Recently I invented a trick where you pull a paper clip out of your pocket, hold it between your fingers, and it just bends, right there in front of the spectator. This trick needs NO cover, and no special gimmicks. Has this already been done?

P.S. The demo video is too large to post as an attachment, and my website server won't let me post anything over 500k, so if you want to see it, PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

Sounds sort of like Morgan's Streblers "The Opener" but I don't have that either, so I wouldn't know. Your trick sounds cool, though.

Sounds interesting. I don't know if Morgan's is impromptu. Dose anyone know.

Daniel Garcia's ebook titled NEXT has an impromptu paper clip bending item. His ebook is available through http://www.magic-notes.com

My routine is similar to Morgan's, only it doesn't move as slow. The paper clip bends faster than the eye can catch. Can't say much more without revealing it.

Thanks! Can you post a video?

I would like to see a vid of it also.
and morgan;s routien is not impromptu. it needs gimmick - self made.

Are you sure? :S I remember it being impromptu... 1.5 second setup. Pretty much.

Yeah, it is a quick setup. You can do it very quickly. But the fact that there is a setup means it's not impromptu. Almost, but not quite.

Thanks for the info!

Like I said above, I can't post a video.

After watching the demo video, I found out how Morgan's works, and it does require a special paper clip. Mine has a setup, but it is something you can do between your fingers without anyone noticing. It works with any paper clip.
