Uri Geller Key Bend Examined

Help With Acne

The "famous" key/spoon bender Uri Geller appeared on tv back in 1976 where he ofcourse was bending keys and spoons OH MY. In this excerpt he appears to bend a key with his Bio Energy when actually all he is doing is moving his hand at an angle and making it appear as though the key is bending, a technic used by magacians called ratcheting. If you watch the video completely and then watch at the end I super impose the before and after shot of the key and guess what? They are EXACTLY THE SAME... The guy is a complete fraud. So I guess James Randi is right, he is merely doing tricks.

Many people already been fool by Geller, hope everyone will be more rational and logical and skeptical in thinking, because people like Geller are using con man tactics to earn money. If many people still choose to believe then infuture more con man will be able to earn money easily.

James Randi i totally agree, Psychics does not exist in this world, Psychics are fake, the people who claims they have Psychics power they are as worst as Satan because they are con man..... There is something feeble & a little comtemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths.

I heed your tender words of caution nicemutant. I am well aware of the dangers associated with gravy-bending, too many lives have been lost. That is why I have taken the experiment offshore, far from major population centres. I am conducting the experiment on a ship. I call it the "gravy boat". You wouldn't happen to have a large hadron collider I could borrow? I'll give it back when the cheque from Bisto clears.

Tender man, very tender.... but what I said about the gravy stands. You cannot possibly understand the wider ramifications of what you are attempting. However, fortune often favours the brave, so I wish you good luck. Who knows you may even get to the advanced stage of actually creating a "tender" gravy.... but then again... best to take things one step at a time smgill21.... one step at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day. The world will just have to wait. Tenderly.

nicemutant: Words of wisdom indeed. "tender". But my gravy-bending experiment must continue. The granules cannot be un-dissolved. "tender". I might be on the verge of the greatest scientific discovery of the century, if not the afternoon. "tender". Now I'm off to the grape shop.
nicemutant (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
smgill21: Here's a free lesson... why don't you just try eating grapes and saying the word "tender" randomly or in order to describe sports action highlights in front of your pals. Seriously ... life tips. Then look into the eyes of the sky and pray the pain in your mind leaves you behind. Stay AWAY from the gravy.....

You're right. I should repeat the experiment. But this time, instead of spoons, I will use gravy. I intend to use my bedroom curtains blowing in a gentle breeze as a relativistic inertial reference frame, and several spoons of Bisto dissolved in warm water to represent gravy.

Update: We appear to be observing a subtle yet measurable bending motion in the control spoon. Despite frantic, sometimes masturbational rubbing of the experimental spoons, they have shown no sign of bending. If anything, they are harder.

smgill21: Well since the premise and overall attention to detail seem all but absent in your "experiment" ... how will you EVER expect to produce any viable data? Your knowledge or lack of in science is apparent. Perhaps you should understand the main tenets of what science entails BEFORE you claim to be unfathomably scientific. Cos as of now all I see is someone who is wasting time (but not much money) doing experiments which are obviously flawed in their inception.
smgill21 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
No nicemutant, my mind is not open, it's closed and unfathomably scientific. So I undertook, at minimal expense, a scientific experiment involving three spoons. 1.The spoon which I would rub. 2. the spoon which another would rub, and 3. the control spoon (which would not be rubbed at all). The results are inconclusive so far.
