More About The Truth About Uri Geller
I've no time for more than a line or two on this, but basically the book's essential reading for anyone interested in the rational approach to supposedly paranormal phenomena. Largely using the method of quoting in extenso from other sources -- newspaper articles, etc. -- and adding his own pungent commentary, Randi pulls apart the... I knew Uri Geller was kinda generally disliked for being a fraud, but I had no idea he was so successful in tricking so many over such a long period of time.James Randi is amazing. This book lead me to looking up his videos on youtube, the shows he had done in the past, and his TED talk etc. A very strong mind of reason - if anything... Battle of the Egos. James Randi vs Uri Geller. It's all so old hat now.This book has so many typos that I found it annoying to read. Who proof-read the Kindle version? I suspect no one. Near the end of the book James Randi was written as 'James Ranch': that's pathetic.Don't waste your time on this book.
