If social media existed back then they yeah, that would have been the end of Uri's career. But since it didn't, that Carson episode was quickly forgotten.
Difference between a true magician and a conman is that the magician makes it clear that what he is doing is merely sophisticated trickery to deceive the senses of the audience for the purposes of entertainment (even if he doesn’t reveal the exact mechanism behind his tricks), where as a conman not only deceives the eyes his audience but also lies and seeks to intellectually deceive them (into believing something suitable to his/her agenda).
Busted! Uri Geller has always seemed a bit shadey, anyone who never gives a direct answer to anything should really be handled with the utmost suspicion.
They're not simply stupid, they simply are gullible and lack critical thinking skills. Even you and me could be tricked sometimes. Remember, these are professional scammers who know all kinds of tricks, working on this for years
I read the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and I read Superself the Hidden Powers Withiin Us by Ian Wilson... it changed my life ESP (anomalous cognition) is real, PK is real.(matter is energy mind is energy the connection is thought energy) .. I had success with the dice, horses and cards(ESP) . it is WITH OUT CONSCIOUS EFFORT. a "small inner voice".. I had involuntarily OBE 's... I spoke to James Randi once and him and other debunkers are ignorant of human latent abilities.. RIP James Randi🙏
I'd say today is even worse. We have a whole new generation of females who believe in witchcraft and bullshit crystals and manifesting wealth lol. This generation is even dumber than that of the 80s.
I loved james randi RIP and so many ppl view his demeanor as trying to ruin the fun of things but they dont care about the facts and want to believe what they want to believe and hes not being an @sshole hes debunking blatant lies
I think the reason Uri's career wasn't destroyed that night on the Carson show, was because many viewers wanted to believe Uri did have superpowers. And so then framed the fact that because Uri didn't display them that night, because Uri was being pressured, he was legit. Without understanding the preparation neccessary to perform magic tricks, they justified his failure to perform as proof of him being legitimate. Because, they thought, if he was relying on tricks he would have been able to perform. I do believe however that real "magic" is possible by some people, but not Uri Geller. BTW, I was sucked in, I still have a Uri Geller Kit I bought back then with a crystal that has been "personally empowered" by him.
It is hard to overcome biases. This is why many still believe Dr. Fauci and think Biden is doing a good job. Humans, in my opinion, are pack animals, which means they have a tendency to follow "alphas and experts." To discredit their "alpha" is to leave them feeling naked and vulnerable. Randi started out as a magician (a fraud), and in my opinion, still is.
@@FlyManChimeraOf course magic does not exist because it is brought to us by magicians who readily admit that they are tricking you. But ask Randi to comment on the likeliness that UFO's, Sasquatch, ghosts, God, the afterlife or NDE's are real. He will answer just like that blockhead Neil DeGrass Tyson would answer and say all of that stuff is fake as well. My point is that Randy is catering to a crowd that religiously follow so called experts or scientists and doubt everything else. Take him off the subject of Uri Geller and you'd find out how unwise (stupid) he really is. Even the masters, Penn and Teller, would laugh at the UFO phenomenon. I wonder if they are still laughing now after the largest scientific institution in the world, The Pentagon, publicly admitted that they are real? Oh how people like to lead and follow other people.
There has never been any demonstration of "real" magic ever. And sure, there have been things that we don't have an explanation for, but there has never been anything for which the cause was investigated and was demonstrated to be "magic".
@@ssjcosty Your comment goes far beyond Randy and Geller. You use the word "investigate." Well, do you believe that UFO's or Sasquatch have ever been OPENLY investigated by a large, well funded scientific institution? One that has access to all of our govt findings. Randy's cynicism goes far beyond Geller when he starts by saying "magical thinking is a slippery slope." Why does he say it is "dangerous" to believe in a fake like Geller? Because there are a slough of other topics that he believes are fake as well...without ever "investigating." And there is a group of followers that will look at Randy like an expert on all that is fake.
That’s about all there is to it. In one video I saw, he bent the key with his hands right in front of everyone, and then he did the ratcheting thing Randi talked about.
Bull. Where the spoon and the handle connect has been reworked with a metal that is very sensitive to heat which can be accomplished by rubbing your fingers together. Look and when the spoon is separated from the handle there is a tiny puff of smoke.
One question.....If you wanted to live in a "REAL WORLD ".....Or as close as you can get to it .....Why make your living as an illusionist ?.....Dont get me wrong ....I LOVE Randi. ....And his debunking of so called psychics
Also if u are a skep u should know that the skep says:"It may be true but I wont allow it until proven, I strongly believe is fake" and a closed minded says:"no is fake, I dont mind if is proven or not, is just not possible" so analyze urself where are u?
What about this? "I wont tolerate negative comments about atheist and I wont tolerate negative comments about supernatural" Sounds more fair dont ya think? Or is that the atheist and skeps can tell us we aaour beliefs are bullshit and we cant? is better to have mutual respecct dont ya think?. Also instead of telling "about our ridiculous delusions" why dont ya say "about your non scientific beliefs?" or hace u already proven is ALL a lie to assure it that way?.
James Randi only debunked the things Uri did publicly. Fact of the matter, when the CIA released the info on the remote viewing programs, turns out Uri was a remote Viewer for the CIA. James Randi was probably a paid Schill.
Or you know, the more reasonable explanation is that the CIA (specifically some decision maker from the CIA) was fooled by Uri Geller too. Most people used to believe, and still believe, in the supernatural, yet the supernatural has never been demonstrated to exist.
@@evad520 Have you demonstrated the supernatural to exist? Do you know anyone who has? Because that would be a monumental Nobel Prize worthy discovery. Yes, there are a lot of people and books that claim all sorts of supernatural events happen, but they’ve never been able to demonstrate anything of the sort under scientific conditions. But there sure are all sorts of conmen and charlatans who time and time again fool gullible folks who lack a skeptical mindset.
Lmfao. Dude Uri was a fraud, get over it. That generation was extremely gullible when it came to supernatural explanations, and it’s no shock he was able to fool some of the idiots at the CIA.
If Randy knew how Uri did his "tricks," as he claims, then he should freeze frame his act and show us where the slight-of-hand took place. Instead he babbles.
@@Mojotasticification This topic goes beyond whether Uri Geller is fake or real. What Randy implies is that all telekinesis is fake, along with other mysteries like UFO's, Sasquatch and contacting the spirit realm. If he wants us to believe that nobody has ever contacted the dead, laid eyes on an actual metal disk in the sky or a large, hairy biped in the forest, I'd like to hear him say it. Instead he implies it by bashing obvious fakes. IMO, Randy is as much of a fake as Uri. He, Michael Shermer and others like them want to control what we believe, but they lack common sense. Who would you consider is correct, an Aeronautical Engineer and F-18 pilot who flies off an aircraft carrier who has seen countless UFO's fly around his aircraft, validated by sophisticated radar, or a debunker like Randy or Michael? These "expert" quacks have a fan base that will alway follow them, so they never have to change their tune.
@@martyjohnson4111 Demeaning a person does not bolster your position. Instead, try responding to the video or the substance or mine or Jeff's comments above.
@@brianmueller7913 well, freeze framing can be difficult or impossible if the camera did not focus on the right spot at the right time. But I’m sure Randi could have done precisely that if it was important. This is just an 8 minute video. Randi replicated several of Gellers tricks, which is pretty much as good as it gets.
Uri: “I can bend it using only my mind.”
Also Uri: holds spoon with hand.
Uri: “I can bend it using only my mind -- LOOK OVER THERE, IT'S ELVIS.”
If social media existed back then they yeah, that would have been the end of Uri's career. But since it didn't, that Carson episode was quickly forgotten.
I doubt that very much. Social media have been an enormous boost for, say, people who believe that the Earth is flat.
Geller is touching the spoon. Epic fail.
"Bend this, Uri." lol
7:22 my wife when shes not in the mood
Gold 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really hope that randy never dies I've got a lot of respect for randy. I've been a fan of randy for many years.
He died 10/20/20. RIP
he ded already
He’s a bit deaded
he was already ded when you posted this comment my friend
WOW James Randi taught me the spoon bend and a bunch of others OMG 1978

