Thank you so much for posting this link! Great interview of a great (and humble) man.

One year ago, I posted a question and answer from this interview
in one of the mentalism forums here at the Café,
hoping it might generate some interesting discussion.

It didn't.

Interesting...

when I read those lines while reading the interview I thought that Gardner was totally wrong.
Spoon bending has a huge appeal - when I perform informally that is the first thing people ask to see me do...
