Boris Johnson no doubt believes his promise to ‘Get Brexit Done’ secured him a landslide election victory, but the magician Uri Geller has claimed that he played a part.
The British-Israeli magician, who lives in Tel Aviv, was interviewed on today’s This Morning, claiming he influenced the results of last week’s General Election, helping the Tories to win 365 seats.
Uri, who gained fame in the early 2000s with his ability to bend spoons with the power of his mind, said he couldn’t ‘let Jeremy Corbyn win,’ and claimed he influenced the results of the election by gifting Boris Johnson a spoon that he had energised with positivity.
While Ruth and Eamon struggled to keep a straight face during the exchange, viewers were not amused by the claims.
Eamon Holmes and Ruith Langford interviewed Uri in a tongue-in-cheek exchange on This Morning today
British-Israeli magician Uri Geller, claimed he swayed the General Election in favour of Boris Johnson by sending him an energised spoon
The magician claimed he ‘concentrated very hard,’ on the spoon before he gifted it to the Prime Minister ahead of the December 12 vote.
Uri, who was on air via satellite, said he couldn’t let Jeremy Corbyn win the election, alluding to accusations that the Labour leader had failed to tackle anti-Semitism within the party.
Eamonn Holmes told him: ‘Let me tell you this, my friend, and the CIA is there with the evidence, political interference in the UK is illegal, if you come in this country you’ll be nabbed’.
However, Uri philosophised that while he believed he had a part to play in Boris Johnson’s win, this could not be proven by authorities.
In the satellite interview,
‘Interfering with politics, the very big question is “can you prove it?”. Can you prove that my energy stopped Corbyn and that the spoon I gave Boris Johnson made him the Prime Minister in a huge way? I believed in it,’ he said.
He went on to say he wholeheartedly ‘believed in [his] powers to seal the fate of the election, and said that if he needed to answer for interfering with politics, he would do so ‘in [his] own terms.’
Uri started by showing a ‘certificate’ from the CIA proving his magical abilities.
Proudly showing off the certificate to the screen, he read aloud: ‘We consider he’s demonstrated his paranormal conceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner.’
He also claimed during the interview that he influenced the outcome of a football game between Scotland and England, and said he moved the football away from Gary McAllister, even thought it was ‘highly unethical.’
Viewers were not amused by Uri Geller’s segment, with some even asking why he was given airtime
Viewers were only mildly amused by Uri’s segment, with some questioning why he even made it on the show.
‘Omg they will have any crackpot on this programme, won’t they,’ another joked.
‘Well that was fascinating wasn’t it,’ one quipped.
‘Why hasn’t Uri solved the plastic in the oceans with his powerful mind,’ another said.
