     I went to a Geller performance last year, and was totally unimpressed.
 Every "mind reading" trick done was very simple and required no telepathic
 ability. He then went on to repair "broken" watches, again nothing special
 some watches ticked for a while then stopped again (as would be expected)
 A lot of the watches remained broken. He then bent a few spoons which he
 of course held in his hand!

     What a bunch of nonsense! I would rather have seen a good conventional
 magic show!

     All that aside, Geller could be considered harmless EXCEPT he has to go
 and claim that his "powers" (which obviously don't exist) come from GOD
 (whom I don't think exists either).
