spoon bending

In this video, an author who teaches remote viewing, telekinesis, etc. is teaching a workshop on spoon-bending. Check the video (right side) at 55:00. STILL SKEPTICAL? https://youtu.be/z9tBK3KcXvg?t=3305

Assuming the following report is correct, what tricks might have been used? "I have personally put Geller to the test in front of witnesses, two of whom were extremely skeptical engineers. Geller bent a sturdy, stainless-steel spoon which one of our group had purloined from the Avanti...

I was out for dinner tonight, and did the spoon trick at the table, and got nothing but blank stares and 'what's that for?' questions. I said 'Just trying to be Uri Geller over here.' General consensus was 'Who?'. I actually had to explain it. I think we're winning that battle, at least...

At TAM6 we were treated to a narrative from Teller explaining how to divert attention from a stressed spoon at causal gatherings. The spoons that Dr. W. gave us were all pre-stressed and you could see that clearly on the spoon. What I want to know is how can you prestress a spoon without...

Some of you will remember Sam Wightman from the TANK podcast of a few weeks ago. He was one of the winners in the Young Scientist Awards here in New South Wales. Sam attends my old high school so I took a shine to him and showed him a few spoon bending tricks. I think I have created a monster...

Hi chaps, I'm something of a fan of spoon magic and am practised in it, but I'm sure there are more ways than the two I know - any good tricks on this line you can point me to purchase of? Sorry if this is a daft question - I am strictly an amateur, but reasonably competent. cj x

Hello All There are some interesting new developments after Dr. Deepak Chopra, a famous spiritual guru and a guru of alternate medicine, made a challenge to a critic on his website: My Last Message to Skeptsich intentblog.com/archives/2007/10/my_last_message.html "I have always maintained...

This thread is for the discussion by the students in the Skeptikids Club (who will be posting their OP shortly). They are posting here to get advice on paranormal subjects they are studying as a group of young skeptics. They will only be posting at JREF under supervision and in moderated...

I can't believe this spoon-bending stuff is still going on. Really, has none of these people ever tried to scoop cold ice cream with regular spoon? When we went to register for our wedding, the wedding coordinator at the store pulled out samples of different silver sets, and had us physically...

Hello there my friends. I have produced a video lecture and a number of demonstrations on spoon bending. The video lecture contains the physics of spoon bending. The lecture is available as a pdf as well with an transcript at the end. The demonstrations are a spoon bend and a nail bend...

There was an attempt, using the SAME POWERS as Uri Geller, at a world record mass spoon bending. Will they do it or is it only Geller who has these amazing powers from the heavens? Will Geller try to have this video removed from the web? And I throw down the challenge to all of you at your...

Quite remarkable - Watch out Randi, The million pound prize is as good as won. How this guy does it is unexplained but if it's a trick it's very subtle - . I couldn't spot it no matter how many times I watched - Even Geller is impressed......:boggled: itI_5yu-Afc

So, according to http://www.mind-energy.net/archives/167-Spoon-bending-instructions-and-pictures.html#extended, the secret to bending a spoon with your mind is to ... bend it with your hands!

Does anyone watch "The bold and the beautiful"? I was on the set today in Sydney in scenes with Ronn Moss and others. See photo... Anyway, the point is that during the down time I was bending spoons. yeah, ok.. I know, a weak link but I just wanted to post the photo of me and Ronn Moss...

Sven Rygh ( he bends spoons ) I am new here. I would like to suggest Sven Rygh for Million Dollar Challenge. He bends spoons. Google this to find out more: "Sven Rygh" video The first google result is a page that contains a link to a high quality video. After you see that one, check the...

I think Randi should sell Spoonbending kits and at a cut-rate price. I'd pay $19.95 to learn how to bend spoons. Imagine the fun at parties! Demonstrate my "psychic" power and what the woos gather. Then explain to them it's all a trick. I know magicians aren't supposed to reveal their secrets...

I know about the tricks that "psychics" use to bend spoons, but how does someone teach a class of students to bend spoons? This is a claim I saw today, claiming a 90% success rate for students, along with "how to sprout seeds in the palms of their hands". The attendees presumably believe...

Another one... about 2001 or 2002 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZGq3VYMVkQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSk2GWWWCJs It's true!

Hi Has Uri Geller ever bent anything other than spoons and keys? Why, in the supposed scientific test he went under, was he not given a uniform metal rod and asked to bend it at a specific point? It seems to me that the spoon bending is always done at the same point (i.e. the thinnest bit)...

I finally got around to watching Penn & Teller's "Bullsh*t" in its entirety, and when they got to the spoonbending segment, my jaw fell open so far it hit the coffee table. People were blatantly using their HANDS?? And Jack Houck was walking around, blatantly HELPING them bend the spoons with...

So I'm driving down the street in Derry, NH today, pissed off about the lousy haircut I just got. (I didn't realize it was lousy until the wind started blowing my hair around, and I didn't have time to go back and punch out the barber.) As I'm driving along, I was surprised to see a sign saying...

I just saw Uri break a spoon in half on TV. (He did his compass and clock starting thing too.) I have to admit he is good at that. So how's he do it? Don't get me wrong, I don't think he did anything magical. I just missed how he did it. Is there a link where someone explains the trick etc.?

Someone told me that the videoclip with Jacob Spinney's spoon bending trick had gone missing from Randi's commentary. Fortunately, I saved a copy, and has been allowed to put it online again: Jacob Spinney's Spoon Bending Trick

Come on, I'm sure we can do it! 1. I used to have a lovely bent spoon. I bought it from a street trader in Brussels in 1979. It had been a solid silver dessert spoon with a lovely leafy pattern on the handle. The bowl had been sawn off and the remainder bent into an ellipse with a gap of...

When I found this on Skeptic Report I had to :rolleyes: What an obvious, cheap, poorly performed magic trick! How could ANYONE fall for this? What is Uri doing anyway, scamming bored housewives at a local restaurant? The Video...haha The story...
