Der Autor über sein Buch
In spite of the evidence, some folks still believe in Geller
Though my book certainly casts serious doubt on the validity of Uri Geller's claims, there are still some folks out there who accept that he can do real magic. It's astonishing to me that for some people, evidence just gets in the way of fond delusions. But the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus are still popular...

I have seen both James Randi and Uri Geller in action. Where they do the same tricks, only Randi has the personal integrity to tell the truth. Geller would have us believe he is related to Freud, that he has the power to bend metal.... If Geller is so needy, and really psychic, why won't he allow himself to be tested under scientific conditions? Randi has a million dollar prize for anyone who can prove psychic ability. Three cheers (and five stars) for Randi's fab. expose! It is highly readable, entertaining, and a healthy dose of sanity in this "new age".

...promotes magical thinking. And Randi is not in need of work ...he has a thriving second career helping people understand how to keep from being flummoxed - which in this day and age is sorely needed. This is vintage skepticism, by a crack charlatan himself (I mean that in a good way). I have hosted a live TV appearance by Randi, and he has made my jaw drop from some of the very same things Geller claims are done by psychic powers. My wonder is in the ability of some to manipulate the perceptions of others. The difference is that James is trying to draw a line which people can use to distinguish the truly marvelous from the merely farcical. Uri should aspire to so much. If he has such powers as he claims - why would he squander them on the wanton destruction of flatware? On it goes, to others' claims of increased crop yields, to telepathy (so go make a fortune at the poker table!)... I would be deliriously happy to find someone who could read my students' minds - it would shave YEARS off the education process alone <grin>. But alas, we are left with wholly unremarkable examples of allegedly earth-shattering powers. And it makes people think that magic will change or save them. It is magical thinking that degrades individuals' trust in their own true abilities, and it was magical thinking (unabashed finger-crossing) that killed seven brave astronauts in 1986. Enough is enough, Bravo Randi - and touche' Geller. Read it, then decide. *JP*

Well... I read it. Though not a literary masterpiece it made a lot of sense, but dispite the book and remembering watching the television set many years ago with my spoon and broken watch which was futile, there's still the imaginative part of me that wants to believe in Uri's magic. Yet the logical part of my brain has to go with the book and agree. I've gone on an official looking Uri website and discovered it's main purpose is to gain a few buck from sponsors. So my fantasizing has been shattered. My conclusion is to believe in the book. I have never received convincing evidence or proof from the books "subject matter".

langatmig ...
der Titel verspricht eine Lösung aller Geheimnisse hinter Uri Gellers Tricks. Tatsächlich zieht sich die Story seitenweise über Nebensächlichkeiten hin.

Someone please answer my questions!
I am new to this Randi vs. Geller thing, so I have a lot of questions. I thought that Randi proved Geller was a fraud already, but after reading all the scientific papers and the... Lesen Sie weiter...
