The Successor (TV program)

The Successor (also known as The Next Uri Geller) is an Israeli television competition program in which contestants perform acts of mentalism, illusion, escapism and other feats before a live studio audience.

The program was subsequently remade in the United States under the title Phenomenon, co-hosted by illusionist Criss Angel.

The program has been televised in multiple countries worldwide, including Canada, Latin America, Australia and Finland.

In late 2007, the show was introduced to the United States, under the name of Phenomenon, co-starring Criss Angel, and hosted by British TV presenter Tim Vincent.

The show was notable for the 31 October 2007 controversy when Criss Angel challenged Geller and contestant Jim Callahan to prove they had supernatural abilities.
