But he also worked with the govt funded research into remote viewing and was very successful.
So who knows?

Shooting ignorantly from the hip is common on ATS these days. No example is better/or worse than several comments in this thread about Uri Geller. Most of the negative views about Geller came from one man, a former magician who was a definite fraud himself. Geller was a showman, with a unique talent that made him rich and both popular and unpopular.
I suppose some of you doubters can't get beyond the "spoon-bending" aspect and would also dismiss the technique of Remote Viewing as being not a legitimate subject for commo folks as it is too "woo-Woo." If you would ignore what the CIA would have you believe, you could discover that Geller was at the ground level of developing the techniques of remote viewing and an in-your-face proof of the process before it was a process.
Disallow ignorance and appreciate Geller's participation in psi phenomena by reading a book called Mind-Reach by Russell Targ & Harold Puthoff (1977) which details much of the efforts to develop the techniques of remote viewing which many of you still think impossible. Bear in mind that the CIA/US Army had an active element of service for 20 years using RV to discover conventionally hidden secrets of our enemies.
BTW: The movie The Men who Stare at Goats was a CIA project to trash the book of the same name.
