randi threetimes for exposing him as a fake and FAILING? (Thats the fourth piece of actual evidence I have cited on this thread).

I continue to assert that the man is a PROVEN fake - repeatedly. What others wish to believe in the face of such evidence and proof is entirely up to them.

Don't get me wrong I think Uri Gellar is a total farking carnt!

But he was recruited from Israel in the early 60's by the CIA as the Cold War was really kicking off to be part of a program that intended to use paranormal abilities to spy. He was part of team that was supposed to be able to 'remote view' i.e. the team were trained to use their minds to spy on foreign countries without actually leaving the room. Of course it was bullshit and these dudes just made shit up. But the program was real and for a short time the very young Gellar was working for the CIA before they shut it all down.

True story.

Eh? So you choose to live in a blinkered world of make believe, whilst pointing the finger of negativity quite happily, to support your "beliefs" as true and factual.

That doesn't make sense at all? You're saying that everyone else is wrong despite not doing any research or supporting what you're saying with evidence.

That's just a bit mad isn't it?

So, in that case, what first hand information do you have to prove that he is not a fake? I assume you have some since you dismiss 'second hand' information (which is actually provable evidence tried and tested) such as film of his cheating and television programmes he has shown to fail on. You have met him and witnessed his psychic ability at close quarters, I am assuming, since any other evidence would be, as you say, 'second hand' information this is the reason you have such faith in his psychic abilities.

Uri Geller is a brilliant and gifted con man. When actually challenged he hasn't been able to replicate his abilities. When he controls the environment including the filming of his "skills" then he's no better than Dynamo the Magician.

Problem is people who "believe" something will choose their "facts" to emphasise their belief while ignoring all the evidence that disproves it. Similar to homeopathy, anecdotal evidence is not actual evidence.

"Abilities?"

Science is about evidence and testing, doesn't need first hand jnteraction. I understand the concept of gravity and flight as taught to us by testable processes in science. The difference is that Uri is about belief. He's not testable and doesn't have scientific proof in any way shape or form that he can do any of his abilities.

Theres a huge difference between testing a theory scientifcally and having an opinion. We believed the world was flat until it was scientifically proven it wasnt. thats the difference between opinion and fact. Gravity is a fact, it's testable by walking out of your first floor window versus walking out your front door. H2o is water not because I believe it, but because it's made from two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen this is testable and isn't an opinion.

I was merely using your own argument regarding 'second hand' information, as you call it. You insist on everyone providing proof of him being a fake but do not hold your own arguments to that same yardstick.

I did say earlier that people can believe whatever they want. However, it has been repeatedly proven that the man has faked many of his so-called abilities. If someone wishes to ignore that factual evidence as it does not fit their beliefs then they are fully entitled to do so. But that is not a valid ciunter argument to evidence of his fakery. It is, as you say, merely a belief.

I, and many on here, simply disagree with that belief and we are as entitled to do so, as you are entitled to your belief.

You have no valid argument whatsoever. I have cited four pieces which you have conveniently ignored. I shall, therefore, be ignoring your lack of argument until you fulfil your OWN criteria which is - prove it.

In a rational argument one needs proof. You have none. Until you do so you have no argument. A poor arguer is one unwilling to provide evidence of their stance and who resorts to only attacking those in contention agsinst them because there is no substance to the argument they put forward.

Wanting something to be real doesn't make it so. People want to believe in psychics therefore they will grasp at tricks and illusions that will allow them to believe in them. The reality is that a million dollars has been on offer for

Decades to any psychic, faith healer or Medium to prove themselves and no one has. Take them into proper scientific processes and they immediately become exposed for the charlatans that they are.

Actually no. We look at scientific evidence in controlled conditions, we use blind trials, replication and process. His tricks can be replicated by magicians time and again, he can't do any of his skills under scientific processes and never has done. He makes claims he can not prove and never has been able to. Time and again he's been proved wrong. Evidence isn't belief evidence is providing proof. Can he bend a spoon? Yep but So can I. Can he

Read minds? No more than dynamo

Can and he knows he's not psychic. You keep mentioning the "proof" of his skills that my people (I'm assuming scientists) can't explain. The only evidence I've seen of that was the disproven research in the 1970's. he cannot replicate and NEVER has been able to in a scientific environment. I'm not cherry picking, he just can't do it.

Not knowing much about how spies work maybe he cannot talk about certain things if it were true, but in my opinion he should have just kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

Umm it's not your weight but the thinness of your argument that was mentioned. As in your argument carries no weight as it's a "single, thin argument"

I'm afraid you haven't cited any evidence at all.

James Randi has performed Uri Gellers tricks as have lots of other magicians. So what is seen as psychic powers are performed by others using magic and illusion along with diversion. I'm afraid people only believe he can do these things there is no actual evidence of any ability whatsoever.

He claims to be able to do. So it's a bit like saying the sugar plum fairies make my car go, however it's been shown that actually it's the internal combustion engine. Your argument is now based on yeah but you can't disprove the sugar plum fairies don't make my car move.

