Bending a spoon

Hello, I did not know exactly where to post this, but can anybody on here bend a spoon with their mind?

Your probably asking, "Who cares?" Well, before dinner last night, I attempted to do this and it did not work. Why? Just for the heck of it (lol). I have never seen it done before, unless it is on television. Is it even possible or is this just a trick?

Re: Bending a spoon

It's called magic. One can also saw a woman in half, make a mountain dissapear, etc.

There are some magic spoons but one is also able to perform it with a regular spoon.

Actually, this could be science, only appearing to be magic. You have heard of people linking chips to their brain, and then being able to turn on their television, microwave, play videogames, and unlock their car doors with their minds. The technology is used for the disabled. I was reading in Physics of the Impossible about how you can also make your microwave levitate, but only if you have a particular device hooked up to it. I forgot the name of it, but one could apply one to a spoon! Then, I could move it with my mind, even make it levitate with no strings attached!

Nope, I cant bend a spoon with my mind. Strewth, half the time, I cant even open a screw top jar without the help of a friend. LOL. But I am a woman and a mother so I CAN make you feel, happy, sad, guilty, ashamed, proud, etc just by a "look." LOL

I reckon its a trick and Uri Geller is a fraud, however sometimes when I make a cup of tea I notice the spoon is bent when I remove it from the cup, so I could be bending it subconsciously either that or I am squeezing the tea bag to hard

umm...err...magic most often is science. Knowledge of how the mind and the eye and perception works used to trick individuals.

it's titilating...
