The video shown here is from 2007, but it's been making the rounds again. It shows a skateboarder attempting what I assume is a moderately difficult move, and failing a few times before finally suceeding. Uri Geller is on scene, and it's hard to tell if he's helping the lad or merely getting in the way.
From this clip, we've learned that Geller believes he has a magic Sharpie, the ability to lubricate wheels, and the power to remove negative influences from concrete. Apparently, these powers aren't working all that well, because it takes him several tries.
Watch the skater in the clip... especially his eyes. What are they saying? It looks to me like they're saying "Who is this clown, and how can I get rid of him?" He seems relieved when Geller finally walks away with another "success" under his belt.
I don't think the kid actually believed that Uri helped, but consider if he did... all his future successes are now Geller's. If we're to believe Geller, the skater was unable to complete his mission without Geller's "help," and at the end, Geller declared him a "champion." Should this young skater go pro and make a career of it... Geller can take credit. Pathetic.
If you were to edit this clip and remove Geller entirely, you'd see a boy applying persistence, tenacity, and much more skill than I'd ever manage to finally accomplish his goal. It's a shame he had to have the experience ruined by a "mystifier."
