Semifinal. Not bad though this time I was not realy impressed by any of acts.
No, I liked very much one act - but it was Uri's act with 2 stones. I did it with 2 pens and felt like there were magnetic attraction between them or rubber.
As for second Uri's act (he showed "remote viewing" for Kary Novel) it just made me laugh because Uri pretended that by chance had found a pen on the floor, and after Kary wrote the number Uri asked him to cast him the pen.:))) It was too clear that this was a special "espionage" pen. Uri, darling, please, prepare your acts better!!!
Now, back to mentalists.
Nefesh - "Date"
I like very much the idea of the act but the realization... Just think: a man invites a girl on a date and asks her... to IMAGINE water, red wine, food on the table, etc.! I'd kill the "admirer" for such date or would offer him to imagine dance or sex.:))) No, I'd make this act in another way! A man asks girl what flowers she likes - she answers - he shows audience the sign and gives her the flowers! He asks what wine does she like? She answers - he takes off the cover from the bottle, and we all see the wine. They drink wine, after this he asks what she would like to eat? And takes off the cover from dishes on the table... and in the end he asks what gift she would like to get, and gives her a golden ring or another thing...
Zakris - 4 boxes, girl and hammer.
Very beautiful music and Zakris looks great as always! But the hammer doesn't look enough threatening. Zakris destroys only cover of the box and in any case can't make any harm to a person inside. Besides this Zakris came too close to the boxes and could almost touch them and hear breathing of the girl, or she could even tell him that she is there. And what about the doll? I expected that it will be in the third box and Zakris will damage it by hammer to show audience what could happen to the girl!
Pedram - almost the same act, just Pedram is inside the box.
Sorry I didn't understand what he was doing in the box. Was he sitting squat? Then he didn't risk at all, arrows couldn't make him any harm. And it was necessary to open a box after every shot to make sure that mentalist is not there.
As for Kary Novel and Phedon they didn't impress me, I am not fond of such acts though Kary Novel is very charming.

Very nice show.
Most of all I enjoyed Pedram's act with cucumbers. He is really very courageous - to teach a girl during one minute to cut cucumbers blindfold and... lie to the table under the sword!
I also liked Zakris's act with boxes and hammer(though The Mask in Netherlands impressed me more). White boxes looked fine, and appearance of the hammer was impressive.
Zakris is a real star of the show, he has a fan club! I didn't expect that Uri will choose him to leave the show but it seems that Uri (or maybe producers) wanted to make fan club work? Of course he stayed, I was almost sure.
Kary Novel (Candyman) - very beautiful act with sweets. But why Kary didn't give the candies to his assistants in the end of the act???!!! Christos is a smart man, as he began to throw the candies to audience.
Phedon's act with telepathy was not bad too and I have no ideas how could he know and write words before people said them. Or maybe they all were actors...
Nefesh's spiritism - well, mystical, beautiful, but as Uri said, too long. And I doubt that the girl really had seen her grandmother.
Vilentoni's act with greeting cards - I would stop on the table with roulette. Not too bad, but... I am not sorry that Vilentoni left show, and he was not upset too.
Uri spoke about Neofitos that he regrets and it's a fault of Cypriots which didn't support him. Yes, it's a pity.

Just good show.
Most of all I liked Pedram's act with TARO cards, it was original and fresh.
Zakris's act (photos of phobias) was not bad too though I agree with Uri that it would be better to take the spider out of the glass box.
And there was one act which I didn't like at all - ΝΕΟΦΥΤΟΣ's - guns with nails.
I have seen this act before in other shows but this time it was especially disgusting, and the mentalist looked like an idiot-masochist.
There was no "drama" in this act like Uri said, it was just an awful, stupid and detestable perfomance.
I am sorry about this mentalist because he is handsome, charismatic and could show something better. Maybe had had no choice and simply couldn't choose another act.
Again I knew Uri's decision before he called names of 2 mentalists.
I just hoped that ΝΕΟΦΥΤΟΣ will stay but it seems that all audience disliked his last act. I am sorry, ΝΕΟΦΥΤΟΣ.

I would like to start from the end because it was really moving. I don't know why producers of the show decided to return back one of contestants but it was really unusual and interesting moment. Though I would prefer back Sankara or The Godfather.
I knew again beforehand that this time Godfather will be eliminated. I felt cold from him like he already didn't belong to the show. I am sorry about him but his acts were really not the best.
Zakris's act impressed me most of all, especially the episode with ice which was very beautiful. I will not be surprised if Zakris will win the show.
ΝΕΟΦΥΤΟΣ's act (with Michael Jackson, song "Heal the world" and ballons) was interesting but I don't think it was proper to show photos of Uri and Michael. Though I suppose the mentalist didn't invent the act himself I had a feeling that he tried to "bribe" Uri this way. It was not pleasant.
There was one funny moment when they showed Uri speaking about last act when
ΝΕΟΦΥΤΟΣ stopped his heart. Uri called the act "unique" though we have watched it already many times in other shows. Well, well, Uri is a good actor!
Last telepathic act was also not bad, funny little man on the pictures.

Great show. This time I enjoyed absolutely all acts, every minute of the perfomance.
It'd be hard to say who of contestants was the best this evening but Pedram's act with scorpions impressed me most. And "yogi" Sankara's act with "papyrus" looked very beautiful, very well performed. It's a pity that Sankara left the show.
Vilentoni's Gioconda and Kary Novel were also very good and convincing.
As for Uri's "telepathic message" - he sent the star again like in French or another show before. I suppose that most people always select star, it is not telepathy.
But I have got another, really telepathic message from Uri - when he looked at the contestants and decided which 2 impressed him the least I understood his decision (Sankara and Vilentoni) before Uri called their names! The same had happened last time with Godfather. So telepathy really exists, and I can read mind!

Uri looks great in the blue shirt!
Blue is his color, not black! Uri, please, dress in blue more often!
I liked this perfomance though there were no acts which would really impress me, I have watched most of them before.
The best act was performed by Villentoni who was looking for a hidden item, and audience in masks.
Godfather is still great but I am not fond of his acts. The stick and bricks were obviously sham.
In tne end of the show before Uri called name of God Father I have read his mind and understood he will say this name.

Why does Uri turn out young talented magicians? The boy ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ was not the worst, I liked his act with guessing of items and even his mistake (with a battery) didn't ruin the positive impression. Audience enjoyed the act too.
Pedram's act was really the worst and most boring, there was nothing to watch - all the guns with paint, no danger, no risk, no intrigue.
Most of all I enjoyed Zakris's act with FIRE. So beautiful and dramatic perfomance, accompanied by wonderful music, Zakris looked like a romantic hero in black.
I absolutely agree with Uri who said:"Your detection of spirit's world through the fire was very moving". Yes, it really was.
Uri looked happy and young, in an unusual T-shirt which was a good fit for him. Did he dye hair? I am surprised that Uri was so happy and smiled in the beginning of the show after the bomb threat. Though maybe he was happy that there was no bomb and the show got more PR?
Uri told that he likes to create a mystery and mystify "people at home". make them guess if the things which he does are real or not. I can understand this but does Uri also like to mystify scientists, government and oil companies? It's a miracle that he didn't get beans yet for such jokes.:)

Really enjoy this blue light. It creates a mysterious atmosphere.
Well, I liked this perfomance though nobody of contestants managed to amaze me. But I have chosen my favourite - The Godfather! He is very charismatic, handsome and looks like Jesus Christ. Though his act (Shadows) could be better. I expected from him more than just touching girls by stick.
As for other contestants, I liked Costas Costa who made a man "lucky" by magic watch and helped him to "win" in a lottery. The act was funny, original and very positive.
I also liked Nefesch from El Salvador (act "Dreams" with telepathy and drawing - he "read" and drew dreams of a girl.) The act was beautiful, and I am sorry that Uri turned him out.
ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ's act (he guessed in what hand is a stone) was simple but funny and not bad. Amila performed this act in German show.
I liked beginning of "yogi" Sankara's act - nice video about the contestant, and i was really impressed and even a little scared to see so many snakes. But I suppose that the snakes were not venomous as than man took them by hands. Besides this the table looked too suspicious, like there was an automatic machine inside, and snakes could fall into it and come back when it is necessary. To my mind there were no snakes at all when Sankara poked holes in the pots because snakes would stir and try to climb out. So the act was unconvincing.
And I didn't like Vilentoni's act with girls and photos. Though the girls were pretty but in so awful black smokes! I thought they will undress later but they didn't, only one girl stripped but it would be better for her not to do it, as she was fat... Nemetov performed this act better. Uri has found this act "very entertaining", I don't know why.
Uri's act with red radish was not bad but I didn't understand what flowers were doing on the stage. I liked more the dramatic moment close to the end when Uri had chosen a contestant who will leave the show and when he embraced the poor Nefesch which was almost crying. It really looked impressive.

