Gller’s dowafall was Ins claim 0 be genuine. James “The Amazing” Randi wrote PSYCHORNETIC TIME ‘numerous artices and books exposing Geller as a fraud. It was alter reading one such book that I put togcther a method for ‘bly bending the tne of a fork. Shortly thereafter, was moving the hands of a watch; however, in Rand's drive to expase Geller, he showed a method of how 10 do this on nationwide television. During my subsequent performance, the commeat I most often heard was “T didn't see you do but T know that you pulled out the stem and secretly moved the ands with some sor of sleight of dnd. [saw Randi do that on TV." 1 eveatally deco that I would have (@ find 2 way 10 convince te spectators that ¥ did nor pull ou the stem, What beter way ‘han fo ask them to name's number afer it was in thir hands and to have the watch move that ay minute?

No, i noL. The choke usually goes something ike (his “Think ofa number trom 60 vo 120" That iit, noching more and nothing es. So read on PSYCHOKINETIC TIME, ‘This effect needs to be broken down into two parts 1) The ‘moving ofthe watch ands, and 2) the free ofthe number. The Ppochology behind both is equally important if it Bw be Performed convincingly and correct. Pay close atteton 10 the Imisirecton.
