He's a pseudo-magician & Israeli con-man.

With that bias I'll have to say that Uri Gellar is a good showman, but not the real deal - if there is such a thing. There's a good book by Ben Harris called 'Gellerism Revealed' which exposes much of Geller's stuff.
On the one hand I'm grateful to guys like Gellar cos it makes stuff like spoon bending a lot more believable to the general public, but on the other hand I get angry with them for trying to make people believe that what they do is real. Especially guys like John Edwards who prey on bereaved people.
Once again, though, that's just my opinion..

21.7.13 9pm on Sunday 21st July (1 hour) on BBC 2. The Secret Life of Uri Geller
"Uri Geller, the controversial mentalist, paranormal expert and spoon bender, has had a life in front of the cameras, a life surrounded by controversy, a life dotted with amazing psychic demonstrations. But most people do not know that, away from the bent cutlery and broken watches, he has been leading a second, covert, life as a 'psychic spy', working secretly and without recognition for nearly 30 years. This secret life has included work for military and intelligence agencies on three continents; indeed, the scientists who first did rigorous research on Geller more than 40 years ago (and concluded that he has a phenomenal gift) were funded by the CIA. In this documentary, the intriguing story is explored, with compelling interviews from Uri himself as well as those who knew and worked closely with him."
