Make a right-handed fist around a fork whose tines are facing downward and away from you. Cover that fist with your left hand. Make sure to cover the very top of the fork handle with both thumbs. The handle must be kept out of sight for this to work. Slip your pinky behind the fork handle to create a fulcrum for the fork. Make sure to cover this with your left hand as well.
“Bend” the fork by letting go of the handle tip and clasping your hands as you let the fork’s handle slide through your palms. Act as if “bending” the fork is difficult. Practice this part. Put your body into it as if it does take great effort on your part to really sell this illusion.
Unclasp your hands quickly to reveal the fork undamaged. You have essentially unbent the fork. This gives your audience a false sense of security.
Grab a spoon from the table. Show that it is straight and fine. Hold the handle in your fist with the bottom facing away from you. Announce that you have learned how to bend spoons from a mystic. This is your patter and it is important so that people pay attention to you and not the spoon. “Patter” while you use your thumb to quickly bend the spoon in preparation for the trick. Hold the bent spoon in your fist, making sure to cover up the bent part with your hand. Rub the handle with your other hand to create "mental heat.” Slowly push the spoon out with your index finger as you shake your fist downward to sell the trick. The shaking covers up the fact that it is already bent and the constant movement doesn’t let the eyes settle. Present the bent spoon to your astonished audience.
Timing is the answer to creating a memorable trick. Don’t do one right after the other. Use “patter” to transition between these two tricks and the time between them. In other words, take your time.
The biggest part of any magic trick is the power of misdirection. A big part of that is patter. Invent a story about your trick. It is human nature to be taken in by a good story. If your audience is hooked into your patter, they will follow your misdirection, which is just using movement or words to have the audience's eyes where you want them to be. In the spoon bender trick, you focus their eyes on the place where the bend is. The constant movement of your wrist combined with this, misdirects the audience's eyes and thoughts away from the fact you are pushing up the spoon.
Practice is your friend. Practice each trick and "patter" a few minutes every day before doing it in front of people. The more you practice the trick, the better you will be at the trick.
