Ask your companions if they would like to see you bend a spoon with your mind. Borrow a spoon to make the trick look more convincing and to eliminate the possibility that you will be accused of using a trick spoon. Ask a companion for a spoon, or if you are already eating a meal, use one that has been provided for you to do the trick.
Show your audience the spoon. Pass it around so they can conclude that it is a regular spoon.
Tell your audience that you will now proceed to bend the spoon using only your mind. Begin to do the trick by gripping the spoon in your left hand in your 4 fingers. Place your right fist on top of the left hand, grasping your left thumb in the fist. The bowl of the spoon should be sticking out of the bottom of your left fist. The spoon should stand in a vertical position, with the tip of the bowl of the spoon touching the table.
Loosen your grip gradually on the spoon, allowing it to drop to a 90-degree angle as you bring your hand down and smack it loudly on the table, which will sound to the audience like it has cracked. It will appear that the spoon is bending throughout this motion.
Separate the fingers of your right hand and bring them down to rest on the bowl of the spoon.
Push down hard on the bowl so that the spoon swings around and is held in a vertical position. The spoon is now straight and seems to be restored.
Pick up the spoon with a flourish and display it to your audience. Pass it around for confirmation that it has become straight again.
