Uri Geller’s Psychokinesis Powers Were Activated by a UFO
Article by Nadine Linge June 16, 2021 (dailystar.co.uk)
• Uri Geller (pictured above) who has claimed to use his powers of psychokinesis to help Scotland beat England in the (delayed) Euro 2020 football championship, says that he got these abilities – reading thoughts and manipulating objects with his mind – after an encounter with a UFO when he was three years old.
• As a boy, Geller was struck by a ray of light like a laser beam from a UFO. Days later when he had a bowl of soup, the spoon drooped. He then progressed to making the metal of his watches move, causing basketballs to curve towards the hoop when he threw them and looking at the back of other students’ heads to see what they were writing in exam papers.
• Geller, 74, was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he now lives. He is a distant cousin of famous psychologist Sigmund Freud on his mother’s side. At 18, Geller volunteered as a paratrooper in the Israeli army and was wounded in the head and arm during 1967’s Six-Day War which saw Israel clash with Jordan, Egypt and Syria. Afterward, he worked as a male model before finding fame with his own shows involving spoon bending, describing hidden drawings, and making watches stop or run faster.
• In 2009, Geller bought an uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland, which he believed to be the hiding place of ancient Egyptian treasure.
• In 2017, documents revealed Geller underwent a week of CIA experiments in 1973 as part of the Stargate Program, which investigated psychic powers and how they could be weaponized by the CIA. They concluded he did indeed have paranormal abilities. Geller says he worked with both the FBI and the CIA, to wipe KGB computer files, track serial killers and use brainwaves to influence Russia to sign a nuclear treaty.
Uri Geller plans to use his powers to help Scotland beat England on Friday – but how much do
you know about the celebrity spoon bender?
He vowed to make up for his actions at Euro 96 after claiming to have moved the ball as Scotland’s Gary McAllister ran up to take a penalty.
And while Brits are sporting the tin foil hats your trusty Daily Star printed to combat his spooky brainwaves, we reveal 12 eerie Uri facts.
1. Geller, 74, was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he now lives. He is a distant cousin of famous psychologist Sigmund Freud on his mum’s side.
2. Geller says his powers of telepathy and psychokinesis –reading thoughts and manipulating objects with his mind –were activated by an encounter with a UFO when he was three. He claims he was struck by a ray of light like a laser beam and days later when he had a bowl of soup, the spoon drooped.
3. As a boy he progressed to making the metal of his watches move, causing
basketballs to curve towards the hoop when he threw them and looking at the back of other students’ heads to see what they were writing in exam papers.
4. At 18 Geller volunteered as a paratrooper in the Israeli army, and was wounded in the head and arm during 1967’s Six-Day War which saw Israel clash with Jordan, Egypt and Syria.
5. After the army, he worked as a male model before finding fame with his own shows involving spoon bending, describing hidden drawings, and making
watches stop or run faster.
6. In 2017, documents revealed Geller underwent a week of CIA experiments in 1973 as part of the Stargate programme which investigated psychic powers and how they could be weaponised by the CIA. They concluded he did indeed have paranormal abilities.
7. Geller claims he worked with both the FBI and the CIA, to wipe KGB computer files, track serial killers and use brainwaves to influence Russia to sign a nuclear treaty.
8. Sceptics claim Geller’s performances can be duplicated using tricks. Stage magicians suggest spoon-bending can be done using misdirection to get an audience to briefly look away as the implement is physically bent, or heating it previously, making it easier to manipulate.
9. Geller was pals with Michael Jackson, and Jacko was best man when he renewed his vows to wife Hannah in 2001. He also introduced the singer to controversial journalist Martin Bashir – whose interview sparked Jackson’s child sex abuse trial.
