The Uri Gellar effect is a term given to feats of psycho kinesis that are performed by the Israeli psychic, Uri Gellar. To lots of people, he was one of the greatest demonstrators of psychic phenomena of all time. Some of his evidence pieces were the twisted spoons, restarted clocks/watches and drawings that were copied from the imagination of others, which were usually just members of his audience. 
Uri Gellar claimed he discovered his psychic powers at five years of age, when he saw a small blue spark on his mother's sewing machine, and tried to touch it, he got a violent shock. After that incident, he says that his psychic ability showed itself immediately. He was able to read his mother's mind, and after that, it progressed on to spoon bending and making the hands of watches and clocks turn faster.
Uri Geller became well known for a few scientifically unexplained phenomena:
• Telepathy – this is where he could receive peoples thoughts and translate them into an image.
• Dowsing - Finding the location of precious minerals, by using his alleged psychic ability.
• Bending, breaking and softening metal and other solids with the psychic power of the mind, for example spoons, keys etc, more rarely plastic and even glass.
• Fixing broken watches and appliances, and using collective psychic power, and once supposedly causing the Big Ben to stop.
• Moving compasses with the power of his thought.
• Wiping information off computer tapes and disks.
• Sprouting - causing tiny seeds to grow a few centimetres in seconds, supposedly just by the power of thought.
He took these special psychic abilities to stage and became a full-time performer in 1969. He reached his peak in his career in the 1970s. He was in a lot of demand and it seemed like the whole world wanted to see him. He travelled all over the world and made frequent television and also radio appearances, wowing the audience with his supernatural ability to read people's minds and also see sometimes into the future. Following his stops, broadcasters were flooded by calls from viewers and listeners who reported that their silverware had been bent or their watches and clocks weren’t working properly.
