Now, he is seeking a protégé in a live talent show.

Each week contestants are challenged to demonstrate their mystifying entertainment skills on celebrity guests and the studio audience. In search of talent, charisma, showmanship and stage presence, Geller judges the performances, however, the ultimate decision is left to the viewers at home. Each week they vote for the most riveting performer.
Only three will make it to the final, and only one will have a shot at fame and fortune as the anointed successor.
