    ¿Sabían que el ilusionista Uri Geller fue sometido a pruebas científicas por la CIA para verificar si sus supuestas capacidades mentales eran reales?

    En 1973, Geller fue invitado al Instituto de Investigación de Stanford para participar en una serie de experimentos controlados por los físicos Harold Puthoff y Russell Targ. Durante ocho días, se le pidió que reprodujera dibujos realizados por científicos en habitaciones separadas y selladas sin tener contacto visual con ellos. Los resultados de estas pruebas mostraron que Geller logró replicar varios trazos con una precisión que los investigadores calificaron como difícil de explicar por el azar. Estos documentos fueron desclasificados en 2017 y revelaron que la agencia de inteligencia estadounidense mostró un interés genuino en el uso de la percepción extrasensorial para labores de espionaje.

    A pesar de estos registros, su carrera estuvo marcada por la confrontación directa con James Randi, un mago y escéptico profesional que se dedicó a demostrar que los trucos de Geller podían realizarse mediante técnicas de prestidigitación. En una famosa aparición en el programa de televisión The Tonight Show en 1973, Randi preparó los materiales de tal forma que Geller no pudo utilizar sus propios utensilios. Durante los veintidós minutos que duró su segmento, el ilusionista no logró doblar ni una sola cuchara ni identificar el contenido de recipientes cerrados, argumentando que se sentía presionado y que sus poderes no funcionaban bajo esas condiciones.

  9. Im Winter 1977 lieh Uri Geller in Los Angeles ein Buch über seine angeblich übernatürlichen Kräfte aus. Nun, knapp 50 Jahre später, hat er es in einem Karton in Israel wiedergefunden. Die Bibliothek zeigt sich entspannt.#UriGeller #Israel #LosAngeles #BBC #Personalien #Leute
    Zauberkünstler: Uri Geller gibt Buch aus Bibliothek zurück – nach 47 Jahren

  11. What spoon-bending #charlatan #UriGeller is describing is a well-known #phenomenon known as the #BaaderMeinhof Phenomenon, or "#frequency bias". But in his mind, it's spectacular proof of #aliens. Uri routinely panders to the #uncritical, #credulous mind, and this is no different. You can safely discard anything this guy has to say.

  16. #UriGeller is a committed, lifelong #charlatan. When he's not trying to pass off photos from the X-Files as legit, he's bending spoons, and engaging in stage hypnosis. It's amazing to me that after 40+ years of this shtick, there are people who apparently still think he's the real deal.

  33. I read the David Segal NYT article about #UriGeller this weekend, in greater and greater disbelief as I read such simpering credulous rhetoric of an obvious charlatan.

    Steven Novella has published an analysis of this article:

    “Segal just glosses over this entire affair, saying only that Geller has not disclosed how much he charged. But in my opinion this is pretty solid evidence that Geller is a charlatan. He charged millions for a service based on his claims to psychic powers.”
