As to fork bending, strange how it NEVER (and I mean >*NEVER*) happens on camera! Again - I myself had (and may still have in storage) a series of consecutive photographs from a film taken of a fork bending in Uri's hands. The investigator brought the fork himself and both he and the cameraman saw at close range what the film shows. The fork is obviously bending and at a position away from where Geller's hand is holding the end of the fork. From the pictures I can only conclude that either the entire filming was a hoax by all involved, or that Uri indeed has bent forks in some highly unsual manner different from what Randi claims. Even though prop forks certainly could be made, I have yet to see a magician do what the pictures show. That's the problem I have with Randi and the like. They deny that forks have ever slowly bent in Uri's hands. There is something wrong here since there are people (including friends of mine) and film (at least one) which dispute that. -- Dave Trissel {ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!oakhill!davet
