Performer: Uri is well-known for his memorable spoon bending trick 

Uri rose to prominence in the 1970s with an act based around his apparent psychic powers and telepathy skills, which were even tested by the CIA.   

 His trademark spoon bending trick, alongside describing hidden pictures and making watches run slower or faster made him a worldwide sensation.

The star has credited his powers to paranormal sources, claiming they were granted to him by extra-terrestrials, although this has been slammed by critics.

Uri has weighed in on political issues in recent months and said he felt ‘psychically and very strongly’ that most Britons were anti-Brexit and said he will ‘not allow’ the Prime Minister to lead Britain out of the European Union. 

He wrote: ‘I feel psychically and very strongly that most British people do not want Brexit. I love you very much but I will not allow you to lead Britain into Brexit. 

‘As much as I admire you, I will stop you telepathically from doing this – and believe me I am capable of executing it.

‘Before I take this drastic course of action, I appeal to you to stop the process immediately while you still have a chance.

Uri, who is currently in Israel, used to live in Sonning, which lies in Theresa May’s Maidenhead constituency.

In his letter, he said he had known May, who has since resigned as Prime Minister which took effect on June 7, for 21 years and that she had visited his home.

He added: ‘Three years before you became Prime Minister, I predicted your victory when I showed you Winston Churchill’s spoon on my Cadillac, which I asked you to touch.’
