Renowned Israeli mentalist Uri Geller is taking credit for shifting the Ever Given cargo ship, which created an international crisis after getting stuck in the Suez Canal last week.

Geller called on his supporters to help "free" the ship.
In a tweet on Monday, Geller wrote: "We did it! We released the Ship! Well done! This was a mammoth task but with your mind-power and self belief we all together freed the ship!"
Geller added that efforts by himself and his followers also helped efforts by the crews on the ground, and congratulated them, as well.
Geller also shared an article from the British Daily Star tabloid in which he said that every day since the ship had gotten stuck, blocking traffic through the small but crucial shipping route and sending global shipping costs skyrocketing, he and his followers had "concentrated" twice a day – at 11:11 a.m. and 11:11 p.m. – on freeing the ship.
The efforts helped the tugboats, too, Geller told the Daily Star.
In a video he posted to social media, Geller said that the ship could be moved by people's minds, if "we believe in ourselves."
