Mr Geller, renowned for his spoon-bending prowess, has decided to apply for a job in Boris Johnson’s administration. The 73-year-old psychic was responding to an apparent job advert posted by Mr Johnson’s key adviser Dominic Cummings, which called on “weirdos” to apply for positions in Downing Street. The advert stated that Number 10 wants to hire an “unusual set of people with different skills and backgrounds” to work as special advisers and potentially officials.

Mr Cummings called for “weirdos and misfits with odd skills”, data scientists and policy experts to apply to a gmail account if they think they fit the bill.

In his covering letter the British-Israeli TV star claimed that he had been an agent for the FBI and CIA.

He claimed that his career in entertainment had simply been a cover for his long standing intelligence work.

Mr Geller wrote: “While many have doubted my abilities, my achievements cannot be dismissed as trickery or illusions.

“In my intelligence work I assisted with Operation Desert Storm, helped to locate secret tunnels in North Korea, and used my skills to erase crucial diplomatic discs on their way to Moscow.”

He also boasted of using his special powers to help Mr Johnson crush Jeremy Corbyn in December’s election and said he would have been an asset in Brexit negotiations with Michel Barnier, if he had been called upon.

A source close to the TV star told the Daily Telegraph that the famous psychic was deadly serious about his application .

The source said: “Uri is 100 percent serious about taking up a role in Government.

“He concedes that his application might be one of the more unusual received by Dominic Cummings but hopes that he can see the potential value of having Uri on board.

“He is particularly keen on using his powers to tackle growing tensions in the Middle East.”

The British-Israeli does have links to the CIA who carried out a number of tests on his psychic powers.

In a series of declassified documents published in 2017, the CIA revealed the results of a number of experiments it conducted on Mr Geller over eight days in 1973.

He was tested for “clairvoyant” or “telepathic” abilities as part of the “Stargate” programme, aimed at weaponising what the CIA called “remote viewing” and trying to recruit so-called psychic warriors.

Mr Geller has claimed that his feats are the result of paranormal powers given to him by extraterrestrials.

He shot to fame after an appearance on British television in 1972, when he bent the nation’s cutlery and prompted stopped clocks to restart.

Mr Cummings announced his new recruitment drive on his blogpost.

He wrote: “We want to hire an unusual set of people with different skills and backgrounds to work in Downing Street with the best officials, some as spads and perhaps some as officials.”

He lists seven categories, of which “weirdos and misfits with odd skills” features as number seven.

In his description of what he is looking for in this category, he writes:

“We need some true wild cards, artists, people who never went to university and fought their way out of an appalling hell hole, weirdos from William Gibson novels like that girl hired by Bigend as a brand ‘diviner’ who feels sick at the sight of Tommy Hilfiger or that Chinese-Cuban free runner from a crime family hired by the KGB.

“By definition I don’t really know what I’m looking for but I want people around No10 to be on the lookout for such people.

“We need to figure out how to use such people better without asking them to conform to the horrors of ‘Human Resources’ (which also obviously need a bonfire).”
