Israeli illusionist and mentalist Uri Geller , known for his bending steel spoons trick, claims he was the one who pulled the Ever Given container ship stranded in the Suez Canal from the shallows.
Geller argued that with the support of those who believe in his abilities, he could “bend the ship” and unblock the waterway. Somewhat later, it became known that the vessel was removed from the aground with the help of tugs and sent along the fairway in a northerly direction.
But the illusionist insists on his own: “I gave myself the intention to focus on the ship at 11:11 pm. Believe it or not, but at 11:14 the ship was moved. “
Ever Given ran aground in the Suez Canal, which connects the Mediterranean and Red Sea, on 23 March. According to the Japanese company operating the vessel, the accident was due to strong winds. The 400-meter container ship completely blocked traffic, resulting in a traffic jam of hundreds of ships.
According to experts, daily losses as a result of ship downtime amounted to at least $ 9.6 billion daily. Amid the incident, the cost of freight soared, and the price of oil rose by 2%.
Geller decided to “help” unblock the sea route after several unsuccessful attempts by rescuers to move the stuck ship from its place.
A 74-year-old Israeli citizen Uri Geller, who began his career as a magician in the late 1960s, claimed to be an envoy of space, and his main mission was to save humanity from an impending nuclear catastrophe.
In recent years, Geller has lived in the UK and rarely performs in public.
