"Charlatan tries desperately to cling to relevance" is a more apt headline.
Has anybody blown James Randi's ashes into his eyes yet?

Any time Uri Geller is near a spoon, sprinkle some of James Randi's ashes around it. Like kryptonite.
The Uri Gellar museum has the world's largest spoon at 53ft.
Imagine if he actually believes it. He could just be delusional.
I honestly didn’t think he was still alive.
No shortage of rubes giving him money.
You expect me to believe the aliens on P7X-377 care at all about the World Cup?
Not to be that guy, but calling that planet system by the P word is seen as derogatory in this day and age. Please refer to it by the name □□□□-□'□□. You may not be able to pronounce it correctly if you only have two orifices in your face that can emit sounds, but the locals will appreciate the effort.
well, the enemy of my enemy, right?
Didn't realize this guy was still alive
Not only is he alive, he's making big money off the Mossad as a psychic spy and investors hire him to psychically detect new oil fields. He owns an island, and a museum. Located in the Jaffa port in Tel Aviv, this museum is a renovated Ottoman-era soap factory featuring a vast collection of his memorabilia. It holds the Guinness World Record for the world's largest steel spoon (53 feet long) and houses items that once belonged to Michael Jackson.
He once tried to psychically block Brexit.
He was no Kreskin, who was amazing.
Well that's quite a ride.
Man, it's a shame having morals pays so little...
I'd scam oil drilling companies and intelligence agencies even with my current morals.
Let's all concentrate and psychically bend his big spoon!
it worked!
From where is this?
I don’t recall the episode, but that’s David Mitchell looking awkward with a woman inadvertently challenging him not to be a wanker with a superiority complex, so I imagine it’s Peep Show.
I just wanted the series name. Thanks I will have a look. I see that is a comedy, and I tend to watch British comedy a lot, starting with Allo Allo, keeping up the appearances and the IT crowd. Lately the comedy Central from Poland has the one foot in the grave, which I watch when i can.
It’s very good if you don’t mind the subgenre of pathologically narcissistic main characters, like Seinfeld or Always Sunny. It’s also a clever send-up of the Friends era of shows about “hip” young urbanites.
I do loved Seinfeld, but not much Always sunny in Philadelphia. Interesting thanks again. Btw I loved only fools and horses, some good lines in there.
See if you can find The Young Ones online. And the Two Ronnies. And Porridge. And Open All Hours. And Are You Being Served? And Red Dwarf.
It’s shot entirely from the first-person perspective which is a bit uncomfortable at times, but enhances the humor as well.
Also every character is unlikeable. Which is what makes it funny.
The British had some amazing comedy, starting from the lines and scripts. They need to have some more of these, we need them nowdays.
Hold on, 'alien crystal skull' is my porn name.
Dan Akroyd's, too.
I miss Randi.
It's MSN. Don't share any of their bullshit please. They don't deserve the ticks. And it's complete slop.
Sorry. The original source was The Daily Star, which I thought was worse. I realize the story is garbage, but I was going by Rule 4: the headline immediately made me think, "Is this an Onion headline?"
Piece of shit "news" sites shouldn't get any attention nor clicks. It keeps them alive which makes this world just a little bit worse than it already is.
I’m still salty that this is the direction they went with the Mcguffin for Indy 4. You’re going to take Harrison Ford’s last halfway plausible outing as an action hero and waste it on this? A little-known niche element of new age woo conspiracy shit that nobody coming into the movie cared about AND that literally sucks all the magic out of the universe the characters inhabit in favor of underwhelming sci-fi unobtainium?
Also Shia Labeouf.
“Everyone! Look at me! I am right here, look at me!”
Uri Geller
Paul the Oracle was far more accurate.
