I recomend richard osterlind stuff on metal bending or morgan steblers liquid metal. With psychokinetic silverwere, its too difficult to see what they are actually doing

Personally I found that starting with liquid metal gave me a great foundation in regards to a full routine. However, I think the great array of moves in psychokenetic silverware means you can build on the routine and make it more your own.

Also this idea of not performing at a venue because the forks are not suitable is indeed an odd one. Even if the venue had laid out the perfect fork it would be a generous client to let you bu**er up at least 2 forks at every table.
Also with any decent metal bending routine the spectators get to examine the forks before hand anyway in the fairest possible manner as you can tell them before hand you are going to bend them.

Anyway I'm off to Tescos to see if their forks are workable.......ohhh poo it's 12.30 at night.

Metal bending is something that I've never really tried before but always liked the look of. Where's a good place to get started with it?


Silverware or Liquid Metal...both ace dvd's to get you started...the great thing with metal bending is once your used to doing it, you can make up your own variations and methods to bend.

Only offered to Chris as I know that he loves his forks so much - sorry :lol:

BTW - the stock number is 080925

barcode is 5 010204070421

They're shrink wrapped and in the value range.

thought i was the only one with this problem. woolworths r by far the best, and ive tried them all. now woolworths are gone, the next best thing is tescos forks. but these are alot tougher to put the corkscrew in. it will take time , but im sure ill get comfortable with them eventually. plus u get the added bonus of them being cheaper.

Ok so my verdict for the tescos forks are in -

Theyre great for bending, corkcrew is awkward a little bit due to a slightly thicker neck, and tine corkscrews are easy....the only problem is the fork itself seems a bit to easy to bend, from a spectators point of view, which is a shame...its no woolies fork hoever, but itll do.... :D
