about a thousand six years ago I learned
the traditional old-fashioned spoon band
the parted table to be on the table I'll
show you that just a second
ah and it was fine at the classic
beginners trick and actually learning
how to bend a spoon even without a URI
or hurry Geller in the world in that
whole mystic saying nori how to bend a
spoon I think it's a cool thing I mean
because it's restaurants bars is
sanatoriums wherever you are you're
bound to find a spoon and however if you
lose you want to make sure they're
sturdy spoons I've done this before and
then it's nothing like doing that
quickly doing a spoon Bend and then the
spectator picks up their spoon and bends
it as well it's sort of lackluster it's
like I'm going to read your mind you
think of three diamonds and they go oh
yeah well I remember that I'm reading
your mind or remember your first date
with Lucille and you go to a cold sweat
they went up here you don't want that so
yeah the original spoon Ben was cool
I'll show it in a second it's okay but
it's kind of difficult and I really
wanted to create something that had a
flow to it
where I like to do this where we like to
do this is as a throwaway it's one of
these things so on at a table I pick up
off the table and others say you know
either we'll talk about okay hey how you
guys doing it Jay and I lucky actually
my first table or your my third table or
your my 107th table tonight and I saw I
got to make sure I'm strong when we work
out a bit and I'll do the spoon then is
it's like fertile do it really slowly as
a spoon band as if I'm working at my mom
first let's look at the traditional
standard spoon bed the way it's supposed
to look is where you grab the spoon okay
and they see it there and then you push
down on the table and as you push down
it looks like a totally flattened it of
course and then you pick it up and you
spin it forward down straight now it's a
nice little illusion but it is a bit
heavy-handed excuse the pun because you
got this whole I mean this grip seems a
bit over-the-top for me what you're
doing is this okay there's the side you
is you're not grabbing it in your fist
like that what in fact you're doing is
grabbing it with the pinky behind the
fist okay so from the front if you keep
it moving first you grab here the pinky
grab
bass okay you got that there and this on
top and obviously you don't just do this
and people go what is going on there
that is some want to go to Salvador Dali
illusion or something weird you do this
and this okay it's parent you've got it
but that's really what's going on okay
and then when you press down and you can
go quickly or you could go slowly a
little bit of shake thing is if you're
using all your might okay so but notice
how angry that it's you know unless
pretty much anybody on what I call the
Australian or Christian side is able to
see post first on those two terms have
come together to see that so it's pretty
angry and there's a finish you kind of
just bring it up after bending it didn't
and in the flurry of it you kind of
diffuse and you're back to this so
that's the original and it's kind of
clumsy and kind of angry so I was
playing with this many many years ago
and I realized what I wanted to look
like if I wanted it look like I came
over and bent the head of the spoon down
boom and I was actually playing with a
cheap tin spoon and I realized wait a
second this natural position of the hand
holding the neck and this I can do this
and it'll look exactly like I just bent
the spoon the way it normally would look
if you're really bent it but of course
I'm not saying what in fact I'm doing
using a very similar principle to the
old-fashioned one but much better on
angles is the exposed view is unbending
it forward and it's bending up okay
bending up behind the hand now you
really should practice this because you
have to decide do I want to come over
and do it the shaky firm kind of slow
bend while I'm letting it again lever up
just on the first top of the index or do
I want to do the shaking slow thing or
do I want to do a real kind of quick
boom just boom boom what I like to you
can do this and then I mean it can
really lose another spoon being briefly
bent it's perfect but what I came up
with which I really like is to kind of
finish it by going to bend then I need
Li put it back pivot it back up and just
the cover
I do a corkscrew action while pushing it
out the hand when you're doing magic
with something people eat with okay all
this it's a whole other category raises
a very important question of Hygiene I
mean it's one thing to say hey it was a
great trick and now I've got a cold
thank you so out of respect I think it's
really important because too many
magicians don't show enough respect for
people they kind of blow into space love
it and I used to do this all the time
when I worked as a regular house
magician at a bunch of places here in
Toronto area and that is once you're
done your ring and spoon or your spoon
band or any of these kind of thing it's
always a good idea to say thank you so
much here let me get your fresh food
okay and of course you go around the
corner and you know rather than your
bare hands you bring another one back
like this rats little napkin people
appreciate that I think it's a good idea
what people never knew when I did is I
would just go around the corner grab the
same spoon which graphically without can
get tobacco like I give well there you
have it truly a next-level spoon Bend
