URI Geller, a TV psychic known for his ability to bend cutlery, has claimed that he gave Boris Johnson a magic spoon ahead of his success in the UK General Election.
The magician, who predicted in 1992 that missing Hungarian model Helga Farkas would be found safe and sound, and who subsequently was never seen again, tweeted that he had met with Johnson's team ahead of the election.
Geller, who once claimed he was sent to earth by extraterrestrials from a spaceship fifty-three thousand light years away, said: "Met with #borisjohnson's team, gave @BorisJohnson a spoon which belonged to Golda Meir. I energised this spoon with #PositiveEnergy as part of my strategy with the #mindpower of the #UK public to ensure that #JeremyCorbyn did NOT end up as #primeminister!"

The spoon-bender, who infamously appeared on The Tonight Show in 1973 and was unable to bend any spoons provided by sceptic James Randi that he wasn't allowed to touch beforehand, said in Januray that he would use "telepathic powers" to stop Corbyn from becoming the next Prime Minister.
The celebrity psychic, who once lived in a mansion in Berkshire and was allegedly caught manipulating a compass with a magnet on his thumb on the 2006 show The Successor, previously claimed that he predicted Theresa May's success in 2014 too.
In a similar move in 1997, Geller placed "energy-infused crystals" at the grounds of Exeter City football club to help the Second Division team achieve success in a crucial end of season game. They lost 5-1.
So... it's hard to say if Geller's attempt to undermine democracy, with magic and a spoon that allegedly belonged to a former Prime Minister of Israel, played a role in helping Boris Johnson achieve his parliamentary majority.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
