    Johnny did an excellent job of exposing this fraud. His friend, magician and psychic skeptic James Randi, instructed Johnny and his staff to not let Geller or his associates near the items on the table. As such, Geller was unable to manipulate the items prior to his spot. The appearance didn't destroy Geller's career, but it did cause it to fade from prominence.

      I love the way the fraudster tries, however. He realises from the beginning that he's basically f...ed, to employ professional magician terminology. So he switches to choosing canisters that DON'T have the water, where he starts with a 9 out of 10 chance of being right, then 8 of 9, and 7 of 8. Meanwhile he's talking, doing shtick, filibustering, and practically begging Johnny to ask more questions, as he hopes to run out the clock. He also hits upon the idea of asking the other guest to take the canister Geller chooses. There is no intelligible reason other than to hope the guest will clumsily touch other cannisters, which he dare not do himself with the camera and Johnny right on him. That indeed happens, and of course Geller then makes a show of admonishing him to be careful, etc. But after getting lucky 3 times, Geller chickens out and switches to the spoon bs, while looking for an opportunity, no doubt, to give the table a little kick. I think he actually manages that at the third commercial break, but by this time he's ready to play out the clock.

Up until that point, I was a fan of Geller. Like many kids (and adults too) I was naive and fell for his con. I thought he was a really cool dude with genuine psychic abilities. Well, thanks to Carson, his grift was exposed. I was so angry and disappointed but also grateful that I had gained fraud awareness from it. It was one of those "growing up" moments you begin to experience at that pre-teen age. Thank you for that, Johnny! ❤

    Omg Carson is amazing, he is there present every single time Geller tries to weasel out of things. A guy like Geller is of course great at talking himself out of trouble when in difficult situations, but Carson is at every single turn there to meet him. He ridicules Geller elegantly, and you can see Geller desperate and very insecure. His tricks are not working, his talking is not working, he was absolutely owned by Carson for the whole 20 minutes.

Geller was "OWNED" in such a way he wasn't sure if he was being owned or not. I'm sure once Geller got back to his hotel he was like FuK... Johnny just ruined my career.

I might watch Jimmy Kimmel now and then, but he is no Johnny. Although, I don't believe Johnny would ever ask people to tell their kids they ate all of their Halloween candy. I never believed Uri Geller could do anything except sell a myth. I forgot to mention I can bend a very strong spoon too, digging out ice cream.
