I think that would be an incredibly interesting discussion. What does Dr. Vallee actually know about the criticism of notables like Randi, Criss Angel, and Kreskin who explain and replicate Gellar's alleged powers?

What of Gellar's own admission that he does not have any supernatural powers? It is reported that in the November 2007 issue of the German magazine Magische Welt (Magic World), Geller said "I’ll no longer say that I have supernatural powers. I am an entertainer. I want to do a good show. My entire character has changed."

Also, has does it make sense that anyone with the fantastic powers that Gellar once claimed to have, would waste themselves bending spoons and healing toasters for a living? Isn't much more likely that such a person who makes their living entertaining others with their special powers is nothing more than what he appears to be, an entertainer performing an illusion?
