I feel quite stirred by Wacko Jacko, says spoon-bender Uri
By Neil Michael

Spoonbender Uri Geller has lent his legendary psychic skills to help out pop star Michael Jackson.

The pair struck up a friendship after being intorduced by Harrod’s boss Mohamed Al Fayed. Jackson was so taken by Geller that he asked him to help out with his new album.

Uri said : “He asked me to draw something for his album. I believe my drawing will appear in the sleeve notes. It was amazing to see him record. I even touched the reels. I energised them. I really hope that this will be the biggest record ever.

“I think he has a gift from God – an incredible projection, an aura around him.”

The two have since sealed their friendship with an exchange of what Geller described as “special gifts”.

He gave Jackson a “stone of peace” from Mount SInai and Jacko gave him a bottle of his own brand cologne.
