Uri Geller and the Bending Spoon

Available for over a year

In 1976, a US magazine tested a claim by performer Uri Geller that he could bend metal with his mind. The magazine published his photo on their front cover. Geller then said he would bend any metal objects placed on the cover photo by readers anywhere in the United States. Dina Newman speaks to a friend of Yuri Geller.
