The latest issue of the Fortean Times (FT250 Special 2009, cover story "Invizikids") has two brief articles that may be of special interest to those present:

Miracle at Silverstone
In 1998 Uri Geller did what was apparently an impromptu bend of a spanner for some mechanics at the British Grand Prix. The article examines not only the story but the spanner itself, testing how much force would be needed to bend it.
For those (like me!) who have always dismissed Geller as a mere charlatan, this article should raise some interesting and disturbing questions.

Psychic Fads: Table-Turning
Part of the FT's "Blasts from the Past" series. Just as spoon-bending was all the rage in the 1970s, table-turning (or table-tipping) was the main demonstration of paranormal power in Victorian times. This article features a typical session that got out of hand and became a full-on poltergeist event.

The Fortean Times is always worth reading, and I've been a subscriber for many years. Heartily recommended to all.

I thought the Fortean times had been canceled?

Just had its 250th issue (featuring a special tribute to John Michell) and going strong.

Yeah, it's a "must buy" for mentalists. My favourite Saturday of the month is "Fortean Times Saturday".

I used to love the tv show too I'm sure you can pick up past issues on cd straight from them. There is another mag out called I think paranormal that is worth a read too

Another that may appeal to the bizarrists Ghost Voices Magazine has an article on the history of the ouija board. You can find it in WHSmiths. It had an article on the fox sisters last month that was quite interesting.
