His name was Uri Geller or Yuri Geller - Russian.
It was a trick, he never did the trick under controlled circumstances when tested.

Uri Geller. Although he maintains that he has psychic powers, he is actually a magician. His "spoon-bending" method is as famous as his failures, most notable on the Tonight Show on a national TV audience. Novice magician Johnny Carson stumped the psychic simply by selecting his own spoons and not letting Geller or his staff near them.

Randi the Magician, famous for debunking psychic and paranormal phenomena, was able to reproduce just about all of Uri Geller's tricks.

Correct spelling: Uri Geller (pronounced 'oor-ee'); native Israeli. Visited USA in mid-'70s. Very convincing in person; also did other feats. Skeptics really slammed him as a stage act, but having read his autobiography, I remain convinced at least some of what he demonstrated was genuine.

his name was uri geller and he was a magician, he didn't use his mind to bend the spoons. the trick could easily be reproduced by a guy who went around debunking him (the Amazing Randi) -- whole thing was a hoax.

No one. Uri Geller claimed that he could, but if you watch a videotape of him doing it, you'll see that he actually uses his hands.
