fork - get it?
by taneous » Apr 22nd, '04, 12:34
I was searching the web for fork bending and I found this site:
http://www.fork-you.com
I thought you guys into PK would find it amusing. Don't worry it isn't offensive as the - erm - name suggests..

One of the things I like to do when working on a routine is to try and link it to peoples perceptions of what one would do if it were really possible. In this case - what are people's perception of fork/spoon bending - that way it makes my routine a little more believable - which of course adds to the power of the routine.
This is the reason I was looking for 'real' PK stuff - to improve my metal bending routine. had a good laugh when i looked at this site. I then looked up 'PK Parties' and I found a link to this guy:
http://www.jackhouck.com/pk.shtml
I decided as an experiment to sort of follow his instructions and see what my experience was. I held a fork, focused on it, then sort of ignored it and relaxed and tried to bend it a bit every now and then. I found that after a little while it did seem as if the metal went soft in my hand and I was able to bend it really easily. I was a little freaked out at first - the hair in my neck stood on end
I was able to sort of analyse the experience, though. I think what happens is that when you first hold it, the metal is cold and so psychologically it is a lot more difficult to bend. Also there is that mental block against damaging cutlery. After a little while it warms up a bit and you get used to the pressure you put on it, so you start applying more pressure without realising it - ie. the metal doesn't change, just your perception of it, and it becomes really easy to bend. Kind of like that thing where 4 people lift one person with one finger??
At least I hope that's what happens
Hope this doesn't sound too wierd. I'm now trying to work out how i could build this into my routine somehow
