I use fork bending in my strolling / close up repertoire all the time that includes a lateral bend. I use asda forks and usually every 6 months I buy a huge amount in bulk. Without exposing the effect, asda have changed the design of the fork so the lateral bend is nigh on impossible!

where do other magi buy there forks from that are of a similar quality to the old asda style forks that can be laterally bent?

Have a look at Wilkinson's forks, they're quite good. Can be a bit brittle though if you're not careful.

Yes I use the wilkinsons forks all the time and they are the same desgin as the old asda ones.
I've also found that after some practice you can also use tescos value forks. These ones are harder to manipulate but at the same time are even more convincing.
As Banachek says in his psychokinetic silverware almost all silverware can be manipulated it is just a matter of getting the technique and lots of practice.
For the first time I manged to put a corkscrew in one of the rather sturdy forks at work much to the dismay of a fellow worker who doesn't 'believe'!

Also check out the Pound shops - Poundland and similar places. Their cutlery is about the same as the Wilkinson's and old ASDA versions.

if anyone goes to davenport there is a chinese shop in the underground arcade which sell cheap fork and spoons which bend.

if you ask in davenport they will tell you where it is

Thanks very much
