Uri Geller - The Nine

For those readers of this biography who have not read Uri, I will give a synopsis of what the book is about.

After a lengthy introduction, in which Andrija sums up the incidents in his life which brought Uri and him together, he continues to tell about Uri's childhood in war-ridden Israel, and the years that he lived with his mother on Cyprus.

Uri was just an ordinary child until, at the age of seven, he discovered that he could move the hands of his watch by "wishing" them to move, and that he was able to tell how much his mother had won or lost when she returned from playing cards with friends. He never paid much attention to his unusual gift until his friend Shipi asked him to do his

"trick" with the watch for friends.

Just to amuse them, Uri also made them draw pictures, and write numbers on a blackboard, and while blindfolded, he would guess what they had written. Uri didn't know how he did this; the words psychokinesis and telepathy were unknown to him.

He loved being a showman so much that in 1970 he became a full-time entertainer.

I enjoyed reading about Uri's youth, and his growing into manhood.

What followed, the investigation by Andrija of Uri's telepathic and psychokinetic powers, I found tedious and boring, the enumerations of the "miracles" that occurred too long to be credible. By miracles I mean that objects materialized, vanished, and reappeared again. I'll give one example of materialization: One-day Andrija's camera-case to his super 8-movie camera had suddenly appeared in Uri's apartment. Andrija did

not understand how it could have gotten there, because he had left it behind in the States to save on weight, as he had told Uri, when asked where it was. Uri was all excited that he had 'teleported' the case from Ossining to Israel, over six thousand miles away, just because he felt that Andrija would really like to have it with him.

Andrija had absolutely no doubt that Uri's psychic talents were genuine. Neither did he doubt Uri's story that he had seen a UFO, and a being from outer space when he was only three years old. "Slowly settling down from the sky was a huge bowl shaped object that looked like one of my mother's aluminium bowls," he told Andrija. The "being"

he described as the shadow of a huge figure, like the shadow of a man with a long cape, because there were no arms or legs that he could see.

As he had stared at this figure, a blinding ray of light came from its head, and struck him so hard that he fell backwards, and into a deep sleep.

Not until he met Andrija, at the age of twenty-five, did Uri see anything like it again. According to the book, he, and Andrija now both saw UFO's repeatedly. And not only that, they also received messages from an extraterrestrial intelligence on a tape recorder which started and stopped by itself.
