Famous Clairvoyant Psychics

Nostradamus

"The young lion will overcome the old one
On the field of battle in a single combat
He will put out his eyes in a cage of gold
Two wounds, and then to die a cruel death"

The jousting tournament celebrating two marriages within the French royal family was in full swing on 1 July 1559. As the sun was setting, King Henry II rode his magnificently draped horse against Gabriel de Lorges, Count of Montgomery. The encounter was judged a draw, but Henry insisted on a return bout. Moments later the lances of the two contestants splintered, and Montgomery's lance pierced the king's golden visor, entering his eye. The king died nine days later.

This is one of the many prophecies of Nostradamus that came true.

To avoid prosecution as a magician, Nostradamus writes that he purposely confused the time sequence of the Prophecies so that their secrets would not be revealed to the non-initiate. He became very famous in a very short time. Queen Catherine de Medici once asked him to write horoscopes for her seven children, which caused him some concerns, because he has already predicted their fates in the Prophecies. Nostradamus died in the year 1566.

Uri Gellar

Uri Geller was born in Israel on December 20, 1946. His parents are of Hungarian and Austrian descent and he is distantly related on his mother's side to Sigmund Freud. At the age of four he had a mysterious encounter with a sphere of light while in a garden near his house.

He first became aware of his unusual powers when he was five. One day, during a meal, his spoon curled up in his hand and broke, although he had applied no physical pressure to it. His parents were somewhat shocked and Uri did not mention the incident to anyone else at that time. He developed these powers in school by demonstrating them to pupils. His mother thought he inherited them from Sigmund Freud.

When he was eleven, he went to live in Cyprus, where he remained until he was seventeen. He then returned to Israel, served as a paratrooper in the Israel army and fought in the Six-Day War of 1967 during which he was wounded in action.

From 1968 to 1969 Uri worked as a model, he was photographed for many different advertisements.

In 1969 he began to demonstrate his powers of telepathy and psychokinesis to small audiences. By the end of 1971, however, he was a household name throughout Israel thanks to his numerous stage appearances. He was given a plug by the then Prime Minister, Golda Meir. When asked on a national radio programme what she predicted for the future of Israel, she replied, "Don't ask me - ask Uri Geller!"

Uri Gellar and Clairvoyant Psychic

Uri Geller became well known for a few scientifically unexplained phenomena:

Telepathy (Extrasensory perception - the ability to receive someone's thought pattern and transmit images in a similar manner).
Dowsing - Finding the location of precious minerals, by using what I believe to be my powers.
Bending, breaking and softening metal and other solids with the power of the mind, e.g. spoons, keys etc, more rarely plastic and glass.
Fixing broken watches and appliances, and using collective power, influencing the Big Ben to stop.
Moving compasses with the power of thought.
Erasing computer tapes and disks.
Sprouting, causing tiny seeds (mainly red radish) to grow a few centimetres in seconds.

Uri Gellar and Science

In 1972, Uri left Israel for Europe, where he immediately attracted widespread attention. In Germany, witnessed by reporters and photographers, he stopped a cable-car in mid-air using only the power of his mind. He then did the same to an escalator in a major department store. That same year he went to the United States at the invitation of astronaut Captain Edgar Mitchell of the Apollo 14 mission, the sixth man to set foot on the moon, and scientist, inventor and author Andrija Puharich MD. Among the notable scientists he met were Professor Gerald Feinberg of Columbia University physics Department, Ronald Hawke from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Ron Robertson of the Atomic Energy Commission and NASA's Dr Wernher von Braun, " Father of the Space Age", who testified that his own wedding ring bent in his hand without being touched at any time by Geller.

In 1998 Uri met Brian Josephson, Professor of Physics, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, 1973.

He also took part in various controlled laboratory experiments. These are described, with full documentation and astonishing illustrations, in a book entitled The Geller Papers, (1975) Houghton Mifflin Co. edited by Newsweek science writer Charles Panati. They include:

Tests at Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) in California, where carefully witnessed Geller Effects included the creation of "loss" and "gain"; in a gram weight measured on a high-precision balance, Uri's correctly calling of eight out of ten die-throws, against odds of a million to one and he also guessed correctly the location of some hidden targets at odds of a trillion to one! These tests are documented in the official SRI film, on this website. These important controlled experiments were published as a scientific paper in the prestigious British journal Nature.

In 1984, he rendered a computer non-operational in Switzerland by garbling a floppy disc. In 1985, he performed a similar feat before a dozen witnesses, at the headquarters of Wang computer company near London. Uri continued these experimental demonstrations in 1986 and 1987, when he totally erased some computer tapes belonging to Germany's biggest newspaper publishing group, Axel Springer Verlag.

In 1991, he again hit world headlines when he stopped Britain's most famous clock, Big Ben, he has repeated this unbelievable feat twice more; three years later when it was reported by the world's media and again in May 1997. The clock stopped at 12:11 which is 11:11 GMT. 11:11 is Uri's mystical number.

Uri Gellar and Inventions

Geller, with his friend Meir Gitlis who heads an electronics company, has developed a number of inventions that are already in production: the Moneytron (tells a fake banknote from a genuine one), the Diamontron (does the same for diamonds), the Gazgal gas leak detector, and a number of security devices including sensors for defence installations. Another invention is the Gold-Meter, a compact electronic device for examining solid and other precious metals by an electro-chemical process controlled by a micro computer.

Their latest invention is a small earthquake sensor, which is affordable enough for every home. They have also developed an earthquake shock absorber which should go into the foundations of new buildings such as skyscrapers.

For users of hand held Cellular Telephones there is a shield which prevents the harmful effects of long term exposure to the shortwaves penetrating your head.

Uri Gellar and Movies

In 1995 a major motion picture inspired by Uri's life has been produced with the title Mindbender: Directed by Ken Russell, it stars Ishai Golan as Uri and Golden Globe and Oscar nominee Terence Stamp as the scientist who discovered Uri in the early 1970s. Mindbender is the first film in motion picture history to allow the audience to "interact" with the screen action. Music is by the Bee Gees, Moody Blues, Elton John and Peter Gabriel. Distributed by Disney's Buena Vista & Arron Spelling's Republic. In 2001 on the invitation of two young British filmmakers graduates of Southampton Institute, Uri was asked to take a small part in their up coming movie, a psychological, medical horror film called Diagnosis. Uri was so impressed with the story line, quality and the method with which Diagnosis was directed that he formed a partnership with, James Eaves and Johannes Roberts who also wrote the music they are going to produce five new movies. Their next project will be a film called Alice, followed by the life of Salvador Dali, who Uri knew. James Eaves and Johannes Roberts are indirect protégés of legendary director Ken Russell.

Uri Gellar and Arts

Uri's artistic skills began during his early childhood. Since then he has been drawing and painting, having exhibited his artworks in major galleries and museums around the world. His latest creations include designing pottery, crystal, glass and jewellery for Poole Pottery and QVC. Uri's drawings have also been featured in Belinda Carlisle's and Michael Jackson's (Invincible) latest albums. Uri's style was influenced by Picasso, Salvador Dali (whose 'pupil' he was), Andy Warhol and Peter Max. All of these artists Uri have met.

In 1992 Uri created a unique masterpiece - the "Geller effect" - by riveting bent cutlery to his 1976 Cadillac. It became an instant success and was exhibited in the prestigious Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Over a million people saw the "Geller Effect", including Britains Prime Minister John Major, at the International Car Show in England where it caused a sensation. The car has subsequently been featured in many Charities and hundreds of newspapers, magazines and TV shows across the world. From October 1999 the Cadillac was on loan to the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore Inner Harbor, Maryland USA.
