Origin of symbols[edit]

First time editor here, sorry for the awful formatting. "The symbols on Kadabra's forehead and abdomen appear to be references to Zener cards, a small deck of symbols used in experiments to test for extrasensory perception and clairvoyance in the early 1930s. "— Unsigned, by: 24.37.103.150 / talk / contribs

I'll bet Geller tries to sue the original manufacturer of those, too. He really does think he's more important & well-known than he actually is, doesn't he? I hadn't heard of him until I saw the Pokemon article here on RW, and I guarantee he isn't the first - or the best, or the most famous - to do the spoon-bending trick. 69.249.111.215 (talk) 18:37, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Suez Canal Blocking[edit]

Concerning "claiming to have moved a ship blocking the Suez Canal in 2021", I quote from Ben Harris' Book "Bend it Like Geller", page 211: "Did Uri really expect us to believe that mind-power was responsible? Or, was the episode a masterstroke of publicity? He finished the TV show by reminding the viewers of the date. It was, in fact, the First of April." --185.238.219.81 (talk)
