Uri Geller has pledged a psychic counterattack against a self-styled Ghanaian witch doctor who claims to be working to derail England captain Harry Kane ahead of the World Cup match between the two nations. The TV mystic insists he can neutralise any alleged spiritual interference targeting the Bayern Munich striker.
Ghanaian Spiritualist Targets Kane
Nana Kwaku Bonsam, a Ghanaian spiritualist known for making similar claims before major football matches, said he was attempting to disrupt Kane's goalscoring form before the meeting with England. Bonsam stated: "I am working on Harry Kane. I am not wishing him serious injury. It will be just enough to stop him against my country. I will do my work so that it can help Ghana."
Geller's Response and Method
Geller quickly responded to Bonsam's claims, vowing to use his own spiritual powers to protect Kane. According to reports, Geller said he has experience dealing with witch doctors during previous visits to South Africa and is confident he can counter Bonsam's efforts. Speaking to the Daily Star, Geller explained: "I will cancel it; I can do that. Before the match, I will send vibrations. I will activate all my powers, all my energy, all my know-how to stop his negative vibrations from hitting Harry Kane."
Geller's plan involves focusing his energy on photographs of both Kane and Bonsam before kick-off. He intends to print the images and place an "X" over the spiritualist's picture to block any alleged influence.
Scientific Justification
Geller referenced Albert Einstein's famous equation to explain his approach. He said: "Albert Einstein came up with a fantastic scientific equation; he wrote E = MC². Einstein proved that everything in the universe is made from energy. Energy cannot be stopped, energy vibrates, and we are all energy beings."
Kane's World Cup Form
The unusual off-field battle comes as England look to continue their strong start to the tournament. Kane heads into the Ghana match in impressive form after scoring twice in England's opening 4-2 victory over Croatia. The striker's brace took him to 10 World Cup goals, drawing level with Gary Lineker's long-standing England record. Victory over Ghana would move England closer to qualification for the knockout stages, while Kane has the chance to become his country's outright leading scorer in World Cup history.
