The Houdini magic auction at Butterfield &

ethical auctions we've attended but all 365 lots apparently sold for close
to $650,000. Ad to that total the buyer's premium and sales tax and more
than three-quarters of a million dollars was spent. There were many
bargains to be had as most of the items were sold below the low estimate
published in the catalog. Bid prices ranged from $20 for a newspaper
clipping to $55,000 for a handcuff collection.(11/17)

An article about Uri Geller in the
Philadelphia Daily News quotes The Amazing Randi as saying, "Why did
he hold it in two hands? ...Now, I'm 72 years of age and I can hold as
much as a dozen spoons in one hand. . .But he always picks it up in two
hands and walks across the room. He has to turn his back to you and walk
away. At that point he puts a bend to it." To read the Nov. 12

Uri Geller is featured in USA Today with a
lengthy article to promote his new book Mind Medicine. Explaining about
his doubters he said, "Look, I'm brash and outspoken, so some people
are frightened, and some maybe even anti-Semitic. I don't understand the
resentment, ...I am not a healer, prophet or guru. I am simply a trigger,
a catalyst, an enabler to your powers." He also plans to sell his $8
million home and move into "a French-made, solar-powered, wooden hut
that looks like a spaceship." At the end of the article Geller
Confesses, "I am sick and tired of bending spoons." To read the
