For over 60 years, spanning from his childhood to the Cold War to
the current day, former Israeli paratrooper and Six Day War veteran
Uri Geller has been a major enigma. Is he merely one of the most
convincing stage magicians in history, a multimillionaire
entertainer, courted by presidents and rock stars? Or is the now 67
year-old UK resident the possessor of genuine paranormal powers,
which have not only been tested and verified by the most demanding
scientific laboratories in the US, but employed by the US and other
western powers in secret operations? In July, a sensational new
BBC2 documentary by Oscar-winning director Vikram Jayanti aired,
bringing to light the most convincing testimony ever heard - much
from retired CIA chiefs - that Geller, alongside being one of the
most famous people in the world in his day, was, as late as
post-9/11, operated as a psychic spy by the US military spymasters
and those of other governments. But the revelations in the BBC film
are merely the tip of the spooky iceberg according to FT and
Observer technology writer Jonathan Margolis, who wrote Geller's
biography in the late 1990s. Much weirder, scientist-documented
paranormal phenomena manifested around Uri Geller in secret US
government facilities throughout the 1970s and 80s. In The Secret
Life of Uri Geller, the always sceptical Margolis tells the full
story of how a poor boy from a broken family in the back streets of
Tel Aviv went from being a playground sensation whom friends recall
as baffling hapless teachers with his strange powers - to a bizarre
player in the Cold War superpower mind games of the 1970s, later
reactivated for the war on terrorism in this century. To those who
remember Geller in his heyday to younger people who have barely
heard of him, it is one of the strangest true stories ever told.
