Metal Bending very popular these days
I am stunned at the sheer amount of you that have a great interest in Metal Bending.
I have seen it done live on several occasions by some unknowns and on TV or video using different techniques by The Amazing Randi, David Williamson, Guy Bavli, Banachek, Gerry M. and Morgan Steebler.
And of course by the one who started it all, Uri Gellar. But lets all remember, he claims he really does it with his mind. So his techniques are a gift and can not be taught.
Maybe I am overlooking something here but the Metal Bending thing has just never done it for me.
Does this sort of thing get a great audience response. The answer is yes. So this sort of thing is not only a fooler but entertaining. Maybe it's appeal is that it is not a card trick or coin trick.
David Williamson explains Dave's Spoon Routine on Dave 2 He does it walk around when performing restaurant magic with a comical kick. I idolize David Williamson. But I find this routine to be weak. I may just be me.
As for the other guys, I guess gives off a creepy effect. I love psychokinetic effects but not metal bending. All you guys are still proving me wrong so it has to be me.
All these routines really do look great and they actually do look real. There is just something about it that I do not like.Maybe simply put, how do I present it? Is is supposed to be a trick? Is it supposed to be real? I just can't fit it in anywhere. That may be why I have never jumped on the bandwagon.
Because I know everything you do is all in the presentation and all you guys can't be wrong.
Here's another reason why I know I'm wrong: The new kid on the block Morgan Steebler has performed his fork bend for, Tom Hanks, Paris Hilton, Tara Reid, Carson Daly, Michael Jordan, Jason Biggs, Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley, R. Kelly, Ice T, Anna Nicole Smith and hundreds of others.
We even have interesting gizmo's that you guys go crazy for. They can be used as a stand alone or fit in with one or more routines to keep one step ahead of the audience.
