A review of Mindbender would be nice.

What a brilliant trick. I don't own it, but its great!

gotta find time to finish watching it... 30 mins left

I think this is a great effect. Like Revolution, there is not much to it, but the impact on an audience can be enormous. The secret is very simple and may be known to some, as I'm sure it is not new. But I will bet that the vast majority of the people you will show this to will not know how it is happening. The effect is especially powerful because the card bends slowly, which is the way it would probably bend if you were really doing it with your mind. There is one "move," but it comes midway into the trick when you've already hooked the audience and they believe the effect is essentially over, so you'll have plenty of misdirection. The best thing about this is that it is totally impromptu. You really can do it naked, in theory, though it is helpful to have a few props nearby. Overall, I'd give this one a 10.
