Back in 2001, my family and I travelled to Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire to attend an art exhibition put on by Uri Geller. Apart from bending spoons, which I have witnessed on several occasions, Uri also designes and sells jewellery, via QVC, and designs artwork on pottery.
Anyway, Uri is a very approachable fellow and we got chatting to him about different things including his artwork and designs. We then talked about other interests as, I’m sure you will know, he is world famous for his controversial psychic ability.
Then, all of a sudden, Uri invited me to sit at a table opposite himself. At that point, I was unsure as to why he would want me to sit down directly opposite him. He then proceeded to get out a blank sheet of paper. After tearing it in half, he then hands me one piece and asks me to draw a simple picture of an object whilst his back is turned and then turn it over onto the table, making impossible for him to see what I had just drawn.
Once I had finished doing this, he turned back towards me and then asked me to concentrate hard on what I had just drawn. He said “visualise the object in your mind’s eye and project it to me as if it’s on a TV screen in your head”. In other words I had to send him this image from my mind to his.
Now this was quite a challenge, as it was no easy task to continually concentrate on sending the image in the middle of a large sports hall with all its distractions. At one point, I momentarily lost concentration but amazingly, he picked up on this straight away and asked me to re focus on the image.
He then started to draw his impression on the other piece of paper, but I couldn’t actually see from where I was sat what was being drawn. After completing his drawing he then turned his piece of paper over face down, onto the table. He then said “please turn over your piece of paper so I can see what you have drawn”. So I start to turn over my piece of paper.
By this time there are quite a few people in the hall, including my wife and two young daughters, watching us. Uri then turns over his piece of paper, and astoundingly it is the exact image that I have drawn! Even to the same scale!
That surely has to be telepathy. What do you think?
Can you guess what I drew?
NB. What I drew was in no way simple, such as a face, boat or person!
