Lior Manor stopped the biggest countdown
watch in Israel on Dec. 29 at 10pm as a publicity stunt on one of
Israel's highest rated TV talk shows. After concentrating for around
45 seconds he made the clock stop for one minute and then restored
it to normal. This caused even more interest as it was reported on
TV, radio and in newspapers. Manor is known for these types of
stunts. In the more than 100 TV appearances he has already predicted
election results, lottery numbers, performed blindfold drives,
stopped pulses, etc...(1/3)

Uri Geller's Tonight Show appearance
gets some press. Speaking of Jay Leno Geller said, "He's a
complicated, very powerful man... I tried with Jay, but it didn't
work. Then I tried it with Tim Robbins, and it worked. I think
actors are more sensitive people." Speaking of his last
appearance on the Tonight Show in 1973 with Johnny Carson when
nothing worked he said, "It just proves to you that I'm not a
magician, I'm not a machine."
