The illusionist Uri Geller has spoken openly about his rocky relationship with Michael Jackson.

In an interview with Channel 4 News, Geller admitted hypnotising the late pop star to question him about the child abuse allegations that dogged his final years.

Geller stated that although he knew questioning Jackson under hypnosis was unethical, hearing him deny the accusations while in a trance confirmed innocence in his eyes.

Geller also admitted arguing with Jackson after introducing him to the journalist Martin Bashir in 2002. Bashir’s much criticised documentary ‘Living With Michael Jackson’ came as a result of the meeting.

The news of their falling out appears to confirm rumours that it had been many years since Geller actually met with Michael Jackson.

Why has Uri Geller's opinion got to do with anything? The bloke is obviously a fantasist, self-publicist and a proven fraud. Giving him a platform only encourages the spoon bending wierdo.

I meant to say "What" not "why"! Uri Geller managed to bend my sentence while I wasn't looking and now that old watch I've had for years that many watch repairers had dismissed as a lost cause has started working!

If Geller really did hypnotize MJ, it doesn't prove a thing as to MJ's innocence because hypnosis is not a truth serum. You can lie while hypnotized and any ethical and properly trained hypnotist knows that.

Also, if Geller knew it was unethical to hypnotize MJ, why did he go ahead and do it? This is just another misuse of hypnotism that keeps people in need of it scared to use it.

If for no other reason, Geller should be censored out of the news media forever!

Why would a mind reader need to hypnotize his subject?

Geller hypnotized MJ when he was recording Invincible. This was 2000/2001 and has no bearing on the court case years later.

Here come Pepsi and hair not heir of Mike. It was the last day of shooting for a Pepsi commercial at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in 1984, (The Book the Book the BOOK) and the only hiccup had been an argument between Michael Jackson and an ad executive over whether the young superstar would take off his sunglasses. "Then," as the executive later wrote, "we set his hair on fire."
