uri geller's hobby

uri geller has a hobby which might just become a new hype:



from his website:
"THE GELLER EFFECT - SYMBOL OF PEACE

Uri Geller has created the Geller Effect. The car is his cherished custom-built 1976 Cadillac encrusted with approximately 5,000 pieces of contorted cutlery painstakingly riveted to the car's body. Some of his treasured pieces were owned, used or touched by famous personalities. (See Below).

Many have semi-precious stones and crystals imbedded in them in a most exciting artistic fashion. The bonnet's mascot is a rare rock crystal globe once belonging to the surrealist master Salvador Dali. In addition looking closely it can be seen that some cutlery is carefully arranged to form the signs of the many religions and the symbol of peace adorns the car.



Uri, who lives in Britain, bent some of the cutlery with brainpower and the rest were artfully shaped with his Israeli friend, sculptor Avi Pines, who used physical technical means. They spent over 6 months creating this masterpiece. The ornaments adorning the car include several originals which Uri has salvaged from his 35 year metal bending career. A number come from his personal celebrity collection. The word peace is incorporated into the design in several languages including Arabic and Hebrew."
