Uri Geller: Magician or Mystic?

This biography of Uri Geller, the controversial spoon-bending and mind-reading performer, was the first to examine dispassionately whether the former Israeli paratrooper is a talented magician or something altogether more mysterious â perhaps even an authentic paranormalist. âSuperstitious atheists will find this book toxic. Jonathan Margolis clearly spooked himself writing it and I got an attack of the creeps one night just reading it.â â Evening Standard âA brilliant book â nine out of ten.â â Channel 4 âA fascinating, unjaded, open-minded account of a great modern puzzle.â â Mail on Sunday âAn even-handed and assiduously researched work. . . something close to a definitive assessment.â â New Statesman
