Perfect Bend by Erez Moshe

Perfect Bend by Erez Moshe
Available from http://www.my-magicshop.com

They say:

This has to be the most incredible metal bending we've ever seen! And it looks just like it reads!

The performer picks up a spoon on the table, holds it at his fingertips, and proceeds to concentrate. Slowly, eerily, and methodically, the bowl of the spoon begins to bend until it is at a 90 degree angle. So far, nothing original, until you TAKE THAT VERY SAME SPOON and display it in its bent position, dropping it on the table. WHOA! The best part are the conditions:

• No special set-up involved
• No chemicals
• Completely self-contained
• The gimmick is nearly invisible
• Can be performed completely surrounded
• Can be instantly repeated with no reset involved
• You can choose whether the body of the spoon or the bowl of the spoon bends!




Cost 34,90 EUR or about £23 at today's rates



Difficulty 1 Easy




I say
Just watch the video to see how it plays. Its exactly like that. There's no great skill involved but hey it works! You don't have to move your hands. You can just pretend you're bending the spoon with the force of your mind alone.

Most angles are covered, but not all, so I'm not sure I'd want to do it close up.

With a bit of work you can hand out the spoon afterwards to be examined but this is really a one hit trick. I think you'd have to be pretty skilled or lucky to get away with this more than once in a single show.


8/10 Its a bit pricey for what it is but for the effect it is probably worth it and this site has already sold out.

I say - I reckon this will be good for stage or party type environment where you can more easily control the kit. Immediate reactions are pretty good - I suggest you watch the vid to see what you think.

Spec can get pretty close and still not work out what's going on but you wouldn't want the spec grabbing the spoon out of your hand.

If you want a GREAT bending routine but with forks, then try our Liquid Metal by Morgan Strebler.

The reactions that I'm getting from performances are simply unbelieveable. I performed to two small groups at work and within a few hours I had people from all over phoning me to book a viewing.

Highly recommended

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!
