As with it's Edinburgh equivalent, the Camden Fringe is in full swing, and Nathan Penlington's Uri and Me is one of the most curious beasts on show – one man's infatuation with the world of Uri Geller. LiF understands that Mr Geller has heard about the show and will be attending one of the shows ...

Here, Nathan introduces the fruits of his obsession: five of his favourite pieces of Uri merchandise.

Uri Geller is world famous for his ability to bend cutlery with the aid of his mind. This ability helped make him one of the biggest brands of the 1970s and an enduring cultural icon. Throughout his 40-year career, Uri has produced a mind-blowing range of memorabilia, including a psychically energised teddy bear and a folding bike. Here is my guide to the Top Five Uri Geller collectables:

1 Uri Geller, the album

In the early 1970s, Uri started writing poetry, “some of them dealing with love or loneliness or sadness or cosmic intelligences”. He showed them to the composer Byron Janis and the result is this awe-inspiring, epic, melancholic new-age pop album released in 1974. I can think of no other album with lyrics of this quality: “Like a tiny drop of tear / that has fallen off the eye of a molecule / yes, it is that little.”

2 Magischer Löffel (Magic Spoon)

This may come as a surprise but Uri has four different board games, one of which was produced by actor William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow in Coronation Street. This one, released in Germany by Matchbox in 1987, is the best though. It consists of a large red and yellow plastic fist clutching a spring-loaded spoon, the players take turns to poke the wrist with two other smaller spoons which releases tokens that have to be placed in the spoon bowl. The first person to bend the spoon loses – which conceptually makes absolutely no sense.

3 Matturi™ Kickboxing Fitness Video

This VHS is a collaboration between martial arts master Matt Fiddes, who takes you through the exercise sections, and Uri Geller who takes you through psychic warm-up sessions. I still feel stupid for not realising that Matturi™ is not a particular kind of kickboxing – but just a combination of the names Matt and Uri. This video also confirms Uri’s position as the leading practitioner of motivational poetry: "You are alive / kick out into the sky / you are alive / punch the clouds / you are alive / leap for the moon."

4 Marvel Comic’s Daredevil #133, May 1976

“A city in danger, and only one man can help – the most shocking guest star of all: the incomparable Uri Geller!” Daredevil, the blind superhero, isn’t able to defeat his latest enemy Mind-Wave, so he calls in help from the world’s most famous psychic. Uri receives a superhero make-over: skin-tight trousers, a polo-neck stretched over his taught muscles, and a blue bouffant hairdo. What more do I need to say?

5 - Positive Energy Watch

Uri first appeared on the home shopping channel QVC in July 2000 with his debut range of crystal-based jewellery. His recent designs incorporate Egyptian, mathematical, scientific and religious symbols of many denominations, often to confusing effect. As to be expected from a man who is known for his ability to stop and start watches it is a very unreliable timepiece, but it does have his name on it five times which makes up for it not working.

Nathan Penlington's Uri and Me is at the Etcetera Theatre as part of the Camden Fringe, between August 12 and 16.
