I think you mean Uri Geller and NO he was a fraud. There are simple tricks and illusions you can perform which might make people think you have psychic powers, but so far there are no scientifically proven cases of psychokinesis, at least not on an "at will" basis.

Hypnosis is sometimes used for medical purposes to relieve anxiety, or otherwise improve or alter behaviour. Its effectiveness has been clinically demonstrated in many areas, most notably in the area of acute pain relief. It is also used in popular stage acts in which subjects are persuaded to perform bizarre feats.
Uri Geller is an Israeli-British performer and celebrity who claimed to have psychic powers for most of his career.
Not mind power it is called Psychokinesis i.e. movement from the mind. It has been called the most powerful of psychic powers, essentially the power of a god. Examples of psychokinesis could include distorting or moving an object, or influencing the output of a random number generator.
According to known science, psychokinesis cannot exist. Research supporting psychokinesis may contain publication bias, fraud, delusion, statistical manipulation of scientific data, or other naturally explainable phenomena.

I once moved a soft toy through the power of my mind. Everyone gasped and could not believe their eyes.

The truth is that I tied a length of thread to the toy and threaded it around some furniture and simply pulled on the thread to move the soft toy.

The simple truth is that you cannot move an object or bend metal through the power of your mind – there has to be some trickery involved.

But, having said that, the mind is very powerful and has the ability to do 'anything' with your body. It can make you fat or thin. Tall or short. Fit or ill. Food taste good or bad. Cigarette smoke smell foul or pleasant (smokers note!),

Don't believe me? Consider this. If we were to smell what we expel from our bodies daily, exactly as it smells to others, including flatulence, then everyone would be constipated. Our mind changes the smell to enable us to bear it. When someone passes wind in public, that person is the only one who can remain with the smell – true?

Hypnosis, or more accurately, Hypnotherapy, uses the power of the mind to change many things. But, in your body (or mind) and certainely not to change objects outside it.

If you mean does the mind have the ability to affect the physical world directly, then the answer is almost certainly yes. The size of the effects tend to be small, generally not reproducible easily upon demand, and highly variable from one person to the next.

There is some evidence that hypnosis can enhance these effects, but much more research would need to be conducted to gain confidence in the existing evidence.

Skeptics will often claim that all such evidence is due to fraud or wishful thinking. They are wrong. There is evidence for mind-matter interactions from targets ranging from photons to single cells to human physiology, and it is published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. It just takes some homework to find these articles, and some education in experimental design and statistics to understand it.

Uri Geller has been proven to be an illusionist, a simple magician, who makes false claims to have psychic and telekinetic powers.

Hypnosis works for some. A practitioner places a subconscious suggestion in a person's mind and they are guided by it — like quitting smoking for example.

Some say the CIA used hypnosis to mind-control Sirhan Sirhan to be close to Robert Kennedy with a gun while another shooter did the assassination, as to this day Sirhan has no memory of the event, nor any history of antipathy toward Kennedy. Then, some say, the CIA used mass hypnosis to make the public believe all the political assassinations of the 1960s against progressives were carried out by "lone nuts."
