Uri Geller

Uri Geller is one of the world’s most investigated and celebrated mystifiers. Famous around the globe for his mind-bending abilities, the best-known of which is for spoons to curl up right at his fingertips and before your very eyes, he has led a unique life shrouded in debate, controversy and mystery.

Born in Israel, December 1946, Uri’s parents were of Hungarian and Austrian descent, and he is distantly related on his mother’s side to Sigmund Freud. At the age of four he had a mysterious encounter with a sphere of light while in a garden near his house. A retired Israeli air force officer, who was an eyewitness to this encounter, validated this mystifying event decades later.

Uri first became aware of his unusual powers when he was five years old. One day, during a meal, his spoon curled up in his hand and broke, although he had applied no physical pressure to it. His parents were somewhat shocked and Uri did not mention the incident to anyone else at that time. He developed these powers in school by demonstrating them to pupils. His mother thought he inherited them from Sigmund Freud.

When he was eleven, Uri went to live in Cyprus, where he remained until he was seventeen. He then returned to Israel, served as a paratrooper in the Israeli army and fought in the Six-Day War of 1967 during which he was wounded in action. From 1968 to 1969 Uri worked as a model, being photographed for many different ad campaigns.

In 1969, Uri Geller began to demonstrate his powers of telepathy and psychokinesis to small audiences. By the end of 1971, he was a household name throughout Israel, thanks to his numerous stage appearances. He was given a huge boost by the then Prime Minister, Golda Meir when asked on a national radio programme what she predicted for the future of Israel, she replied, “Don’t ask me – ask Uri Geller!”

Uri has been studied by the world’s leading scientists, including a few who worked with Albert Einstein. He has lectured to the directors and CEOs of large multinational companies such as Henkel, the Prime Minister’s Conference, Novartis, Mizuno, Sony, Rolls Royce, Hallmark and many more.

He was also invited by PriceWaterhouseCoopers as a speaker to the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, along with such dignitaries as Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney and Steve Forbes. Uri has also lectured to the heads of Reuters in Jerusalem and also to the heads of Google Europe.

Uri Geller’s artistic skills began during his early childhood. A ‘pupil’ of Salvador Dali, whom he knew well, Uri has exhibited his drawings, paintings and artworks in major galleries and museums in the USA, Europe, Japan and Israel. His drawings are featured on both Belinda Carlisle’s and Michael Jackson’s albums, and he helped to design the logo of the most successful boy band in the world ever, N*SYNC.

Although he is not a Magician, Uri Geller was very proud to accept the David Berglas International Magic Award in London in 2008, for his services to the promotion of Magic. In 2015, Uri received The Wizard Trophy, for his contribution to the magic world. In 2012 Uri also received the Star Foundation award at the House of Commons (UK Parliament) in London, in recognition of his charity work.

In 2017, the CIA released a large volume of previously top secret data, including documents and memos about the tests that were performed on Uri Geller. The CIA concluded that Uri “demonstrated his paranormal perception ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner’.
