I recall watching video of Uri Geller bending spoons and keys...with his mind...but only when he was touching them with his fingers, and only spoons and keys that he supplied himself.
I also recall seeing the fraud on The Tonight Show back in the Johnny Carson days. (Johnny himself was a talented amateur magician.) All Johnny had to do to "temporarily and gosh, I don't know why this is happening" "weaken" Uri's non-existent powers was to make sure that he himself supplied the props and made damned sure that neither Geller or any of his entourage got anywhere near them prior to having Geller walk out on stage.
Geller was nothing more than a fairly competent stage magician who used standard tricks and deceptions to amaze the crowd. The fact that he couldn't do anything remotely amazing or psychic when under the watchful eye of a talented amateur somehow barely slowed Geller's career.
A Canadian professional magician by the name of James Randi (The Amazing Randi!!) has an ongoing challenge to anyone who claims super normal or psychic ability. It started at ten grand and I believe it's now up to one hundred grand. He will pay that sum of money to anyone who can put on a show of psychic or super normal ability that he, as a pro, can't debunk.
He also has an ongoing deal for any psychic who can simply tell him what he has locked up in a simple steel box, by using their psychic ability. Correctly identify the object, said to be a common, everyday household item, and the money is theirs. Randi still has the cash.
Randi has published a book, Flim Flam, about his exposes of various charlatans, "faith healers", psychics and other spoon benders.
I suspect that this "magnetic kid" will go on tour, earn a few bucks and then when exposed, quietly disappear.
