    I distinctly remember watching this when it aired. I was 12 years old. It was summer vacation time and one of the few occasions my parents let me stay up that late. Up until that point, I was a fan of Geller. Like many kids (and adults too) I was naive and fell for his con. I thought he was a really cool dude with genuine psychic abilities. Well, thanks to Carson, his grift was exposed. I was so angry and disappointed but also grateful that I had gained fraud awareness from it. It was one of those "growing up" moments you begin to experience at that pre-teen age. Thank you for that, Johnny! ❤

    Johnny did an excellent job of exposing this fraud. His friend, magician and psychic skeptic James Randi, instructed Johnny and his staff to not let Geller or his associates near the items on the table. As such, Geller was unable to manipulate the items prior to his spot. The appearance didn't destroy Geller's career, but it did cause it to fade from prominence.

      I love the way the fraudster tries, however. He realises from the beginning that he's basically f...ed, to employ professional magician terminology. So he switches to choosing canisters that DON'T have the water, where he starts with a 9 out of 10 chance of being right, then 8 of 9, and 7 of 8. Meanwhile he's talking, doing shtick, filibustering, and practically begging Johnny to ask more questions, as he hopes to run out the clock. He also hits upon the idea of asking the other guest to take the canister Geller chooses. There is no intelligible reason other than to hope the guest will clumsily touch other cannisters, which he dare not do himself with the camera and Johnny right on him. That indeed happens, and of course Geller then makes a show of admonishing him to be careful, etc. But after getting lucky 3 times, Geller chickens out and switches to the spoon bs, while looking for an opportunity, no doubt, to give the table a little kick. I think he actually manages that at the third commercial break, but by this time he's ready to play out the clock.

Some kind of metal, that could melt really easily, and the students would play pranks by creating spoons out of this metal that would melt in their fellow students' soup. You ever hear of anything like that Uri?"
