Bend the spoon

An accurate depiction of how spoon bending generally works. He needs to work on his misdirection, though.
Spoon-bending generally works by smacking the spoon against the walls of reality?
A table, the walls of reality, anything at hand.
Or… your hands.
I can’t believe that Walky’s abductee power was fourth wall interaction all along.
I really wish we’d seen some telekinetic folks at some point. I assume their powers are too weak to allow them to fly, since HA said he couldn’t do flying.
There is no spoon. And also no fourth wall.
you must only realise this. that there is no spoon and the room is open
Somehow he bent the spoon the opposite way from how he banged it. That takes some talent right there!
If I’m seeing it right, it actually looks like he’s hitting it with the indented part facing down, so the outside bend would be facing downward after bending it from the blows. I think he just turned it around to present it is all.
Telekinetic- WHO!? Who has that!?
Mike wants that ability so bad…
Indeed. Banging the thing on the 4th wall, and in the opposite direction from the force applied? That takes talent in itself.
(You may want to be more specific in your further directions Alan.
I don’t know why but I always thought there was a table there for some reason.
Trivia! The famous spoon-bending trick is accomplished by pre-bending the spoon back and forth to create a weakened seam before the show. Then, when you take the spoon out of your pocket, it’ll sag under its own weight at that seam while you pretend to focus your (nonexistent) telekinetic power on it.
They caught the spoon-bending guy out on this by asking a scientist how the trick might be performed (who proposed the above explanation), then inviting the spoon-bending guy to a talk show to demonstrate his psychic power… and then presenting him with a table covered in unbent spoons to choose from, while forbidding him from using the one in his pocket.
Evidently the way to disprove “there is no spoon” is to provide all the spoons. Kinda fitting, isn’t it!
Whoa.
He can’t bend the spoon but he sure can bend dimensions.
Silly Maycroft, dimensions ARE spoons.
