Spoon bending on TV show

Hi, I've found this video on Youtube. On TV talk show from Sweden I assume (don't really understand Sweden), we can see a man bending a spoon :D, just like in the Matrix movie, but more permanent :) I don't know what they are talking about but I would really love to know.

I've tried to find this link or tread about it with search engine on this forum but with no luck. If this was posted already I apologize.

Hi stargazer, close but no cigar, its Norwegian.
The guy kinda says he is doing it with his mind, but not directly and he also says he is doing it because he thinks people needs more mystery in their life (im overloaded with mysteries at the moment) the woman is like: ooooh wow I just dont understand how you are doing this.
If I had those kind of powers for real though, I know I wouldn't go on morning tv with them, I think he is just a magician!

Be good

I hear that Uri Geller is also a bit of a bender. :D

Hi pollock, sorry for my mistake. Thank you for the translation :)
It looks authentic to me, could you please point out a few clues as to why it is a trick. Or how he does it. I'm not trying to tell you, you are wrong, I would just like to know what you know and understand why.

No prob!
Well, the fact that he is on tv bending spoons and not out doing something usefull with his powers is the biggest clue in my oppinion!
Otherwise it does look real enough, no physical proof.
He does hide the spoon in his hand before he "bends it, which I find a bit dodgy.

There's is a certain amount of manipulation with the spoon before hand which I'm not entirely comfortable with.

I agree though, anyone who can bend spoons should be out there doing some good with their ability.

I believe that thought is a powerful thing (or should that be 'think' that thought...? lol)

You've got couple of good points here.
And nothing else looks fishy but this hand hiding.
I'm thinking this could be real and he's not doing it everywhere because he's either afraid (deep down) or knows how to bend spoons only or he's one of the bad guys.

As well it could be that it's a media hoax with graphics, but they would have to be perfect, which I think is unlikely but not impossible.

World is full of shit and it takes a lot of time to dig things up and there's still shit on it.

Actually it can be done. I have a friend who has done it. She did some workshop about the power of the mind and noone was more surprised than her when it actually worked.

However she does not sit around doing party tricks :)

She did it once as part of an excercise and it did show the power we all have.

The gentleman in the video is performing a very simple trick. I learned the trick when I was around 10 years old. The first 'bend' the spoon doesn't bend at all, is merely tilted slowly skyward. This gives the impression the other hand isn't required, but then on the second 'bend', he maintains the skyward tilt and very quickly 'nips' the neck of the spoon creating a very slight bend.

There are certain functions that can be performed by the mind, but they are all internal to the body (such as diverting bloodflow and altering sensation).

Nice! :)
A little scary looking guy, but he rocks. I don't think it's a trick.
Infinite creation is us, so why not. :)

If this can be done, spoon bending is easy.

Being a magician myself, I could easily spot what he was doing. Dont you worry, its not real...

[abrilliantone]

Yeah, it's fake too much molesting of the spoon for one :eek: and then if someone could do that ( I'm not saying that it could not be done) But if you could I would think you would be bending other things besides just spoons :confused: It always seems to be a spoon, why not a butter knife or a brick, better yet a car :D I did find it funny that he held on to the spoon the whole time. Why didn't he just leave the spoon on the coffe table and bent it while it was laying there :confused:

[jim fear]

Yup its a trick!

[mad as a cat]

Thank you for posting those links,Thoth.
The 2nd video is rather scary!

This post inspires me to try telekinesis again!:)

[dude111]

An interesting Video indeed.......

I dunno if its fake or not but seeing a magician say its fake doesnt make it look very good..

I do think it might be possible to do this HOWEVER i dont have the concentration i dont think thats needed to do this!

No one touches Amir Chanan, and I mean - no one touches him.

Derren Brown apparently met this women and she admitted to having put magnets in her bra. If you re-watch with that knowledge it becomes hilariously obvious.

[dude111]

Why are there so many fakes??

Why doesnt someone actually do it and let others see?
