John Taylor was a professor at King's College.

John Taylor was a professor at King's College. He was one of two scientists, along with South African zoologist and anthropologist Lyall Watson, who witnessed Uri Geller's demonstrations live on BBC television's Dimbleby Talk-In show. During the broadcast, Geller bent and broke a fork, started a broken watch, and reproduced a drawing hidden in a sealed envelope1.

Professor Taylor expressed wonder at Geller's abilities, stating, "I believe this process... I believe that you actually broke the fork here and now." This public endorsement from a scientist contributed to the phenomenon of "conversion moments" occurring on live television, where individuals became convinced of Geller's powers1.