Greek contestants
Γνωρίστε τους 11 υποψηφίους διαδόχους του Uri Geller:
1. COSTAS COSTA Το χιούμορ αποτελεί τη βασική μορφή επικοινωνίας του με τους ανθρώπους. Εμπνέεται και ζει μέσα από αυτό. Κατάγεται από την Κύπρο και οι ικανότητές του μπορούν είτε να μας αφήσουν άφωνους, είτε να μας κάνουν να δακρύσουμε από τα γέλια!!!
2. KARY NOVEL O 27χρονος «διανοούμενος» mentalist. Του αρέσει το διάβασμα, γράφει νουβέλες, αγαπάει τη μουσική και ισχυρίζεται ότι βλέπει όσα εμείς δε μπορούμε να δούμε. Μια ματιά του φτάνει για να μας διαβάσει σαν «ανοιχτό βιβλίο»...
3. NEFESCH Ο 26χρονος mentalist κατάγεται από το Ελ Σαλβαδόρ. Όνειρό του είναι να τον αγκαλιάσει και να τον αγαπήσει το ελληνικό κοινό. Έχει ελληνικές ρίζες, θαυμάζει τον ελληνικό πολιτισμό και γι’ αυτό διάλεξε την Ελλάδα για να κάνει ένα νέο ξεκίνημα.
4. PEDRAM Ο 22χρονος mentalist είναι περσικής καταγωγής, μεγάλωσε στη Γερμανία και από τα 11 του χρόνια ζει στην Ελλάδα. Ασχολείται 15 χρόνια με τις πολεμικές τέχνες. Έχει κατακτήσει την ικανότητα πλήρους αυτοσυγκράτησης και πειθαρχίας και νιώθει σίγουρος για κάθε του κίνηση. Έχει μάθει να ζει με τον κίνδυνο, που θεωρεί ότι είναι ο πιο σκληρός αντίπαλός του. Ξέρει να τον προκαλεί, αλλά και να τον αποφεύγει.
5. PHEDON Ο 35χρονος Φαίδων είναι ελληνικής καταγωγής, μεγάλωσε στο Καμερούν και ήρθε με σκοπό να μας καταπλήξει με τις ικανότητές του. Έζησε έντονη ζωή, γεμάτη πλούσιες εμπειρίες και γι’ αυτό εμπιστεύεται το ένστικτό του. Το μίγμα καμερουνέζικης, γαλλικής και ελληνικής κουλτούρας τον καθιστά μοναδικό!!!
6. SANKARA Ο 34χρονος Κρητικός ίσως σε κάποια άλλη ζωή να ζούσε στη μακρινή Ινδία. Δεν είναι λίγα τα ερεθίσματα που έχει από τη μαγευτική χώρα της Νότιας Ασίας. Ακόμα και το όνομά του προέρχεται από τον Ινδό φιλόσοφο «Σανκάρα». Η γιόγκα όμως ήταν αυτή που τον ώθησε στο χώρο του mentalism. Το έχει βάλει σκοπό να μας καταπλήξει και να μας αποκαλύψει μια νέα πλευρά του εαυτού του, την οποία κι εκείνος θα ανακαλύψει από την αρχή!
7. THE GODFATHER Είναι 31 ετών, κατάγεται από τη Λευκωσία της Κύπρου και έχει ζήσει πολλά χρόνια στην Αμερική. Τον ελκύει καθετί περίεργο, ανεξήγητο και υπερφυσικό . Ο «άνθρωπος με τα πολλά πρόσωπα» ξέρει πώς να εντυπωσιάζει και να συνεπαίρνει το κοινό του.
8. VILENTONI Είναι 29 ετών, ζει στην Αθήνα και όλοι οι φίλοι του τον θαυμάζουν για τις ικανότητές του. Ο γοητευτικός mentalist ισχυρίζεται ότι ξέρει να διαβάζει το γυναικείο μυαλό! Η αδρεναλίνη του ανεβαίνει στα ύψη όταν πρόκειται να αντιμετωπίσει το γυναικείο φύλο, καθώς τον εξιτάρει και τον κάνει να νιώθει πιο δυνατός.
9. ZACRIS Είναι 31 ετών. Γεννήθηκε και μεγάλωσε στο Ηράκλειο της Κρήτης. Από μικρός άρχισε να αντιλαμβάνεται ότι δεν έμοιαζε με τα υπόλοιπα παιδιά της ηλικίας του... Αγαπάει το θέατρο και είναι συλλέκτης σπάνιων μεσαιωνικών αντικειμένων. Άλλωστε ο μεσαίωνας φαίνεται πως είναι μια εποχή που τον έχει σημαδέψει. Το επιβλητικό του βλέμμα κόβει την ανάσα!
10. ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΛΟΥΚΟΣ Είναι ο νεότερος mentalist και αυτό τον κάνει να θέλει να ξεπερνά κάθε φορά τον εαυτό του. Είναι μαθητής της Γ’ Λυκείου και θέλει να μας αποδείξει ότι η διαίσθησή του είναι πιο ανεπτυγμένη από των ανθρώπων γύρω του. Δε διστάζει να παραδεχτεί ότι κάθε μέρα ανακαλύπτει και μια καινούρια δυνατότητά του, όπως άλλωστε ανακαλύπτει και την ίδια τη ζωή!
11. ΝΕΟΦΥΤΟΣ Κατάγεται από την Πάφο της Κύπρου και είναι 29 ετών. Η δύναμη του Νεόφυτου είναι η θετική ενέργεια. Πιστεύει ότι αν όλοι μας την ανακαλύψουμε, θα εκπλαγούμε απo αυτά που μπορούμε να καταφέρουμε. Μας προσκαλεί να αφεθούμε στα χέρια του και υπόσχεται να μη μας απογοητεύσει.
I wonder why so many from Cyprus?

There is an interesting discussion on the forum, Greek mentalists about Uri Geller and his show:

Greek Uri Geller started!
In Greece the show is called:"Ο διάδοχος του Uri Geller".
I really enjoy the perfomance!
Impressive music, background, light and costumes. Charming contestants. Uri is in good shape though too skinny. I wonder do they feed him?
I especially liked act with telepathy (drawing of aeroplane), telekinesis (wooden spoon on the table) and Uri's act with broken watches.
Pedram's act with knives had a big success but for me it was too long.
This act is a little funny in the end.

Minute of Fame with Max Maximov
Yesterday "Minute of Fame" began on the central (1) TV station. There were many good contestants but I especially liked Max Maximov from Latvia who showed tricks with spoons and forks. He bent a lot of them in different ways, rubbing and on distance, he spiraled them and jurors couldn't unbend the spoons. He was so young, charming and self-confident! The perfomance was brilliant.
It is interesting that nobody said even a word about Uri Geller though for me his influence and influence of the show Phenomenon (The Next Uri Geller) were evident, the boy looked exactly like a contestant from the show (sure he could become a winner).
Max had big success, people were amazed and asked how he is doing this and is it a gift or result of training, and Max answered mistily. He works as a metal artist (craftsman) and it seems likes metal a lot!:)
I just think that perfomance like this is not for big audience. Though it looks great on TV screen but even the judges of a contest which were close to the stage couldn't see the tricks well (and Max had to repeat the trick specially for jury just near their table), what to say about other spectators.
Video and photo of Max's perfomance can be found here:

It is interesting that nobody said even a word about Uri Geller though for me his influence and influence of the show Phenomenon (The Next Uri Geller) were evident, the boy looked exactly like a contestant from the show (sure he could become a winner).

