Guard your silverware, it's Uri Geller! I love Uri Geller! Uri is the Uber-Mentalist of all time, a huge celebrity since the 1970's when he baffled the world with his amazing spoon bending and clock-stopping and -starting feats. The first and only mentalism book I ever read was The Magic of Uri Geller by James Randi. I loved that book. I think it was meant to have a different effect, though I could be wrong, but on me the effect was to be totally thrilled and fascinated with Uri Geller. I spent two of the best weekends of my life reading that book! It took me that long because I was eating cookies and flipping back and forth to look at the pictures! Before I read The Magic of Uri Geller, when mentalists came to the house, I wasn't really included in the conversations except the ones that went, "Hey, Cindy, get me a beer!" / "Okay!" and "Hey, Cindy, get so-and-so another beer!" / "Here you go!" and then there was always the one that went, "Can I get you guys something to drink?" / "Yes, beer, thank you!" After I read that book, every time mentalists came to the house I'd beg them for stories about meeting Uri Geller, and I got a lot of them! The next thing I knew, I was a part of some conversations that were not actually about getting beer, and they would sometimes last until two or three in the morning! I learned a lot and I liked it! And so, thanks to Uri Geller, I am in the know about mentalism. I know everything. Go ahead, test me!* **

** Yes, I still get the beer.
