Part 2/9:
Geller emerged in the 1970s as a household name, showcasing on-screen skills that supposedly involved bending utensils without physical intervention. These performances led many to report similar experiences in their own homes, claiming their cutlery began to bend after witnessing Geller’s demonstrations. His approach sparked the phenomenon of psychokinesis (PK) workshops and parties, where others attempted to replicate his success.
Raising a critical eye, one might wonder whether these experiences represented anything other than clever illusions. The episode highlighted the debate over whether individuals who claimed to bend utensils did so through genuine psychic ability or through psychological suggestion and physical manipulation.