The Greek Uri Geller
24 October 2009 - The Greek Uri Geller starting!
It seems one more "The Next Uri Geller"? I am very curious and excited to watch Greek contestants. Greece is my favourite country, I have been there twice and would be happy to visit it again and again... Greeks are so special people, warm and kind. And some of them are very handsome!:)

Surrealism - Salvador Dali and his successor Uri Geller
I am sorry to say though I am well educated and studied Art I didn't knew this genius well before, at universaty we had too little time for every artist, maybe there was just half an hour for Salvador Dali and he didn't impress me. But when I have seen Uri's paintings I was shocked, it was something very special. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the pics.
Uri said it's a style of Salvador Dali... and I decided to go to Spain and visit museum of Dali. Have you been there? Arhictecture of the building is very original (the eggs:), sculptures near too. Statues of Oscars which Dali dreamt to get...:)
And of course his pictures. They are fantastic. And I do understand this kind of Art, even if it looks so unusual. These are pictures of subconsciousness, pictures of dreams! One thing turns into another, maybe it is strange but all Universe is one whole! It only seems to us that we are different, that the things are apart.
Sure it is very useful to look every day at such pictures to come inside yourself, to contact your own subconsciousness.
I also understood there that Dali had a big influence on Uri Geller! Not only on sketches. I have seen there a lot of tea spoons and Cadillac, and Dali's golden jewellery (shapes of serpents).
As for sketches I have seen them too, on the walls, and yes Uri really paints in Dali's style but Uri's sketches are better! Dali's works are too fast and slipshod.
And Uri's designs of jewellery though he starts from Dali, are more interesting and original too!
I don't speak of pictures because Dali was a real Master, he studied at Academy and perfected himself for years, it would be difficult to excel him but... Uri, as an artist, as a designer is a deserving successor of Dali.
And his famous Cadillac with spoons... is a worthy work of Surrealist Art!

Does telepathy exist?
During this last show Uri sent an image of a star, and half of viewers got it.
Before recognition of telepathy it is necessary to consider other versions, I have some:
1. It was "magic of stereotypes". If to ask many people one question (for example, your favourite flower?" - most will give one answer (rose). So maybe most people usually choose STAR among these images.
2. Viewers could guess what Uri has drawn by his movements.
3. Uri has intentionally drawn attention to the star.
4. 25 shot (hidden image on the TV screen which comes directly to subconsciousness).
5. Hypnosis (it is already not far from real telepathy).
I only don't know how to interpret the fact that some viewers get the image before Uri begins to send it... I had the same experience.

La Soiree de L'Etrange with Uri Geller on TF1 in France
The Night of the Strange.
One more great show with Uri. It had a big success - market share reached 24.2% over four years and older and 31.7% in the household less than fifty years! TF1 was the leader on this target. And hundreds (if not thousands) of Internet comments and messages to Uri.
It seems this guy is not too old yet!:)))
Well, actually Uri was born to become TV showman. His charisma, his power are remarkable.
I just think Uri Geller made a mistake to become a spoonbender. At first, I've seen already several magicians which are bending spoons better - more impressive, on distance, by one look or some passes. Besides this it is nice to watch spoonbending once, maybe twice, but nobody wants to watch it every day. That's why Uri has to travel all time from one country to another to surprise those who hadn't seen this trick yet. If Uri would choose a little different kind of TV career - maybe a TV hypnotist, a TV compere, etc. it would be better for him and his reputation, and nobody would call him a fraud.
I see public sincerely loves him and I like Uri's modesty - when they make compliments Uri answeres that he is just an ordinary person, not a God. It seems he doesn't suffer from "star illness".
Now I am interested in audience of such shows. Many people wrote that spoons fell (jumped) down from TV. I don't believe that it really had happened because of Uri and show. It would be interesting to make an experiment and ask people to put their spoons on TV during other show, without Uri and watch what will happen. I am almost sure that the result will be the same, spoons will fall - there could be something with balance, electrostatic influence, vibrations or such other things. Not power of mind, I suppose.
Though there was one interesting letter about a spoon which damaged TV:
"Hello, as you all, I attended the show on the TF1 evening the strange.
So I set myself my spoon on my TV, designed my star. But I was very shocked, I could not sleep that night, and I think not even sleep for weeks, because when Uri Geller said one two three, my spoon was starting to dilate and then melt, and finally to disengage to finish in a state of powder, leaving the plastic television track net. While the experience was impressive, I think many people have also experienced the same as me, but my TV very dear to my heart has been severely damaged since the burning of the spoon digging left a 1.5 cm deep and about 3 cm ². In addition, the massive silver spoon is not at all usable."
The author is going to demand compensation and asks to join him writing by e-mail those which property was damaged too.
If the story is true the case is going to be very interesting!
I don't know how to explain this incident.

Magik and magic
Since I started to learn this topic I get more and more upset. No, there are some great magicians as David Copperfield, etc. which I just admire (though not much interested in their tricks).
The thing which makes me sad when magicians claim that they have supernatural powers and cheat public, journalists and even scientists. It's a kind of swindle because they "earn" big money this way.
Though I even more upset when people who are much more than just magicians but really follow spiritual (magical, healing) way or have true powers... cheat as well! I don't want to call names because it is not one or 2 cases, but too many, so many that it is already hard to believe anyone!
It's not easy for me to understand such people.
The reason is maybe because all of them are crazy about money.
Governement is going to clamp down the activity for a long time, and church supports them. I didn't approve the ideas before because know that energy is real and some people can master it and use to help others.
But as most cheat maybe the idea is not so bad! At least there must be no so big and loud advertising of the activity because when people spend so big money (millions!) for the advertising they hope to return the money back. and they can do it only one way - cheating, cheating, cheating...
I am on for honesty. If you are magician, illusionist, mentalist, hypnotist, etc. - fine, call spade a spade! If you are talented, you will become famous, and everyone will respect and admire you!
If you have a real power - use it to help people for reasonable reward and don't show tricks. Don't try to look better and stronger than you are. You can find thousands of reasons... but lie is lie. And it is impossible to go spiritual way if you cheat your
followers.
It is not true that "people are pigeons, they want to be cheated". It's a self-justification of criminals.
All people want, need and deserve verity.

Pyrokinesis - King of Fire
Today I have watched some very interesting videos about one psychic from Kazakstan and have read a big discussion about the videos. This man could become "The Next Uri Geller"! He can heat and burn by hand using mantras GLIM and IM.
Of course it could be a trick. At the same time, this man explaines in detailes how he learned to do it, how all this works, about energy ball, etc. He is very convincing and has a lot of clients. So the things could be real and at least deserve attention and observation.

More about rock crystals
Rock crystal is a kind of clear colorless quartz which is often used like a gemstone and imitation of diamond. It usually occurs in quartz veins where it crystallizes inside rock cavities (vugs). The best rock crystal sources are in the famous Hot Springs area of Arkansas, USA; Cumberland, England; St. Gotthard, Switzerland; Brazil and Madagascar. Large individual crystals of quartz have been found in Brazil, the largest weighs over 44 tons.
Pliny wrote about 2000 years ago that rock crystal formed from ice by intense cold in the mountains. This belief was popular until the eighteenth century with emerging of modern geology.
Rock crystal is generally refered to as quartz crystal. The name quartz comes from the Saxon word querklufterz which means cross vein ore. Crystal comes from the Greek word krystallos which meant ice, due to the early general belief that rock crystal formed from ice.
Rock crystal been used as gemstones and other ornamental and religous objects for thousands of years. Polished rock crystal spheres or crystal balls were used as a means of divination or scrying in medieval times. For thousands of years before this, rock crystal and objects made from it were used for divination, disease diagnosis and healing, and for awareness of current events in distant places in many ancient cultures.
Rock crystal stimulates mental clarity, emotional stability, positive thoughts and feelings, helps to amplify psychic abilities.
Rock crystal gives relief from pain, speeds up recovering from radiation exposure, stimulates the immune system.
Rock crystal is the symbolic gemstone for the 15th wedding anniversary.

