Uri Geller, an illusionist, released a statement earlier today in regards to the Kadabra ban. Geller got into a dispute with Nintendo surrounding Kadabra 20 years ago. Due to such, Kadabra pretty much disappeared from the TCG, and appearances were either limited or avoided within the anime itself. Geller believed that Kadabra was based on him, especially his spoon-bending tricks, and was not notified by the creators themselves. This prompted him to take legal action in 2000 where he requested Pokemon to stop using Kadabra within the TCG. After 20 years, Geller tweeted out a statement mentioning he was releasing the ban and apologized for his actions. You can check out his tweet below.
Kadabra is now free!
