At the party, the participants were sitting in chairs arranged in a circle around my living room, joking and laughing. Severin stood up in the center of the circle and proceeded to gave the following instructions:
First Step: Make a mental connection with what you want to affect
"Get a point of concentration above your head. Grab it and bring it down through your head, your neck, your shoulder, down your arm, into your hand and put it into the fork or spoon."
Second Step: Command (intention) what you want to happen
"Command the silverware to bend by shouting BEND, three times."
Third Step: Let go!
"Let go."
After these instructions, a minute or two went by and a 14-year-old boy began screaming that his fork was bending. Everyone could clearly see that the head of his fork was bending over slowly. I noticed that everyone's eyes were huge and I now call that "an instant belief system change." Shortly after that, almost everyone began bending his or her silverware very easily. They were jumping up and down, shouting, and screaming. This was a peak emotional event! They described the silverware getting warm or sticky, with the metal becoming very soft, like rubber, for five to 30 seconds. 19 of the 21 attendees at the first PK Party were able to do what I now refer to as "Kindergarten bending." One of the participants was a woman who had told a friend of hers before the party that she didn't see any sense bending silverware. Unfortunately, she created a mental block for herself. She came to subsequent PK Parties and finally was able to bend metal at the fourth party. I was the other person who did not bend at the first PK Party. I was busy looking around at what people were doing and was trying to analyze what was happening. It also took me four PK Parties to get the PK experience. Later on in the evening at the first PK Party, the same 14-year-old boy bent the large steel rod very easily. The next day I bought the rest of the steel rods the same size from Sears. The head metallurgist at McDonnell Douglas in Huntington Beach, California attempted to bend one of the rods and finally did by straining and using his knee. He was more than twice the size of the young boy.
