Uri Geller has created the Geller Effect. The car is his cherished custom-built 1976 Cadillac encrusted with approximately 5,000 pieces of contorted cutlery painstakingly riveted to the car's body. Some of his treasured pieces were owned, used or touched by famous personalities. (See Below).

Many have semi-precious stones and crystals imbedded in them in a most exciting artistic fashion. The bonnet's mascot is a rare rock crystal globe once belonging to the surrealist master Salvador Dali. In addition looking closely it can be seen that some cutlery is carefully arranged to form the signs of the many religions and the symbol of peace adorns the car.

Uri, who lives in Britain, bent some of the cutlery with brainpower and the rest were artfully shaped with his Israeli friend, sculptor Avi Pines, who used physical technical means. They spent over 6 months creating this masterpiece. The ornaments adorning the car include several originals which Uri has salvaged from his 35 year metal bending career. A number come from his personal celebrity collection. The word peace is incorporated into the design in several languages including Arabic and Hebrew.

British, Israeli, Arabic and Indian school children donated around 1,000 of the spoons and forks, The priceless Cadillac has moved from the prestigious Israel Museum in Jerusalem (from where Uri intends to drive to Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and even Iran in the cause for peace in the Middle East) to the American visionary arts museum in the United States, where it remained throughout the years 2000 and 2001. The car has also been displayed at the Jewish museum in London, England (1999). Currently it is the centrepiece of the Beaulieu National Museum in Great Brittan.

Short Biography

Uri Geller is the world's most investigated and celebrated paranormalist. Famous around the globe for his mind-bending psychic powers, he has led a unique life shrouded in debate, controversy and mystery. He is also related to Sigmund Freud.

He was studied by scientists who worked with Albert Einstein and the world's most prestigious scientific magazine, Nature, published a paper on Uri's work at the Stanford Research Institute in the U.S.A - a unique endorsement, and an irrefutable proof that his powers are genuine. His work with the FBI and the CIA has ranged from using MindPower to erase KGB computer files and track serial killers, to attend nuclear disarmament negotiations to bombard and influence delegates with positive thought waves so that they would sign the Nuclear Arms Reduction Treaty. Uri also spoke for a group of US Senators and National Security Executives in the high-security room in the Capitol Building in Washington. For decades this aspect of his career was too confidential and controversial to discuss.

Uri has lectured to the directors and CEOs of large multinational companies such as Novartis, Mizuno, Sony, Rolls Royce, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Hallmark and many more. He was also recently invited as a speaker to the 2004 World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, along with such dignitaries as Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney and Steve Forbes.

A vegetarian and fervent promoter of peace, Uri has used his gifts to successfully detect oil and precious metals. This has provided him the freedom to help others. He is the motivational MindPower coach to Premier League footballers, industrialists, Formula One drivers ice skaters for the Olympics, boxers and racing cyclists, he cycles 15 miles daily on his exercise bike.

Uri's artistic skills began during his early childhood. A 'pupil' of Salvador Dali, whom he knew well, Uri's drawings, paintings and artworks have been exhibited in major galleries and museums in the U.S.A., Europe, Japan and Israel. His pottery, crystals, glass and natural rock crystal jewellery creations are in great demand worldwide. Uri's drawings ARE featured on both Belinda Carlisle's and Michael Jackson's latest albums. Uri Geller has designed the logo of the most successful boy band in the world ever N*SYNC.

He has also met great artists such as Andy Warhol, Picasso, Peter Max and John Lennon, whom he befriended.

Uri's tireless dedication to charitable work led to his appointment as the Honorary Vice-President of the Royal Hospital for Children in Bristol and of the Royal Berkshire Hospital, close to his Thames-side mansion. Uri is a patron of Climb For Tibet together with the Dalai Lama . On numerous occasions, he has given awards on behalf of His Royal Highness Prince Philip - The Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace and St. James Palace and lectured at the United Nations for international delegates. He is the father of a twenty-two year old daughter and a twenty-three year-old son, the owner of three dogs and the author of fifteen best-sellers, including the novels Ella (which is being turned into a major motion picture) and Dead Cold, the latter having been listed as a contender for the Golden Dagger Award by The Times in the U.K.
