all this talk of the paranormal prompted me to look up uri on wiki:
Geller's performances of drawing duplication and cutlery bending usually take place under informal conditions such as television interviews. During his early career he did allow some scientists to investigate his claims. A study[3] by Stanford Research Institute researchers Harold E. Puthoff and Russell Targ concluded that he had clearly performed successfully enough to warrant further serious study, and a new term, the "Geller-effect", was coined to refer to the particular type of abilities they felt had been demonstrated. Puthoff and Targ's report of Geller's remote viewing test was subsequently published in the British scientific journal Nature in 1974, along with an editorial expressing certain reservations.
