Geller’s response? “I keep my powers mysterious. The cynics and magicians who have come out against me have done a great job worth millions. It has made Uri Geller more mysterious and has created a mystical aura around me.” Let me translate: I’m full of shit, but as long as I don’t admit it, I can still be famous and make money.”
