Is there a difference between teaspoons and tablespoons at spoonbending? I wanted to share with you some spoons and forks I found at a reasonable price:

If anyone knows of a cheaper price, please list them.

$3.15 per 24

One is smaller than the other, maybe?

The differences in 'bendiness' will depend entirely on the material the spoon is made from, its thickness, etc. You'll have to experiement with different spoons to find the ones you prefer.

I already know the tablespoons are bigger. That is a good idea about me experiementing with each one. Maybe mentalst do have different opinions depending on the size. Thanks.

Hi DM, my answer to the teaspoon / tablespoon debate: fork. The tines at the end add visual interest and draw the focus of the audience, which makes the illusion of bending more effective.

If you must have a spoon, for personal or sentimental reasons, or just because they are a lot easier on the jacket pocket linings, go for the biggest you can. Bigger spoon equals bigger bend, bigger bend equals bigger effect.

Also, the smaller size of a teaspoon can make it difficult to bend on the handle rather than at the neck. A bend in the neck of the spoon is far less impressive, because that's the weak point.

Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

Try your local restaurant supply. After Walmart changed out their line, I located a local vender and they let you see them prior to buying. Dominion forks are the greatest for bends but I also like the spoons for other bends as well.

I defintely would not buy too many teaspoons. I have a few of them but they are just too little to be effective visually.

Depends on where you are doing your bending. For stage I recommend tablespoons or even a pie server. For walkaround where you may have the spoons in your pocket and are only twofeet from the people, teaspoons work just fine.

No difference in the bending for me. Any difference is all in the mind.

What about using plastic spoons which I have just recently heard about using for bending?

Plastic bending never really did it for me.

Catoe,
A pie server? Never heard of that one!

Peace,

Done it. Great visibility, not difficult to do, but I found it lacked the visual impact that a spoon has for some reason. The lack of a convex/concave surface I guess has something to do with it.
