The Spoon Mind Bend Dinner Table Magic Trick

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Greg from Expert Village and today I'm going to teach you some magic tricks that you can do around the dinner table. Bending a spoon with your mind, take a spoon, place it in your hand just so its balanced on your next finger. Apply pressure with the flesh of your thumb, press with your thumb into the bowl of the spoon and it's bent. So when I do the trick it's all but misdirection, hold up your hand, it only takes half of second to do. So you can point it at yourself, point at someone, whatever, it's done already, don't reveal it immediately just give a second so people kind of relax and say oh what is he doing. Yeah, it's a great trick, enjoy that trick, it's very easy to do, make sure though that you test the spoon before you actually try to perform the trick, because it can end up being like titanium or something and no matter what you can bend that spoon. Then also when you straighten the spoon back out, don't just do it with one hand, make a big show of straighten it back out as it is difficult to bend a spoon, it's all about acting, theater."
