Mr Geller has claimed credit for England's fortunes so far, insisting that his powers made German forward Thomas Müller miss a certain goal against the Three Lions on Tuesday.
Matt was skeptical: "That was you? It wasn't somehow that the ground was wet?"
"There is no doubt in my mind," the mystic insisted, adding that the "massive power of the fans" helped him fulfil the task.
"I was a catalyst, I was an enabler," he concluded, suggesting he will do the same against Ukraine.
