Press Release Body: Uri Geller could lay claim to Criss Angel\'s $1,000,000.00
challenge on national TV according to paranormalist Dick Brooks, director and head
of Houdini Museum.

On Wednesday night November 15th, Criss Angel challenged Uri Geller $1,000,000.00 on
the finale of NBC\'s nationally televised \"Phenomonon\" to tell Angel what was in a
sealed envelope and then quickly cut Geller off when he appeared to intuitively
begin zoning in on it\'s content. What was in the sealed envelope were the numbers
911. When Criss Angel (39) asked Geller (60) what was in the envelope Geller for
some reason began rattling of dates that unknown to Geller were zoning in on the
contents. Uri said Angel was born on the 19th, just 1 day prior to Geller\'s
birthday. He then said that he had bent his 1st spoon when Angel was 1 (years old.)
A nervous Angel, who knew what was in the envelope quickly cut Geller off, and
diverted attention by quickly opening the envelope.

On yet another recent show Angel again challenged co-host Uri Geller as to what was
in the envelope. Criss explained "I will give you a million dollars of my personal
money right now if ........ you can tell me specific details of what's in here right
now," Uri seemed willing to try but the show moved on. Criss never proved that he
had, or brought in the million dollars of his personal money.

On that same show Angel also challenged paranormalist Jim Callahan to tell what was
in the envelope. An altercation exploded on national television. Callahan later
said \"I accepted the challenge through the producers of the PHENOMENON show, s well
as publicly on the NBC forum\", \"The only stipulation I made was that they confirm
Angel had the million to pay out on live television as he said he would. I would
turn over my prediction to the host to be read before Angel opened his. I assured
the producers that if he had the cash I would take it from him on the show live. But
alas no proof Angel has a million in liquid assets to pay out as per his
contention.\"

Dick Brooks, psychic investigator, and a director of the renowned Houdini Museum
dedicated to the legendary magician, in Scranton, PA is continuing to follow up on
the story as it develops. Dick Brooks is also a nationally known paranormalist,
and director of Scranton\'s Psychic Theater. He has been called by many a
\"Supernormalist.\" The theater is currently presenting America\'s longest running and
well reviewed paranormal show and seance. It is a three hour plus evening with
experiments in mind control, telepathy, psychokinesis, sightless vision, mentalism
that ends with an attempt at recreating an old time seance. The presentation tells
the story of the hauntings in the building going back to the Houdini era that were
caused by various events that included a murder, suicide, and electrocution. The
show explores the pros and cons of such events.
