A new documentary claims that showbiz psychic Uri Geller is involved in global espionage, and that after 9/11 he was "reactivated" as a pyschic spy.
We may know him for spoon bending antics and for his lengthy friendship with pop star Michael Jackson but Geller has seemingly had a lengthy second career as a secret agent for Mossad and the CIA, albeit one that was more Austin Powers than James Bond.
Geller was at the Sheffield Doc Fest this week for the premiere of Vikram Jayanti's 'The Secret Life Of Uri Geller - Psychic Spy?', a new film that offers compelling evidence of his involvement in the shadowy world of espionage.
Speaking to The Independent, Geller acknowledged alarm when he first saw Jayanti's documentary.
Geller said of the way the documentary outs him as a spy.

He didn't realise that Jayanti was going to do such a thorough job of tying all the loose ends.
When he signed up for the doc, the psychic didn't realise quite how diligently Jayanti would track down his old spy masters.
Nonetheless, he is happy that the doc is showing "a serious side" to him.
On camera and in interview, Geller still remains coy about his espionage activities.
Nonetheless, the psychic acknowledges that his handlers once asked him to use telepathy to stop a pig's heart.
He refused, knowing that if he had succeeded, the next target would almost certainly have been a human.
He said that he tried to execute missions that were positive, and said no to dark things.
It is inferred that Geller attempted to use his psychic powers to disable radar during the "raid on Entebbe," when Israeli commandos stormed a hijacked plane.
The spoon bender also used his mind powers to try erase the contents of floppy discs being carried back to Russia by Soviet diplomats in Mexico and to convince a Russian minister to sign a nuclear arms reduction treaty.
