Trivia

In November 2000 Geller filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Nintendo, claiming that the Japanese game-maker turned him into an "evil, occult Pokemon character". The character, a monster named "Yun Geller", carries a spoon and uses psychic mind-waves to give his victims bad headaches; Geller's trademark is the ability to psychically bend spoons.

When Geller renewed his marital vows in 2001, Michael Jackson was his best man.

Is vegetarian.

Is the chairman of English third division football club Exeter City

Fan of Elvis Presley.

Tried to buy the first house Elvis Presley ever owned, on Audubon Drive in Nashville. Geller tried to weasel out of the deal and change the terms of the sale after placing a winning bid of $905,000 on Ebay in 2006. The sellers then sold the home to entertainment mogul Mike Curb. Geller filed a lawsuit and lost on all counts in a ruling on June 18, 2007. (As a psychic, why didn't he see this coming?).

Father of Natalie Geller and Daniel Geller.