He can't replicate his abilities and the Stanford experiments from the 1970's have been debunked as very poor science.

Oh very convenient...and it suits YOUR argument as well, fancy that, debunked by who? And you STILL have not shown anything that disproved his claims have you?

"Ah get that now, ta!

Nobody has ANY evidence that is beyond doubt, either way, if you have, send me it, I would be interesting reading!

Evidence?

Actually I have because scientifically he CANNOT replicate his claims. So they've been disproved over and over and over again. The tricks have been performed by hundreds of magicians. He lost an actual court case against James Randi who showed in court that he couldn't sunstantiate his claims (after he'd tried to sue James Randi) he fails time and again to provide evidence for his claims which conveniently allows him to keep claiming the shit he claims. If his tricks can be performed by a half decent magician then how can they be "psychic"? If you want to believe him then crack on. He has NEVER been able prove any of his claims in a controlled experiment. NEVER. The Stanford experiments were shoddy at best. They've never been replicated since in any controlled situation. I can't explain how dynamo does his levitation illusion but he clearly can't fly. You can't explain it therefore he clearly can fly. Good luck with the unicorns and fairies by the way

Always so rude and personal, I simply don't trust evidence thrown at me, nor do I believe anyone without researching fully for myself, all I have said is that "Uri is an amazing man who can and has done amazing things"

Which part of that says anything about TRICKS?

You won't believe evidence on vid unless it disproves.

Hey, I don’t really care if some people choose to believe in the dubious abilities of a guy who’s Wiki page acknowledges his own claim to have received these so called supernatural powers as a gift from some extra terrestrials during their visit to planet earth….

Actually I'd say the same about you. Your posts are quite rude and personal and often completely selective. You didn't say he did tricks, I did. I said that his tricks have been replicated over and over again my magicians and illusionists. The "evidence" on video is from the Stanford experiments and have been discredited by a variety of people including James Randi who won a court case against him saying the same thing I'm saying.

As for eyes open, I do keep them open, I just look for rational explanations through scientific experimentation that can be replicated not just done once by one set of researchers. The very definition of academic fraud is when two experiments show different results especially when they're wildly different. He refuses to replicate the experiments and when challenged is unable to.

Yeah but if you haven't not seen these extra terrestrials then you can't not prove they don't exist

Ah but surely that presuming these extra terrestrials were big enough to be seen with the naked eye or were indeed visible at all…!!

Perhaps it time to call in that well known authority on such matters and ask David Icke for some clarity on this issue,,

You mean apart from the snouty capitals when you address me directly? Same question back? Point out the one time I was personal and rude about you.

Indeed that may well be true……

But I really think they both deserve yet anther opportunity to reinforce their message by explaining how they actually know things that would totally blow our tiny minds,,,

So for our own good they just can't tell us!

On the Internet writing words in capitals is shouting.

It was directed at anyone trying to prove a false negative. Prove something that doesn't exist in a way that people that believe they do exist will accept. I'd mentioned it earlier and you chose to ignore it started using shouting capitals

Cockteasincunt, if you used james Randi's techniques to replicate geller's performances yourself, would you think you suddenly had psychic powers??? If i performed them would you believe i had these powers too?

Your argument is using faulty logic.

People have given you enough evidence to doubt his claims but you are putting your fingers in your ears and going "la la la...". I hope you never go anywhere near religion....

You attached it to MY post, not anyone else's, I've already said my use of caps is not to shout, but you chose to ignore that!

Science may true, but their findings are only guidelines not FACT, and even then, they will become incorrect as OUR understanding increases, and don't get me started on Hawking!

And you've chosen to ignore pretty much everything. Using capitals on the Internet or in emails is universally recognised as shouting. I responded in kind to yours. As for the thing about faries it came from a previous post and was an added item to that post as I couldn't be arsed to cross reference. If you find this rude and personal I apologise. However using capitals is still shouting whether that's your intention or not.

In the previous post i suggested that my car was powered by the sugar plum faries and people were welcome to prove me wrong.

Your argument is very similar to my sugar plum fairy analogy. Everyone else can show their cars are powered by internal combustion, however because I claim that mine is powered by fairies they have to prove me wrong. What I won't do however is let them open the bonnet or let them test my car allowing me to carry on claiming my car is powered by the fairies. Some people may believe this in the face of all the evidence from other cars that work in a different way. This is how uri geller works, indeed it's how all magicians work.

Using capital letters for two words in a sentence is not shouting, its highlighting, just because YOU assumed I was shouting does not mean I was, you also chose to comment in a mocking manner, just because I won't believe as you do? Thats the actions of a controlling bully!

Not sure where to begin with this.

You've stated some things I don't agree with and therefore disagreed. I stated some things you disagreed with and therefore you disagreed.

My objective is not to bully and actually I find it quite interesting that you've taken that approach especially as I'd say some of your posts directed directly at me have been not just dismissive of many points I've put forward. Now if you're going to stoop to name calling I'm going to wander off into the sunset and deal with reality rather than "magic powers" of charlatans such as uri geller.

By the way, using capitals is shouting whether you want them to be "emphasising" or not.
