TEL AVIV (Reuters) – Celebrity mystic Uri Geller joined Israel’s campaign to vaccinate its elderly population against COVID-19 on Thursday, performing his spoon-folding trick for medical staff as he was being injected.

“I did it!” Geller, 75, said after the spoon broke in his hand as the needle entered the other arm, to applause from onlookers.

“Anyone over 60 should get it right away,” said Geller, who has a second home in Britain. “It’s very, very important for the entire planet.”

Israel launched its vaccination campaign on December 19 and hopes to have administered the first vaccines and booster shots to the most vulnerable 25% of its population by the end of January.
