Uri Geller rose to fame in the 1970s by staring at spoons and apparently bending them with his psychic powers.
But while he was wowing TV audiences, did he have an even more amazing career -- working as a spy for the CIA and Mossad?
A new British documentary, "The Secret Life Of Uri Geller –- Psychic Spy?," contends that Geller was recruited to work with U.S. intelligence agencies to help in a “psychic arms race” with the U.S.S.R. during the Cold War.
“When Jimmy Carter was elected President, one of the first things he did was to have Uri Geller give him a four hour briefing on the Soviet psychic threat. America didn’t want a psychic gap and Uri was the go-to guy about these things,” filmmaker Vikram Jayanti told the Independent.
