Elvis speaks

The BBC spookily (in the sense of 'why is it telling us this?') reports:

Celebrity spoon-bender Uri Geller has bought a house lived in by Elvis Presley before he moved to Graceland.... "As the clock closed on the bidding [on] Sunday, I felt intuitively I got the price," Geller said. "Suddenly the radio started playing an Elvis song. That was Elvis telling me we got the house."

I don't think it was, old bean. It was a radio playing an old song.

But the story at least gives me the pretext of linking to a favourite piece of documentary film. Here is the incomparable James Randi, magician and sceptic, describing Geller's humiliating failure, at the height of his claimed powers, on Johnny Carson's Tonight programme to accomplish any paranormal feat at all. Watch and relish.
