Uri Geller, a former Israeli paratrooper and entertainer, can bend metal spoons, coins and keys with his mind through telekinesis. He is also able to accelerate the biological process and make radish seeds sprout within minutes using only his mind. I saw him do this in Dusseldorf, Germany, in 1994. It was rather amazing!

I have invited Uri Geller to our base and witnessed him bend a thick spoon that we provided, in front of dozens of people. What was truly amazing is the fact that the spoon continued to bend after leaving Uri’s hands.
Having been of a skeptical nature, I now believe that the human mind is capable of extraordinary accomplishments.

Uri visited the flight deck today (1^st October1999) on his way to see Michael Jackson in New York. We talked for some time about people’s perception of his remarkable abilities. Although viewed as Mystic or Magician, the co-pilot and I were impressed at his technical knowledge and found his own explanation had a significant scientific bias. He picked up an item of cutlery from a meal tray and within thirty seconds it had bent through 30°. He passed it back and I left it on the tray, where, during the next two minutes it bent a further 60° (as we watched). No one touched it. He also attempted to ‘guess’ a simplistic picture drawn on a piece of paper out of his view. Both of us thought of the picture – and incredibly he reproduced it exactly. Not only was the image correct, but it’s shape was the same size to within a millimetre. When you see this done ‘for real’ – you have to “believe what you see”.

I’ve done more than 10,000 interviews since I started out as a journalist, and I was particularly lucky to have a huge list of significant interviewees over the years, from the Dalai Lama, and Nelson Mandela, to Antonio Banderas, and paranormalist, Uri Geller (still one of my favourites with his spoon-bending and demonstrations of mind-power!).
