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.
