Uri Geller Card Trick

by REMTARDROYAL » 20 Nov 2012 14:02

I'm getting old but one of my most distinctive memories as a kid was Uri Geller doing a magic card trick at Elm Park it it being pretty ridiculous. It's come up elsewhere in the board but doesn't appear on google or anything ...

Can someone fill in the details for me please?

Wasn;t there a Uri Gellar special where he claimed he was going to use his powers to help us win games? We went/were on a terrible losing streak or something...

Just remember the red cards being held up when the player got sent off. No idea who we were playing or what the score was.

yeh but that was an England game, this was a Tv show and he was filmed in the crowd at elm park saying he was going to help the ball towards the goal.

It never worked.

There was also stuff of him at his home in Sonning, I'm guessing it was some sort of biographical programme by these recollections.

From AE

RTR This was mid-90s, a distant and heady time, britpop on the radio, global hypercolour just receding from the thoughts of the fashion conscious. Reading's number 1 celebrity fan, Uri Geller gave everyone in the stands a set of cards. At half time, he basically psychically projected a color and thought the entire stand would all pick the same card.

They didn't.

We won 1-0 to an own goal iirc and a player got sent off. The stand then all did pick one color card to show as the guy trudged off the pitch.

some details may be incorrect.


Maguire has windmilled in with

Maguire Derby County, 94/95 season IIRC.

og scored by Kavanagh (?) in front of the Town End. Actually don't bother looking that up, i'm sure it was a Kavanagh. Volleyed a cross neatly into his own net.


further recollection

RTR It might have been Derby and it might have been the goal at

I remember Eric Cantona's father sitting next to Uri Geller. Cantona did some piss take celebration after he scored

Wasn't it 2002 that we'd drawn 10 games on the bounce at the end of the season and he claimed he got us promoted after our last day draw at Brentford?

*pedant mode on*

9 draws in the last 10 - we had a 2-0 win at Saltergate in either the 3rd or 4th game of that run.

I remember them talking about Gellar on Have I Got News For You one week and Angus Deayton said that he was helping us through "positive energy" at which point they cut away to a picture of the league table which showed we were bottom.
