Color me impressed

MIND BENDING CIA admits it carried out secret psychic experiments on Uri Geller and researched FLYING SAUCERS as it releases 13 million previously classified documents

URI GELLER was subjected to a series of bizarre secret experiments that aimed to weaponize psychic abilities, CIA documents reveal.

The Israeli – famed for his apparent ability to bend spoons with his mind – was taken to Stanford Research Institute in the 1970s to have his psychic abilities investigated.

A newly released cache of CIA documents reveals UFO sightings and psychic experiments from the “Stargate programme”, which has long been of interest to conspiracy theorists.

And some of the files reveal how Geller was probed during a week-long series of tests.

During these he was asked to sit in a sealed and monitored room.

One of the tests involved drawings.

A word was selected at random from a dictionary.

The first word selected was “fuse”.

A firecracker was then drawn by someone outside the locked room.

The picture was then taped to the wall outside Geller’s cell and he was told via intercom the drawing was finished.

The CIA documents say: “His almost immediate response was that he saw a ‘cylinder with noise coming out of it’.

“His drawing to correspond with it was a drum, along with a number of cylindrical-looking objects.”



The second word chosen was “bunch” and a scientist drew a bunch of grapes.

The document states: "Geller's immediate response was that he saw 'drops of water coming out of the picture'.

"He then talked about 'purple circles'.

"Finally, he said that he was quite sure that he had the picture. His drawing was indeed a bunch of grapes."



The researchers concluded Uri "demonstrated his paranormal perceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner".

In 2013 Uri Geller has lifted the lid on his secret past as a SPY — and told how his

spoon-bending antics were just a cover.

The TV magician has revealed details of his years as an operative for the both the CIA and Israel’s feared Mossad agency during the Cold War.

it doesnt impress me or surprise me...they studied a lot of things like this in the past. the stargate project was the same thing that the 'men who stare at goats' movie was about. they didnt find anything and, interestingly enough, when pressed to perform on the Johnny Carson show, Gellar failed. why? .....because Carson was a magician and he had James Randi help him. they didnt let Gellar have access to any of his props prior to the show and when it came time to do his tricks (and they are all well known tricks), he couldnt do them and got defensive. he's been caught many times cheating and doing mentalist tricks.

he didnt believe his 'spoon bending antics were just a cover'....how do i know? because i have Gellar's autobiography and he claimed to be doing that since he was a child. it wasnt something he picked up as a 'cia psychic spy'.

sadly (because i wish they had) there has never been any evidence to support the idea that his 'powers' are real or that any psychic phenomena is real. i mean, the word was 'fuse'...and he drew a drum. i'd think a real psychic could do better.

i think it's amazing, however, that they tried to see if they could coach a person into learning how to remote view.

Hear ya, I never investigated it much but I thought the grapes was impressive. Of course I thought, I wonder what gimmick or insider he used to get the info.

And the picture was a firecracker with a fuse.

I never heard of the guy for the record.

Oh, that must have been embarassing, LOL!
I wonder what countermeasures did the guys at CIA take in order to prevent his tricks: the resemblance between several couple of drawings (that i've just seen) are so impressive that one would rule out any form of coincidence...

Men who stare at goats was an awesome movie.

The set of balls on geller though, taking his bullshit all the way to the C.I.A.

to me, that's the real story here! i cant tell you how many other magicians do the 'making a compass needle move' trick and all the other mentalist tricks he does...but Geller was able to fuck with the CIA.

im not sure but it's not unheard of that scientists are tricked by magicians. Ronny Marcus fooled Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory back in the day mentalists are tricky like that...
