Uri Geller is one of the world’s most investigated and celebrated mystifiers. Famous around the globe for his mind (and spoon) bending abilities, he has led a unique life shrouded in debate, controversy and mystery.
Geller worked with and was mentored by Salvador Dalí for two years in the early 1970s, a period that significantly influenced Geller's own artistic path, shifting him from a conscious approach to one of more intuitive and surrealist concepts. During their time together, Dalí gifted Geller a crystal he claimed was from Leonardo da Vinci, which Geller later used as the hood ornament for his famous Cadillac covered in bent spoons. Geller also claims he was influenced by other renowned artists, including Pablo Picasso, Peter Max, and Andy Warhol.
