    Suddenly, Mr. Geller seemed like a workaday huckster and the world seemed a little duller.

    Boo-fucking-hoo. Harmless entertainment my ass. Geller himself may not have harmed anyone but people who believe he has powers will also easily believe a bunch of other nonsense. That’s why Randi was mad at him until the end.
