does anyone remember uri geller 😅

@helenS That's him!

The lengthy Wikipedia article does not say much about his latest years. However, he is 77 now so may well have retired from active entertainments, even if the TV companies don't think him "relevant" to them now anyway.

@ArishMell He even fooled a team of scientists at a research institute (can't remember which one), indicating you can have a PhD and be a professor, and still fall for the same old bullshit.

@helenS Shows how good he was as a magician!

@helenS
I don’t know if that was Geller. The Amazing Randi was contacted by a government institute to set up controlled test to see if anyone actually displayed any real powers. They ignored all the safeguards he set up, and after two years, the scientists presented a couple of guys they were convinced had ESP. They turned out to be students of Randi himself. And admitted to faking all the test.

@helenS I remember him.

@HoraceGreenley @DocSavage Get a professional magician to investigate a paranormal activity. The often do better than scientists.

@BlueSkyKing The Amazing Randi was great at it
