Uri Geller (אורי גלר, born Gellér György (Hungarian name) December 20, 1946) is an Israeli-British performer and celebrity who claimed to have psychic powers for most of his career.
In November 2000 Geller filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Nintendo, claiming that the Japanese game-maker turned him into an "evil, occult Pokemon character". The character, a monster named "Yun Geller", carries a spoon and uses psychic mind-waves to give his victims bad headaches; Geller's trademark is the ability to psychically bend spoons.
When Geller renewed his marital vows in 2001, Michael Jackson (I) was his best man.
