Rather than listening to James Randi's religious denial and debunking, see what professional scientists and magicians say about Uri Geller at:

Listen to what the narrator says at 1:30 seconds. Again if Geller has any paranormal abilities then why wasn't there more research done. You have no evidence to show Geller can do what you hope he can. Btw nothing on your site is going to convince me because it's more rehash of stuff that's been rehashed countless times before.

You are under a mistaken impression if you think
this site is here to convince or convert pseudoskeptics.
This site is to debunk and expose you guys and your
ignorance of science, scientific method and logic.
You harp on about wanting scientific and empirical
evidence, but when you are presented with some, you
as expected shift the goal post. You could honestly
careless about evidence, in the end you have already
made up your mind on what you want to believe.
This man Uri Geller has been subjected to 5 weeks of
rigorous scientific experiments by professional scientists
at one of the most pretigious scientific institutes in the
world. The videos above present live footage of those
experiments. Can you explain how Geller could have done
what he did through non-paranormal means?

Prowag. Prove that there were insufficient controls.
The perception experiment, the double blind hidden object experiment,
and double blind die in the box experiment, the two psychokinetic experiments
were the best controlled. Geller succeeded to show his ability.
In what the SRI scientists considered unconfirmed the bending of metal objects,
he was filmed from every angle whilst attempting to bend them, and mirrors were
above above and under him showing everything he was doing. Are you saying this
is an insufficient control? The ring would require 150 pound force to bend it, where
is Geller going to muster 150 pound force from his wee fingers?
As for the analysis of the experiments by the scientists. They state this because they
have no working hypothesis, so they cannot positively state that the means are pychic,
however what is conclusive is that Geller succeeded to show his abilities under controlled
scientific conditions which eliminated all kinds of trickey. Show me how there could have
been trickery involved in what they selected as their best controlled experiments.
