Radish, Mitchell’s opinion is really quite irrelevant here. Geller didn’t do anything any moderately competent stage magician couldn’t do. I remember an interview with James Randi in Omni magazine a long time ago, where Randi said “give me a key, I’ll show you metal bending.” The writer said “I was proud that I caught the moment when he hand dipped beneath the table - presumably to bend the key.” But a while later in the conversation, Randi suddenly said, “take out your key chain.”
Every key on it was bent.
