This biography of Uri Geller, the controversial spoon-bending and mind-reading performer, was the first to examine dispassionately whether the former Israeli paratrooper is a talented magician or something altogether more mysterious—perhaps even an authentic paranormalist. "Superstitious atheists will find this book toxic. Jonathan Margolis clearly spooked himself writing it and I got an attack of the creeps one night just reading it." —Evening Standard
"A brilliant book—nine out of ten." —Channel 4
"A fascinating, unjaded, open-minded account of a great modern puzzle." —Mail on Sunday
"An even-handed and assiduously researched work...something close to a definitive assessment." —New Statesman
