Hello,
There is a magician in my town that does this fork bend, sometimes with borrowed fork!!! He "visually" bends it, then straightens it back!!! gives it out - ha ha - you cannot bend it yourself! Takes it back, and bends it again... it looks so sick as if the fork becomes liquid but then solidifies and does not bend anymore... I am 99% sure there is a switch involved, and no borrowed forks are actually hurt. I can do the same trick with a coin, but a coin is easier to palm and ditch than a fork! Is this a commercially available trick? Does anyone know if it's in a book or a DVD? Thanks, |

Maybe have a chat with the magician performing the bend. I know some people can feel challenged by other performers, but it can't hurt to try and start a conversation and talk shop.

Maybe a DVD, or a book? Him: No! I am the only one in the world who does this trick!!! Me: *in awe* Him: Have you also seen my very unique and completely original rope trick? Me: *even in greater awe* Him: *performs multiple phase cut and restored rope trick I've seen done by Pop Haydn, Richard Sanders, David Williamson and some stages even myself* So... If a rope trick can be sourced back to a book and couple DVDs, I was hoping the fork trick as well

Wasn't there a silverware bend in Magic with Everday Objects by George Schindler or in The Magic Book by Harry Lorayne? Without seeing a performance Jeid describes,"He "visually" bends it, then straightens it back!!!", to me, sounds like the illusion taught in one of those beginning magic books.

I was hoping there is a book or a dvd that teaches a large object spellbound move or something, which can be applied to forks and spoons. |