Rock crystal
Inspired by Uri's jewellery I have got a stone of rock crystal in the shape of heartlet + a small crystal ball and rose quartz, "brother" of rock crystal which is also quartz. They are entrancing, I love them and keep on the dressingtable near my bed, together with a glass pyramid and a moonstone.
And it's a whole story how I have bought my crystals and how I buy stones!
For me stones are alive creatures, they can respond and even talk! I can hear them. And I usually buy only stones which want or ask me to purchase them.
When I took into my palm a stone of rose quartz it began to cry and demand from me to buy it immediately, and I had to run and do this just to calm the stone.
But I had to spend much more time picking rock crystals because they were silent and didn't want to talk to me. Then I took one crystal to one hand and second to another and listened to my feelings. Suddenly a stone in my hand became hot, and I understood which of them will be mine.
When I have brought the crystals home I have got interesting visions - imperial palaces, delicious crystal vases and chandeliers...
I hope that my crystals will help me to concentrate on prayers, spells and to see past and future. And rose quartz will attract love.

Uri Geller's Jewellery on QVC
I admire Uri's design again and again. His jewellery is a true work of Art.
At first - really original idea to couple gold and rock crystal. And unique style.
Last time I especially enjoyed earrings - "Angel drop" with little figurine of angels and "Infinity Star Drop".
Very beautiful and quaint Ankh Cross Crystal Ring.
And much more splendid treasures:
Gold Round rock crystal ring
Teadrop Crystal Charm
Diamond Shape Crystal Charm
Celtic Pendant, etc.
Once Uri promised me a watch from his collection. It's a pity Uri Geller is not from people who keeps his word, ot maybe just had forgotten about the promise. It doesn't matter for me because I already have a good watch. But if one day he will bring me one from these wonderful things it would make me happy.
They are so beautiful!

"Detective" Uri Geller
I have read the interesting story here:
"In 1992 (...) mother of a missing teenager asked him to locate her. Helga Farkas had vanished in Budapest shortly after her high school graduation the previous year, and her new sports car had been found abandoned. Geller announced to the family and to the Hungarian press that Helga was alive and would soon be returning home.
Authorities later learned that József Csapó and his associate Benedek Juhász had kidnapped Helga for ransom, then killed her when the public attention became too intense. Csapo was convicted of her murder in 1998. Her body has not been recovered."
To my opinion, Uri Geller hadn't "seen" anything, just wanted to calm down family of Helga.

Uri Geller and Safronovs
I see illusionists Safronovs really fell in love with Uri! They protect him now so flamingly! They offer not to guess how he is doing the tricks and if the things are real, just enjoy positive atmosphere. Uri is a "mystificator" - and it is enough to know.
Brothers are really convictive - but at the same time...
Nobody calls illusionist David Copperfield, David Blain or Criss Angel "fraud", "charlatan", they are world famous and honoured magicians.
Nobody in Russia considers that Brothers Safronovs "cheat", nobody tries to "catch" and "expose" them, they have good reputation, there's no negative aura around them like around Uri.
It seems that Uri does something wrong with PR.
Uri likes to say that controversy made him famous - but these people became famous without controversy, just because they were charismatic, talented, hardworking and did their work well.
Maybe Uri shouldn't call himself a "mystificator"? Say that you are illusionist, mentalist, and everyone will love you.
P.S. I liked how they mimic Geller!:) "When you meet a girl, tell her:"1, 2, 3... Work!" or "The bed is yours!"

Uri Geller and Roman Lutoshkin
Very interesting and strange moment! During Malahov's show Uri Geller publicly admired perfomance of Roman Lutoshkin (trick with a spoon) and invited him to take part in his show. But later, in dressing room, Uri said that will not take Roman to the show because Roman called him a deceiver and because he is a loser.
I can suppose that Uri has changed his mind, maybe someone from Roman's ill-wishers "helped" him.
It is also possible that Uri had mixed feelings to Roman - admiration and jaundice to the young challenger.

Uri Geller vs illusionists - Who did win the battle?
It was very interesting to read Internet comments especially at the illusionist's forum about the Malahov show!
I agree with them that the main goal of Malahov was to arrange a scandal and make Geller flare up. But it didn't happen, Uri stayed positive, calm and confident. And it is possible to say that Uri won the battle because his opponents were too feeble and too nervous. He wiped out all of them with one phrase:"Why are you so angry? You should learn PR". As a result at the show Uri Geller just got an extra advertisement. Everybody now admires his behaviour and charisma.
At the same time, producers of the show declared that are going to expose Uri and prove that he cheats. And I can't say that after the show I or anyone else believed that Uri has supernatural abilities.
The show even convinced me in the contrary.
When Uri began to tell again stories about UFO's light in his childhood and about spoon which he broke when was 5, it became clear that he doesn't believe in all this rubbish himself. No need to check with detector, it was too evident lie. Even not a fairytale in which storyteller believes at the moment when he narrates it. No, just a flat deception. It seems that Uri already tired himself from the lie but has to repeat it again and again to keep the legend.
When Malahov asked Uri about his psychic gift Uri began to flounder: "I didn't tell that I have a gift... it is just a gift..."
After this Uri started to speak about his best friend John Lennon and a famous american astronaut. I have heard the tales many times before and they made me sad too. No, I don't think that this was a lie, it is possible that Uri really met the celebs. But it sounds like he tries to prove all time:"I mean something in this world because I was a friend of so famous people! And they even gave me gifts and advices!"
But you mean something in this world not when you've met some famous people and can tell about it. You mean something if famous people are proud, happy and tell everyone that they met you!
It seems Uri tries to hide diffidence behind great names. Uri Geller is not sure who is he and what is he doing in this world.
Maybe he should already change the record and reveal his own nature?
Uri, please, forget John Lennon and UFO! Forget spoons!
Do you still exist?
Who are you now?

TV show Uri Geller, King of Bent spoons
I really liked Roman Lutoshkin - Russian illusionist and his trick with a spoon. He bends spoons so easy that I'd believe that he does it using psychic power! He is more convincing than Geller - though maybe not so charismatic but very charming.
As for other illusionists they didn't impress me - Yuri Gornuy run around stage with cards screaming something inarticulate, an editor grew seeds but they didn't even show it well.
At the same time participants and spectators of the show told many right things - about power of TV which can make a "Phenomenon" from any geek, that Uri is a magician but sends out positive and gives people a good mood.
Very interesting moment - most viewers which wrote comments in Internet about the TV show didn't care if Uri is a magician or a wizard! They took him just like a person who can help to stop smoking!:)

TV show with Uri Geller
Just have watched the show of Malahov "Uri Geller - King of bent spoons" where they tried to make a scandal and expose Uri Geller. Well, they managed to expose him but there were no scandal. Maybe because Uri stayed confident and positive while most of his opponents were too nervous.
Uri called it the best show in his life. Of course it was just a compliment.
The show was not the best I have seen and not among the best of Uri Geller's shows. It looked too unprepared and unfinished, in the end Uri suddenly sprang to his feet and declared that he must already go but will show a shot of his fingerprint.:)
But there were many good moments as well and I can't say that the show was losing.
I enjoyed very much Uri's photos, his strong energy from TV screen, his rather confident behaviour, cheerful mood.
Though I don't like when Uri pronounces ready sentences, all time (in all shows and interviews) the same phrases - about his children which he took to Brazil to show poverty (especially as it sounds like he was a very greedy father),about his friend John Lennon, about mystic light, etc. He doesn't even care if the phrases are appropriate or not and tells them one by another.
But when he departs from the script the result can be really impressive. I appreciated Uri's sense of humour when he joked that doesn't want to check John Lennon's gift - a stone - because is afraid that the stone was made in Taiwan! Great joke, Uri!

