I'm interested in learning spoon bending. Where's a good place to start. I've noticed PK silverware and a dvd called mind bender. What do you think about these?

Thx.

Get the Banachek and Kuffs videos. They are great, and will give you all you need. Mind Bender is terrible. Avoid it at all costs. It is a waste of money and your time.

dpe666,

This is the second time to my recollection that you've trashed Mind Bender. I've heard the other two effects on the tape aren't so hot (especially for a mentalist) but I've heard good things about the bend. I believe I even saw a movie of it somewhere on the net and if it is what I am recalling, I thought it looked pretty good. What do you see as the problems with Mind Bender?

I have Banacheck, Kuffs and Bavli so am pretty conversant with this area but don't have a lot of real world cutlery bending experience. I have, however, bent more than my share of keys (and lately coins, e.g., Koenig's Bent Cent and the SS). Is MB just bad in and of itself or in comparison to the sources I listed above? Of both?

If you feel you can't respond on the forum, I am interested in detail, please PM me.

Thanks,

Bill

Mindbender, the movie, is by Ken Russell about Uri Geller. It could be good.

This is not what we are talking about.

Banachek video is the one for me

Gerry & Banachek video is great. Kuffs video is also very good.There is also an effect out by Barry Price?? called Spoon Bend. You can see a demo of this at http://www.hocus-pocus.com

I second Gerry & Banachek video, but, spoon in Hong Kong is too "hard" to do the moves...too bad!

I prefered by far the Kuff video, everything was in it(the moves, the routine and some good ideas to work with). And the psycology behind the spoon bending was good too!

HO! and by the way, there is no spoon to hard to bend, there is always a way to do it!!!!!!

Not a video But Gellerism Revealed will give you spoon and Key BENDING.

I liked mind bender. I thought it was clever and sooooo inexpensive.

Yeah, I liked the Optical Bend too. What's wrong with it?
