I never like to completely po po someone else work but although I dont know the workings of the spoon bend there it seemed obvious to me if I have the method correct.
What is the name of that bend btw and is it as angle sensitive as it seems? Nice landscape though and good luck with the video.

I would agree, especially towards the end. You shouldn't use this, as it stands anyway, in the finished product.

Some words would add to it, too :wink:

That spoon "bend" is completely obvious.

by **Chris** » May 10th, '07, 10:23

Obvious to magicians or muggles? cos I find non magic folk are very impressed...I do need to get angles right though....thanks for feedback though, much appreciated x

by **Chris** » May 10th, '07, 10:32

No this isnt for finished project, it was just more about lighting and angles etc.......to get and idea for the aesthetic feel of it all......Thought id get some practice in over the Bank Holiday weekend!

Am going back there to film in July.

Didn't look too bad to me as far as it went. 80% of that effect though is doing the 'work' with effective misdirection which the clip leaves out. If you've managed to do that then the spectator is still convinced you're holding an unbent spoon when you start the bend. Curiously, it's because your clip starts where it does that the effect seems less convincing.

by **Chris** » May 10th, '07, 16:23

Yes I know what you mean, and its exactly that, a clip...thanks for the imput though

If I can offer a thought, I'd suggest adding something to distract from your LH movement or try to hide one of your digits doing the work to avoid giving the game away.