Uri Geller in Moscow, spoons and pictures
I have visited some presentations of Uri Geller in Moscow and in the end have watched him bending spoons!
Well, what can I say? It was funny, I am glad that have seen this though can't affirm that I have been much impressed.
If a person has a strong psychokinetic ability it is enough for him just to look at spoon, maybe to make some passes or keep a spoon in his hand to bend it. But Uri rubs it very hard and very fast, so fast that I or anyone else would not be able to do this without long special training. He also very fast prints answers on his smartphone and paints pictures. Uri's fingers, all movements display an experienced illusionist.
As for energy, when I have watched the process for the first time I kept another metal item just near Uri and a spoon, but didn't feel any energy from Uri and nothing had happened to the item. Nothing had happened as well to other spoons and forks which were on the table near Uri during all presentation though strong psychokinetic power would certainly influence on all metal objects around him. I have touched the spoon after - it was cold and not bending any more.
Second time when I have watched spoon bending I felt an easy trance. As far as I know Uri is a hypnotist so it was not a problem for him to produce the effect, but it means nothing yet.
So I don't think that Uri's bending spoons is a real phenomenon. Most time it could be just a trick though I admit that Uri could have and use sometimes a real psychokinetic power which is not very strong.
I also believe that he can read thoughts. I looked at him thinking:"Uri! Look at me!" - and he did this.
In fact I was much more impressed by Uri's paintings. They were really beautiful and close to professional. I believe Uri could become a great artist. Of course it was necessary to study and work hard for some years. But in his youth Uri wanted just fast fame and money and as a result became Uri Geller which half of the world consider to be a phenomenon, another half - a charlatan though in reality he is just a gifted person which didn't realize yet most of his talents.

Who is Uri Geller? Numerology report
Date of birth: 20/12/1946
You have a Life Path 7.
The route of thinkers and independent people.
It corresponds to an internally rich life, nearly solitary. This path will be the place to work with the mind and to have a certain taste for perfection. On this path, whatever your profession or education level, you will be pushed to reach a better understanding of yourself (introspection, ability to change your mind or call things into question, sometimes black thoughts) and the world around you. The outstanding events of this path will have more echo in your inner life (or will happen mostly in your own mind). Your itinerary will be symbolised by the taste for independence and sometimes solitude despite appearances ! It is often characterised by an original destiny with relatively easy success (things come to you) and a little bit disinterested with down-to-earth aspects. Friendships will have a great source of satisfaction, but marriage is not always easy especially if you are introverted.
You will regularly be confronted by events that will push you to question yourself, to look at your values. The duality and appearances will mark the situations of your life justly for you to develop your power of judgement and your perspicacity. You will be pushed to penetrate the heart of events to understand them better and master them little by little. These can be positive events (great success, luck) or negative (loss of a dear friend, a series of love breakdowns, injustices, the collapse of an ideal). These situations will sometimes be arduous, there will be periods of doubt and hope which incite you to turn inwards or sometimes to rebel against society. But don't cut yourself off from the outside world. On the contrary, use your intelligence and your knowledge to succeed in the outside world. Cultivate balance. Level-headedness, the interest for those around you, a certain form of detachment and interior calm will be useful on this path.
Famous people with a Life Path 7 :
Marilyn Monroe, Lady Diana, Roger Moore, Gerard Depardieu, Paul Newman, John F. Kennedy, Herbert Von Karajan, Marcel Proust (famous French writer).
By Pifagor, Uri Geller has 2222 - the number means a strong psychic, energy donor, with a big reservoir of bioenergy.
111 - means outgoingness, flexibility.
Health (4), intuition (5), talents (7), intellect (9) are average.

Intrique
I have got one great idea for The Next Uri Geller!
This idea can work for a second or a third season of the show when public already begins to be bored.
I offer to intrique viewers!
To mix real maguses, mentalists and (not well-known, of course)
illusionists, and make viewers guess what they see: a trick, mental
magic or a real miracle. They will call and write to studio to give an
answer and will get prizes for correct answers. Every time a host will
explain which of previous acts were tricks, reveal and show how they
were made.
It is also possible that one contestant rotates real miracles which he
can do with tricks, and viewers must guess.
Realization of the idea will increase interest to the show and ratings.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller Finale March 6
Amazing, memorable perfomance which made me cry. Everything was excellent.
Charming Tooske and cheerful Uri which were involved into the best acts, fascinating mentalists and of course Patty.
Awesome Mask revealing. Great finale of great show.
Yelle is a winner. De Nieuwe Uri Geller.
I am very happy - Yelle & Ghani were my favourite since the very beginning (why recently they didn't mention Ghani? The couple won, not just Yelle).
Yelle is a young, very pretty girl, and all her acts were beautiful, with lovely music.
At the same time The Mask impressed me very much during finale, with a great act ("Precious objects") and with impressive revealing.
So it was Hayashi! He deserved victory too.
The act where he involved Patty, Tooske and Uri was fantastic. Tooske screamed and rebounded so prettily, and Uri it seems was ready to hide under table together with Patty when The Mask came close with a hammer to crash the box.:)
I also liked both Vincent's acts. The first (Blood Transfusion) where he tasted blood and guessed which is it, even group and rhesus) was a little drawn.
Second act was really funny because Uri proved to be a "vampire" with glowing hands who "touched" Patty. Uri smiled and said:"If I did anything it was out of body experience".
Yelle & Ghani's acts were romantic and beautiful though during the first ("Melting ice") where she was melting ice mentally I didn't like smoke from her hands - it made me think maybe she uses chemistry and it is just a trick. Though I believe Yelle is a real mentalist. And in the end she is the first female "Uri Geller"!
Act 1 Yelle & Ghani
Act 2
And I also was happy to learn that ratings of the Dutch show and finale were really high. Hope to see new great shows with Uri Geller!

Jan Becker is the Next Uri Geller!
I am a little upset. Of course Jan Becker is a strong mentalist but I liked Ully Loup more... His act with electricity in final was not bad.
Just hope that Dutch show will not disappoint me with results.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller February 27
Dutch show. Semi-Final.
Good.
It seems Tooske has found her style and looked very nice. I don't know how I will live without her?:)
Most of all I liked 2 acts - Jochem ("Animal Farm", with a farmer, his "wife" and a lamb № 14 Scott Dennis) and Yelle & Ghani - Water & Whispers (whisper into glass and watertank).
The both acts were original, beautiful, memorable.
Jochem's act was also funny and I even have no ideas how it could be done, it's a mystery for me. Jochem returned my sympathy but... went out.
As for Yelle's there could be a mic in a neck of the glass. Or she just hears very well.
Reinder's act with knives - I liked it not too much because don't believe in the bandages. I suppose he could see everything.
The Mask - it was not interesting for me to watch the paper cylinders again, I only enjoyed the very end of the act when the blonde woman went to help Patty and risked her hand. It was movingly.
Vincent - Well, I liked his new grey-haired look, white dresses and eye-catching appearance in a hearse. As for the act it reminded me doctor Victor's acts with the assays. But I would really prefer doctor Victor.
Uri's act with moving tables. Not bad, I liked the moment when the table was canted.
The finalists are:
Yelle & Ghani
The Mask
Vincent
Well, I am not surprised. I could predict the results in the very beginning, not because I am a mentalist, but all of the finalists are most charismatic and bright.
But I would prefer to see Jochem or doctor Victor instead of Vincent in the final.

