Uri Geller, the world's most celebrated mentalist, who has been mystifying audiences for decades with his spoon-bending, clock-stopping and telepathic abilities.

Now, he is seeking
a protégé in the most extraordinary talent show ever seen on television. Hosted by a well-known TV personality, the studio-based competition sees nine hopefuls compete LIVE in a variety of mind-bending, riveting acts to prove to Geller they have what it takes to be named his successor.

Each week the contestants are challenged to demonstrate their phenomenal and inexplicable abilities on celebrity guests and the studio audience.
From mind control effects such as making the celebrities imagine different flavors in their mouths on command, to Russian-roulette style stunts and breath-taking moments such as one contestant actually stopping his heartbeat.

In search of talent, charisma, showmanship and stage presence, Geller will judge the performances and award immunity to the contestant who astounded him the most on each show.
However, the ultimate decision is left to the viewers at home.

Each week they vote for the most riveting performer. The contestant receiving the fewest votes is eliminated from the competition.
Only three will make it to the electrifying finale, and only one will have a shot at fame and fortune as the anointed successor.

But the excitement doesn't stop there… On each live show Geller also tests the intuitive abilities of the home audience giving viewers an opportunity to participate and experience first hand the effects of the extraordinary abilities demonstrated on the show.

The suspense continues when at the end of the season a lucky viewer gets to participate in an intuition challenge for a chance to win a grand cash prize.
