He's most famous for bending spoons and mixing with the rich and famous,
but a new documentary claims Uri Geller has also been leading a secret
life as a CIA spy.
And the controversial paranormalist has even admitted he was once asked
to use telepathy to stop a pig's heart, but he refused as he suspected
he would next be asked to perform the act on a human.
Geller's life as a covert spy has been revealed in a new documentary by
Vikram Jayanti, The Secret Life of Uri Geller - Psychic Spy?

Uri Geller's secret life as a CIA spy has been revealed in a new
documentary
The film explores work Geller is said to have carried out for military
and intelligence agencies across three continents.
The film, which was premiered at the Sheffield Doc Fest and will be
broadcast by the BBC later this year, includes interviews with those who
had first-hand knowledge of Geller's work, including former CIA officer
Kit Green and retired army colonel John Alexander, who featured in
journalist Jon Ronson's book The Men Who Stare At Goats.
Geller, who attended the premiere, has said he is concerned at the way
he is revealed as a spy in the film.
Speaking to The Independent

was going to do such a thorough job of tying all the loose ends...
making that the little hints I dropped throughout my career were real.'

Geller has admitted he was asked to stop a pig's heart but he refused as
he feared he would next be asked to perform the act on a human
He also said he refused to carry out 'dark things' and only executed
'positive' missions.
The film suggests Geller attempted to erase the contents of floppy disks
being carried by Soviet diplomats in Mexico back to Russia and even
disable radar when Israeli commandos stormed a hijacked plane during the
'raid on Entebbe'.
Film-maker Jayanti suggests the US recruited Geller during a 'psychic
arms race' with the Soviet Union, although it is believed he came to the
attention of the CIA while he was already working for the Israeli
military.
While Geller remains coy about his involvement in covert operations
during the film, he is happy to reveal how he obtained his surprise
Mexican citizenship - by pinpointing where to drill for oil.

The spoon-bender is believed to have first come to the attention of the
CIA while working for the Israeli military
Geller has said he first became aware of his abilities at the age of
five when a spoon curled up in his hand and broke during a meal.
He says he went on to develop the powers by demonstrating them to pupils
at his school
His mother meanwhile believed he inherited them from distant relative
Sigmund Freud.
