That's especially why Gellar doesn't really seem all that important. All he really does is claim some magic tricks are "real", and on the harmful-bullshit-scale it probably rates pretty low.
- NikkiA 3y agoISTR Copperfield does the same with most of his tricks, although everyone is aware he didn't actually make the statue of liberty disappear, or step through a wall. I think it's because Geller's claims are small enough to not be obvious BS to everyone, yet they are obvious BS to most people.
- cubefox 3y agoAs far as I'm aware Copperfield never claimed to have psychic powers.