At 04:11, he swapped the key while he reached under the table.

bend this uri!!! lol, i like the way u sais that, tanks for posted
no, people are just stupid. they will believe it. because they want to. so he is quick and uses misdirection. thats it.

Legerdemain or the real thing? One more thing, he has failed to draw the dog though?
Metal fatigue
No you did not fool me james randy with the key trick.
Spoon moulded from gallium
James Randi was such a sweet brutal guy who destroyed charlatans galore.
I do have a paranormal capacity, I can see the subconscious of people.
Wanted to be good looking and a multi millionaire ............at least i got one of my wishes..............
Got to love James ❤️

Does Randi knows how to type?
o_O
I mean, he can, but he does it like those people who does "e-speak".
UM do u even English?
@@GamingIncMasterTrollthats how we used to talk in the old days, this is a fossil comment
3:00 gallium spoon
Uri should have used his Psychic Powers to De-Age James Randi back in the 80's!!! He's always looked old!!!
He's melting the metal with his fingers guys
What about Ted Serios? Is it true that his thoughtographs could"t be duplicated? I want answers!
All his life, Randi was an old man. The rest of us used to be young
randi should not have been alone going after geller
he was doing basic magic and mentalist tricks
I love it! Explain very explainable things, well it was the 80's people belived all sort of stuff. Not as today :-) JFK Jr.
TV evangelists

i know gellar is a fraud, but i don't buy randi's explanation about how he bends key's. there must be a more ingenious way.

As cynical teenagers during the Watergate era, we never fell for this stuff.
And yet, the cynical watergate teenagers consistently fall for Donald Trump’s deceptions.
