I bought a book of his that came with a "psychic crystal" when I was 15. I've seen clips of him failing miserably at his own stunts and palming magnets to make compasses move.

But did anyone see him on the finale of Phenomenon? Chris Angel was screwing with him and said he'd pay a million dollars to guess what was in this envelope, and in a roundabout way he kind of did. It's very odd. I've watched a few breakdowns of it whilst high on youtube.

Any thoughts?

Well, he couldn't save Exeter City from relegation.

A fool and a charlatan. James Randi has the measure of him.

He's no fake. Uri's been employed by mining companies for well over 20 years because he can find huge veins of metals in the ground. He makes millions doing it, and he doesn't use any gear. He 'feels' the veins in the ground.

Not a fake. Not crap either. He's a great miner!

A mind reader? Feh.

The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal investigated his mining claims and found that only one mining company (Zanex) had ever paid him, unsurprisingly a sum substantially less than one million dollars.

"A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Awww. You had to ruin my miner rant. :(

I stand corrected. :)

The fraudulent little twat is apparently still good friends with Michael Jackson.

Well, someone has to be, I suppose.

I thought they fell out after Uri tried to organise a Diana-like interview for him the UK and it didn't go to plan.

I saw covert filming of Uri bending spoons behind his back years ago.

Oh, and he killed man...with an uzi.

Really!