The Next Uri Geller February 24
German show - semi final.
Not bad. Most of all I liked act of Manuel Horeth - "Filmexperiment". Manuel looked great in his costume and so confident, charming, a real film director.:) And the act was excellent. I liked fantastic background with a rolling film and happy shouts of audience in the end. I don't know how the act could be done - was it hypnosis or something else, I can't explain it. Did he really influence people, predicted their answers, or was it miracle of enginery?
Ully Loup - Out of body (sculpture).
It seems his out-of-body trip was not successful as Ully couldn't immediately say what is it and model the car which the girl (Alexandra) had chosen and put into the black box. :) And he had to read her mind or something like this.
I liked her walk and how they showed it in the meantime with Ully's face.
As for other acts I didn't like them much.
Jan Becker read mind of Alex and wrote a poem. It was a little boring, he made mistakes, some detailes were irrelevant. Though maybe he really read her mind? I was more surprised and impressed by Uri's reaction, he looked shocked. I wonder why? Even if all this was true the act didn't shock me.
Jan Rouven - Burning Man. (4 canisters, 3 with easily flammable gasoline, 1 with water, 3 scarecrows and Jan which are poured by celebs.)
I have seen already something like this in Dutch show, it was boring to watch it again, especially because there were almost no action, no stress, just a lot of talks. Alexandra looked disinterested too. I understand why Jan is out. I expected more from him.
Hope that Ully Loup or Manuel will win next week.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller February 20
Dutch show. Nice.
Though there were no act which would make me cry or scream. Only one which made smile - it was Victor's act. Sorry that he is out.
Tooske was very beautiful, and Uri looked well, I especially liked his laugh. Usually he is too serious and at first I even thought he doesn't have a sense of humour.
Most of all I liked Doctor Victor's act which made a fat Patty do physical exercises, tests and predicted results. It was really funny, especially the exercises with a red ball.:)
Reinder - Spiritual mind joining - act with coloured sand, Ferry and Belle. Ferry made a wish what Belly should do - sit on his lap, say "You're nice" and kiss him. And Reinder put this wish into her head. Good act, sand and music were beautiful. And it really worked.
The Mask - Bed of Death (falling swords).
I have seen this act in German show but still liked this one. Good idea with a shield which Uri offered to the girl to protect her. Cool game with masks in the beginning. And it was a great incident when some people run to the stage to unmask the performer.:)
Vincent Vampire - Newborn, he guessed a sign burnt on his head.
I really enjoyed the beginning when Uri gave Vincent garlic to check if he is a real vampire or not.:) And put the garlic near on the table. But I suppose Uri should take the garlic away after Vincent's act or he was afraid that other contestants could be vampires too?:)))
As for Vincent's act I didn't like it much. The dirt on his eyes, all the self-tortures... I felt most part just pity to the performer.
Jochem - Carnival
Act with confetti. He asked celebrities to draw a carnival's symbol, grind up the paper, and in the end of the act the symbol was figured on the floor. The idea was not bad but there were not enough scenery to create an atmosphere and mood of carnival. Maybe some dancers in masks would help... It is strange because Jochem's scenery was excellent before. Here stage looked almost empty, just too much paper falling from above, and as Uri said it was necessary to clean the stage after the act.:)
Ghani & Yelle
I like the couple but not this time. At first Yelle didn't think about her hairstyle, dress, make-up. And all the arrows which the poor girl had to catch... Besides this it was too dark on the stage. The act could be not bad if she would deflect the arrows by her mental power instead of catching them. Uri gave them immunity - ok, maybe next time they will show something more interesting and exciting. Audience really adore them.

The Next Uri Geller February 17
German show.
Not bad though can't say that I am much impressed. It's already difficult to amaze or shock me.
Most of all I liked Ully Loup with a crystal ball. Ully was great like usual, the act was beautiful, and I especially enjoyed the camera's round.
Jan Rouven - "Nervenprobe" - act with paper cylinders and knives. I have seen the act before but it was not bad. Nasty Jan made a man - celebrity risk his hand:)
Manuel Horeth - who wanted to "prove that fear weighs heavy". Act with Vanessa and a spider.
Jan Becker - Psychometrie - he was going "to sense the energetic trace of fingerprints" - asked celebrities to give him rings, other small items and told something about them.
Waayatan - shaman, act with fire and runes. Celebrity had chosen a rune and he figured it by fire. Well, nice, beautiful, not more. He is out.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller February 13
Dutch show in the mystical date - Friday, 13
Well, not bad, though in general it became a little boring for me. Maybe just for me because as far as I know ratings yesterday were good.
Tooske was nice, I like her dresses with open arms.
As for the acts, most of all I was impressed by Victor - "doctor Victor" which could "read" forethought words by heartbeating, breathing, eyes, etc. I really liked his sick-room and a big screen with eye. It seems to me I understood the moment with eyes - when Eliza said 2 first words she winkled 2 times, when the word "noodlot" - 1, so he could understand it by this change and maybe there was change of her pupil as well.
Eliza is very beautiful girl and I liked camera work, her close up.
Uri said: "Very well done, quite unusual, it didn't blow me away but it was fascinating to me. Good job, doctor". I can say the same. Victor is my new favourite of the show. He is very handsome and charismatic.
Jochem didn't impress me much this time, I absolutely agree with Uri again that something was missing, and the act was not very interesting. Though it looked very beautiful and romantic in the beginning - a date with a pretty girl which he was going to "seduce" at Valentine's Day with candles, her favourite music, drinks, etc. But all the things after ("heartlets" with worms, fire, ice) didn't look essential for the date and obviously couldn't help Jochem to seduce the girl.:)
Michel - "mental detective" showed not bad act - again work with a "witness" which guessed detailes of crime (steal of purse). The act was nice but to show the same again and again - it really becomes boring, and I am glad that Michel is out.
The Mask
I don't believe that Uri Geller did this again - he stopped the act which looked "deadly"!
Uri, what are you doing???!!! When you visit circus you also stop perfomance there? Or these 2 guys (Jan Rouven in German show and The Mask in Dutch) didn't prepare acts and you covered them? And why have you invited Hayashi which showed really dangerous and deadly act with swords and cucumberes???!!! Why didnt' you stop him? It seems to me that Bety's hand was hurted! And obviously she was very scared.
Some words about Hayashi - in the end, I understood where Fugu took "samurai"'s image. Not bad, but can't say that I was much impressed.
Uri Geller's Act
- he sent audience telepathic message with 1 item of 5 which represent Holland. Very good, beautiful act and I even cried that I was right! Yes, windmill! But later I began to think how I got the image, I understood that it was a windmill at the moment when Uri was painting it, BEFORE he sent the mental message. So it could be intuition, not telepathy. As for audience, they could simply guess. I hope next time the task will be more complex.
Well, not bad, though in general it became a little boring for me. Maybe just for me because as far as I know ratings yesterday were good.
Tooske was nice, I like her dresses with open arms.
As for the acts, most of all I was impressed by Victor - "doctor Victor" which could "read" forethought words by heartbeating, breathing, eyes, etc. I really liked his sick-room and a big screen with eye. It seems to me I understood the moment with eyes - when Eliza said 2 first words she winkled 2 times, when the word "noodlot" - 1, so he could understand it by this change and maybe there was change of her pupil as well.
Eliza is very beautiful girl and I liked camera work, her close up.
Uri said: "Very well done, quite unusual, it didn't blow me away but it was fascinating to me. Good job, doctor". I can say the same. Victor is my new favourite of the show. He is very handsome and charismatic.
Jochem didn't impress me much this time, I absolutely agree with Uri again that something was missing, and the act was not very interesting. Though it looked very beautiful and romantic in the beginning - a date with a pretty girl which he was going to "seduce" at Valentine's Day with candles, her favourite music, drinks, etc. But all the things after ("heartlets" with worms, fire, ice) didn't look essential for the date and obviously couldn't help Jochem to seduce the girl.:)
Michel - "mental detective" showed not bad act - again work with a "witness" which guessed detailes of crime (steal of purse). The act was nice but to show the same again and again - it really becomes boring, and I am glad that Michel is out.
The Mask
I don't believe that Uri Geller did this again - he stopped the act which looked "deadly"!
Uri, what are you doing???!!! When you visit circus you also stop perfomance there? Or these 2 guys (Jan Rouven in German show and The Mask in Dutch) didn't prepare acts and you covered them? And why have you invited Hayashi which showed really dangerous and deadly act with swords and cucumberes???!!! Why didnt' you stop him? It seems to me that Bety's hand was hurted! And obviously she was very scared.
Some words about Hayashi - in the end, I understood where Fugu took "samurai"'s image. Not bad, but can't say that I was much impressed.
Uri Geller's Act
- he sent audience telepathic message with 1 item of 5 which represent Holland. Very good, beautiful act and I even cried that I was right! Yes, windmill! But later I began to think how I got the image, I understood that it was a windmill at the moment when Uri was painting it, BEFORE he sent the mental message. So it could be intuition, not telepathy. As for audience, they could simply guess. I hope next time the task will be more complex.

