<p>Uri Geller shook the world with bent spoons, broken watches, and bold claims of psychic power—but what really lies behind the legend? In this episode, we dive into the hype, the controversy, and the decades-long battle between Geller and the scientific and skeptical communities. From TV triumphs to spectacular failures under controlled conditions, from CIA curiosity to brutal debunkings, this investigation exposes how illusion, psychology, media manipulation, and belief helped build one of the most polarizing figures in paranormal history.</p>
