Do you believe in the power of the human mind? One man does and he should know ... his name is Uri Geller.

Geller rocketed to international fame in the Seventies as his phenomenal Mind-Power sent docks haywire and spoons a-twisting. Now in this handy, pocket-sized book, he will teach readers how to develop their own psychic skills.

Packed with inspirational thoughts and invigorating techniques to maximise your mind energies, Uri reveals all the secrets of positive thinking, meditation and willpower.

Speaking yesterday, Uri said "In the world's most famous laboratories I have explored telepathy, psychokinesis, even teleportation - and the scientists have convinced me of one thing. I am not unique. We all have these powers."

So convinced is Uri that he encourages readers to take part in a massive Mind-Power experiment. He has sealed a secret drawing in his safe and at 11 am and 11pm GMT on the 11th of each month he will transmit the drawing telepathically. During the total eclipse of the sun at 11 minutes past 11 on August 11, 1999, Uri will open the envelope and the drawing which most closely matches hisown will win a valuable rock crystal, millions of years old. Mind-bending? You bet!

Now Geller wants to bend minds!

By SHELLEY SQUIRES

Do YOU believe in the power within? If not, maybe you should, according to Uri Geller.

His new Little Book Of Mindpower promises to "maximise your will to win" by revealing the secret of mind-power tricks.

The world-famous spoon-bender advises what music to listen to when your Mindpower is low. He gives words to live by, from great thinkerssuch as Albert Einstein and Carl Jung.

You can learn how to make your mind more powerful than Einstein's, share Uri's Six Gifts From The Gods, and be in on his Top Ten Secrets For Beating Set-Backs.

If you focus on his little drawings of an angel or a heart for one minute, you can send "positive, healing energy" to anyone in the world. A symbol of infinity can make your wishes come true if you focus on it for 30 seconds.

Most people know Uri Geller for his spoon-bending and clock-mending, and his television shows in which the audience watching at home are asked to focus on an orange dot on the screen.

This apparently unleashes the power of the mind so they can"achieve anything", and according to his book, which is also bright orange, it's the colour for vibrant energy.

Uri says he has used his gift to hunt down serial killers, assist the FBI and CIA, and influence nuclear disarmament conferences. He claims to have been "coaching" the minds of Premier League Footballers, Formula One drivers and racing cyclists, although it doesn't mention who they are.

An added "bonus" plugged at the end of the book is a competition he is setting up for the millennium.

At 11am and 11pm on the 11th of every month, until 1999, hewill telepathically transmit the image of a picture he has locked in a safe. Readers are invited to send him the pictures they "receive".

On August 11, 1999, the actual picture will appear on his Internet website. The person who sends in the picture which most closely matches the original will win (wait for it) a million-year-old rock crystal from his personal collection.