The Next Uri Geller February 10
German show. Very nice.
I enjoyed most acts.
The best, to my mind, was Waayatan - "King of Shadows" who guessed by shadow what weapon a person keeps (knife, revolver, ax, etc.) The act was impressive in spite of mistakes - staging, music, and the mentalist looked great.
Second good act - Daniel & Gabriel
"Mentales Rendevous"
It was about the same perfomance like Jochem's in a Dutch show but new creative ideas (with photos and especially twins) made it still interesting for me.
Jan Becker which had found in audience a person with a photo was also strong. And I liked all people in masks. It was original.
As for acts which I liked not so much,
Ully Loup was great like usual with his big eyes but I didn't like the small items.
Manuel Horeth
"Rockband" (act with CDs)
It's a pity I didn't hear the music in the end. And it would be nice to add more dynamism. A little boring.
Jan Rouven
"Burning Ropes"
He was going to show something dangerous and interesting, but Uri... stopped the act. Still don't believe that it could happen. Maybe Uri was right, I don't know, but I am sorry about Jan because for me he was one of the best and I expected him to win the show...
Ok, he stays, Daniel & Gabriel are out. Hope next time Jan will show something great.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller February 6
Dutch show. Cool.
A lot of new, original, creative ideas.
Tooske was glorious. Great hairstyle and dress.
All acts were not bad though some needed more work.
Reinder - water tank with piranhas. I liked the short movie about the lovely fish.:)Though in reality they looked not so dangerous and impressive. Maybe Reinder should dive into the tank to find and take something from bottom by hand - for example, a shell with a pearl or a golden ring.
Vincent Doll Voodoo.
I liked beginning of the act with Vincent's singing and the ceremonial. It was beautiful and showy. But later the act became more boring, and even manipulation with a doll were not interesting and stressful enough.
Yelle & Ghani
An umbrella and water in the bottle. Good act. Very impressive appearance with the umbrella.
Robert
Nails and gloves. This act affected me most of all. I liked his scream.:)And the nail in a nose. It seems all this was real.
Rob & Emiel
I didn't like the artists but the act with oakum and especially "reading" a number of 50 euro note on distance were not bad.
Uri
I really enjoyed his act with a photo of Paris. Though I am sorry that didn't get the name of the city and the image. Maybe I need more practice or a personal training.:)Hope he will show acts like this more often.
I also liked when he broke a glass and run away in the end when learned that Vincent stays in the show.:)

The Next Uri Geller February 3
German show.
Not bad.
Though I was impressed more by charisma of celebrities - 2 pretty blondes and an old imposing man - than by contestants (except Amila). But I liked all acts.
Waayatan - "dangerous path". I have watched this act before but liked this version more. At first - jolly blondes which set barriers. Music (drum) was very good and together with fires created an aura of something wild and primal. Though I suppose he could watch everything from under bandage, so at first I didn't worry but when he had to step scorpions... yes, it was something special.
Daniel and Gabriel - painting at 2 boards. In the beginning I thought maybe they have a code signal, and one informes another about a shape which a girl drew so it could be not telepathy at all. But last task (the sun with clouds and rain) was more complex, and I am not sure how they did this. I liked his hesitation even if it was acting.
Manuel Horeth - act with a girl on a chair and a book with flowers. I didn't understand exactly what it was about but the girl, the book and flowers were very nice.:)
Amila
Child's game - "Guess what hand?". But Amila is so charming that it was affecting. In spite of her mistakes in the end. Amila's image is so sexy that makes me think maybe she really danced stripping in her youth? Though I can't call her a good mentalist and don't think she could be "the next Uri Geller" but she obviously adorned the show. Amila is out. Ok, it was her time.

The Best of The Next
I have an idea - it would be great to release the best acts from all The next Uri Geller shows on DVD! I mean an "international edition" with best acts from all Uri's shows (Phenomenon, Successor, The next Uri Geller) including Dutch, American and Israeli acts, with translation into English and with this promo trailer in the beginning (directed by Adam Sanderson.)
Maybe some DVDs.
I'd be love to have them.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller January 30
Dutch show. Nice.
I have chosen my favourite - it's Jochem! Though not sure if he will win the show as he has a so strong opponent as The Mask.
Uri was great, in the end looked vigorous, happy and even young. I understand that he has to go to the shows irrespective of mood and form. But I don't like when he looks like a corpse. Maybe he should wear a mask in such cases? It'd be something special!:)))
Tooske - ohh, charming girl, I adore her. It seems she likes experiments with her appearance. Dress was interesting. Hope next time she will invent something new.
As for acts, most of all I was impressed by Jochem - "synchronism" in 2 "rooms" - Jochem repeats everything what a person in another room is doing - dresses, burns up a candle, pours out drink, etc. If he is a real mentalist it is amazing and he must be a genius! If not I enjoy his staging and fantasy. They are perfect.
Winfried and Angelique - "water tank".
In the beginning Uri said that doesn't want dangerous acts in his show. I don't like to hear this again and again because the show will be boring without danger!
Music and aqua blue background were great. In comparison with sexy Amila Angelique looked not so great, she didn't even think about hairstyle and make-up. And Amila's acting was more impressive. But there was much more dynamism in their perfomance as several assistants run around auditory and "save" brother and sister. In the end I even cried. Not bad act, it's a pity they are already out.
Michel - he showed accelerated movie to 4 celebrities, after this hypnotized them and asked questions, put down and checked their answers. He would be good in police or court at work with witnesses (ih he already doesn't work there). I liked the act but wouldn't like to be hypnotized by Michel - his methods are too rude.:) Uri gave him immunity.
The Mask
It's a pity he decided not to talk with his voice, he lost a lot of charm. The voice was great.
Entourage, classical music and especially the chandelier reminded me Phantom of the Opera. Beautiful tables, cloths, candles which he ruined. But most of all I liked Uri's phrase in the end:"If you are really my wife, I want to seriously talk after the show".:)))
Vincent-Vampire
He put a girl dressed in white to the table, splashed her with blood and made his assistant bite her. Not bad act and I especially enjoyed reaction of Uri which turned and even run away, and reaction of audience - many closed their mouth by hands. Nobody stayed indifferent.
Uri's Act - "talk to dead" (spirit session with a glass). Not bad though not sure if it was really a talk to dead.:)

Never watch Uri Geller on QVC!!!
For those who doesn't know yet that Uri Geller designs jewellery - never visit the site http://www.qvcuk.com/ and never watch Uri presenting his jewellery live on QVC! I risked to do it once and still regret. The things are too beautiful, they blind. I have seen gold rock crystal and felt I wish it, I have seen a watch and understood I want everything... :) after this I stopped to watch because it was too dangerous.:)))

