For years, renowned psychic Uri Geller has captivated audiences around the world with mysterious feats of psychic spoon-bending, watch-starting, and clock-stopping. Now, he has created an art car called the Geller Effect, a custom-built 1976 Cadillac decorated with some 5,000 pieces of contorted cutlery, attached to the car's body. Often imbedded with semi-precious stones and crystals, many pieces were once owned, used, or touched by famous personalities. The hood ornament is a rare rock crystal globe once owned by surrealist painter, Salvador Dali. Geller bent much of the cutlery with his legendary psychic powers, while the rest were manually shaped by his Israeli friend and sculptor, Avi Pines. The Geller Effect includes several original pieces salvaged from his 25 years of metal bending, plus a number from his personal celebrity collection. The word "peace" is incorporated into the design in several languages, including Arabic and Hebrew. Geller will drive the Geller Effect to Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran in support of peace in the Middle East.