The Next Uri Geller January 27
German show.
Not bad.
All contestants were great, very bright and charismatic. Only Uri looked not very well, like on funeral.:) Not sure was he tired, sick or something really had happened.
Most of all I liked risky act of Jan Rouven with falling swords. Though it was too dragged out (he explained too long to the girl what she should do). Jan's image was awesome, he reminded me Dima Bilan, our pop star, the winner of Eurovision 2008. It's a pity camera's work was not very good here, it was difficult to see the swords. It was necessary to shoot Jan from above + falling swords from below + give the swords close up + repeat like they falling slowly.
Danny Ocean - I was not much impressed by the act with matches and pendulum because have seen it before. Though it was not bad, Danny did everything right, and audience was happy to see him.
Ully Loup - I liked Ully but not his act, I would prefer something more risky or complex from him.
Amila - she was great in the red dress and I enjoyed her acting - she looked at the tank so fatefully like really believed she will sink there soon.:) And music was very proper too. In the end her "concentration" worked but there were no big difference with previous time.:) I also didn't like that the tank was already filled with water when she got into it and that water took rise so fast, it makes the act too short and not stressful enough. I'd like to enjoy this pleasure longer.:)
Danny Ocean was out. It's a pity... a little. I liked his act with forks.
Not bad.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller January 23
Dutch show again.
This one I enjoyed not so much like previous - of course it was not bad and still interesting. I mean there were no acts which would really amaze me and I can't call any contestant to be my favourite. Though most of all I liked Robert and Victor.
I liked when they showed newspapers' articles about show and funny video with a cat which is a copy of mine.:) And when Uri told about Vincent-Vampire and hundreds of viewers which protect him.:) I think it is true. All this proves the show has success in both countries.
Now, about the acts.
Robert
Last time he showed an act with a fire and this time fire again. 6 boxes in one of which a man hides. Bones were original supplement. Quite impressive.
Peter & Ronald
I didn't like the act. Not the "moo" (it seems they vocalaized mantra but it sounded too funny). Not Rebekka, a fat woman which assisted them. Though she sang well but couldn't they find a pretty young girl for the act. Glad they left the show.
Reinder
Last time he walked on his hands through glasses. This time again something like this, not sure, was it a coal or what. In any case I liked the act not very much. It was too short and too hard and painful for him. This obviously was not a demonstration of paranormal abilities. If he would dance there for 2 minutes and would smile and joke after it, maybe...
Victor
Healer (last time). This time a "medical act" again. One of the best during this show. Not sure if it really was out-of-body experience (he could just read mind of the girl about things in the box) but it looked great. The injection. How he was laying and how they showed it. The digits on the screen. The woman with a water. Everything looked great, the act was dramatic and beautiful. Nothing needless.
Yelle & Ghani
Psychokinesis. Feather on the hand. Not bad, but I waited more from them... Beautiful music. I liked very much the frizzly celebrity girl, she reminded me Sigourney Weaver.
Now, some words about comperes.
Tooske
I'd advise her to change dress and not to use this hairstyle - ears stick out.:)
Uri
He looked a little tired today, it immediately takes toll on the face. Obviously needs a better visagiste before every show + visit to a beauty doctor. Good creams every day, maybe injection of botox can make real miracles.
His act with compass was not new but good. I felt a strong energy from the screen. It was very tasty.:)

The next Uri Geller January 20
The German show became much better, more dynamic and comprehensible. I liked all acts.
As for contestants most of all I liked Aaron Crow - really charismatic. Great costume.
I enjoyed his act with an apple, arrow and a ring. Very beautiful, nothing needless.
Besides Aaron I want to mention Gabriel and Daniel.
The act was simple but very nice. I know that these things really exist. Not long time ago I played myself in metro like this making passangers move their hands.:))) Background with faces was also very good.
Manuel Horeth - not original act with a phone book but well done.
Amila - Near drowning in a water tank.
She had to guess a four-figure code which would enable her to get out. But she could only get two of the numbers right – not enough to open the lock.
As the clock ticked down, she thrashed around and was completely under the water for about 25 seconds.
Millions of viewers saw an assistant rush onstage with bolt cutters to snap open the chains that kept Amila captive.
Amila was voted and got through to the next round of show despite her evident failure to perform the trick.
Very nice - I just have written some days ago about escape from a water tank and that the show needs incidents - and here they are - an incident with a water tank. It seems my thoughts materialize with the velocity of light.:)
Waayatan - Shadow Connection.
"Oscar" for entourage. Very beautiful screen with shadows, fire, background, red costume.

Act The Mask
It seems there was something special in this act as I still can't get it out of my head. I think was it possible to make it better? Maybe to take not the figurine (or another one) but, for example, a beautiful vase? And of course the Mask should at first tell a story of this thing BEFORE putting it into the box, at first make the woman and viewers cry. It this case he could break not just a thing but happy memories, and viewers would feel with it. And in the end of the act he could tell the woman some phrases about her future.

Youtube, image
It is possible to judge by Youtube which acts had success - not all videos, just some - the best - appear there after show and get a lot of views.
As for last Dutch show, there are 2 - The Mask and Vincent-Vampire. Because they both have bright images, of course. Not new, original, but it still works.
And it also proves that a good artist without a good image - is not an artist yet.

Some ideas for show
I thought what is not great in all these risky acts that they always have "happy-end". You know that all will be ok in the end and worry not too much. It'd be nice to add other scripts for variety.
1. "It seems something had happened"
For example, a contestant shoots into boxes in one of which a person hides. 1 box, 2 box... when he shoots into the 3 box we hear an awful, heart-rending scream! Contestant (and maybe his assistant) run to the box, open it... but the box is empty! They open last box and see a person is there, he is alive and ok. Who did scream? It stays a mystery...
2. "Accident"
- During risky act assistant (or contestant) was injured, a lot of blood, but he (she) insists that he (she) is ok and wishes to finish the act.
- Assistant loses consciousness on the stage
- Contestant makes a "mistake" during perfomance and it seems really dies... a big alarm, doctors run to the the stage, try to help or just take him away. After some minutes of commotion... contestant suddenly appears on the stage from fire, fog, air, ground, water, etc.
3. "I will save you!"
2 girls-celebrities (friends or sisters) come to the show. One of them was invited to the stage to take part in a risky act. At the most stressful moment her friend runs to the stage and cries:"I will not let you take part in this! Let's go!" - and pulles her friend by hand out from the stage. Contestant-mentalist uses hypnosis to stop the girl and makes her stand on the stage in an interesting pose till the end of act.
I also think it'd be good from time to time (not often) to involve Uri Geller into the perfomance. For example, contestants can show him something, or let touch something from their properties, or give him to keep a thing, a sheet, or even try to kill him (without real risk, of course).

Contestant-mentalist uses hypnosis to stop the girl and makes her stand on the stage in an interesting pose till the end of act.
I also think it'd be good from time to time (not often) to involve Uri Geller into the perfomance. For example, contestants can show him something, or let touch something from their properties, or give him to keep a thing, a sheet, or even try to kill him (without real risk, of course).

De Nieuwe Uri Geller 2 January 16
This show impressed me even more then previous though I didn't think it is possible. Really great.
Uri was in the groove,and it was pleasant to look at him. The girl - compere did her best too.
Music which accompanied show - breath-taking!!! It would be possible not to watch show at all, just close eyes, listen and enjoy the music...:)
I also enjoyed that during the act of Mask they spoke English. If they would add English titles to the video on the site it would be absolutely great. Though even without it I understand most part of the perfomance.
All acts were exciting and dramatic.
Especially I liked Jochem - "barman-telepath". He made a really bright perfomance with 2 girls and coctails! How he juggled with a cheerful music!
So beautiful, original perfomance!
I liked Winfried and Angelique, brother and sister's act with a box. It was dangerous, though a little dragged out, there was a moment when tension began to fall.
Vincent - Vampire. Nice guy. Uri (I am not sure did he play or not) called his act disgusting and said that vampires don't exist. But I think such personage is necessary for this kind of show! His image, properties, plangent voice were great! Though I can't say the same about the act because I had a feeling that all detailes were good but they didn't become one whole.
Other acts I liked not so much.
Michel (bald hypnotist). At first I didn't like his attitude to a girl which he grabbed by hair. And his properties on the table also didn't look well.
Manro - a man who tried to hang himself jumping to boxes but failed. In the end of the act I had a big desire to hang him myself!:))) And was very upset that he stayed alive.:))) But glad that he left the show.
The Mask - absolutely great image, voice, behaviour on the stage! But I was waiting from him something more exciting, dangerous or frightening. It was difficult to worry about the statue in the box.:))) And the boxes didn't look well too. Though the act was good.
In any case, the show was fantastic.
