- If you want to know how to bend a spoon (and a fork and a steel bar) with just your mind, check this out. Of course, there are many ways to bend a spoon, and for some strange reason they all require touching the spoon at some point, so that's one clue to how psychics do the trick.

ah, i think you misunderstood me, I wanted to know how to bend a spoon with my mind.
That is how; his mind moved his hands to manipulate the spoons.
Ahahahaha
Now you can realise the truth. There is no spoon.
Never seen the matrix?
Good man. You can't not like the matrix.
lol
Loll
;-;
The 1st spoon: He bends it in his hand and then just rotates it while he rubs it so that it looks like it bends
The fork: It was already bent, he was just shaking it so much it was very hard to see.
The steel bar: It was already bent, he just turned it around so it looked straight, then he slowly rotated it.
The 2nd spoon: Was already weakened before he started, so it was no problem to bend it like that and even break it.
P.S. It's all simple, just think outside the box.
There is no spoon.

The important lesson here is that even when you don't know how the trick is done, if they are claiming psychic powers, you can be sure it is a trick.
How to REALLY bend a spoon using your mind
1) go into a dark quiet room, close all windows, shut the doors.
2) take your spoon and rub it with your two fingers back and forth.
3) There most important part: While rubbing the spoon back and forth with your two fingers, SHUT OF ALL THOUGHTS IN YOUR MIND, Just Feel the feeling of the spoon. while your rubbing it.
This actually works, I did it 5 years ago and it scared the shit out of me. I never did it again. Definitely something metaphysical.
OMG, not only is he bending that steel bar with his magic atom warming finger but he also defies gravity as the steel bar bends upward! Mind blowing!
"Do not try to bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth... there is no spoon."
Matrix reference
If there is no spoon, then nothing is there. what? I am confuse.
@@ehku9886 there is no spoon, it's all metallic compounds
I'm still amazed by the percentage of the people who can't recognize sarcasm even if their life depends on it. Michael Shermer is, in my opinion, the best science teacher in the world - because he inspires people to think rationally and to suspect in everything!
I've been a student of magic for 50 years trained by Micky Hades, and have tested Uri Geller myself both metal bending and remote viewing. If he's a magician I'm Sparky the Fire Dog!
@@brentireland9866 Do you know the greatest trick in the world? The one where the world was fooled by Copernicus!
PFFAHAHAHAHAHAH
As a kid, after I saw Uri Geller on the TV in the 70s, I figured out how to do it myself. One thing I learned early about tricks is if there are only a couple ways to do it, that's probably what's going on. Knowing how illusions work only enhances my amazement! Did anyone see the ridiculous NYT piece on the Spoonbender?
"An Honest Liar" brought me here.
Me too!
same
Me too but they never explained gow steve shaw was able to rotate the rotar in the glass
Thank you so much for this Michael. As a man I owe you one fir this. We have located a fake spoon bender. He tries to tell people that he's some kind of ninja. It's adorable now to know that this dude is only a cheap trick away from being busted. Thanks again. I get to put this to sleep for ever.
Great video. I can't wait to see more. I liked it when you said "that Israeli spoon bender" instead of his actual name.
Illuminati confirmed.
The illuminati is the teaching of demonic power .with out the demonic you can not do it.samething for god with him not all things are pissible .powers/forces of light and dark
@@lightningmass3013 lol stupid
or you slowly twist your rist and the bar is alredy bent!!
He is holding the bar at a perspective at which it looks like it is straight to the viewer, when in reality, the bar is bent toward him and while he is rubbing it and making you think about it bending or watching him rub it, he is turning the metal bar with his holding hand giving the illusion that it is bending upwards.
the iron bar was all ready bent he is just hiding it, watch and see his thumb,all he does is rotate the rod up slowly. also you can see before he starts a mark or something in the middle where the bar is bent.
Guys the metal is already bent he's just making an ilussion. He is showing the metal in a way that it looks like it straight but slowly while saying bend and rubbing the metal to make you focus on other places his left hand which is slowly turning it until it shows clearly that it is bent:D
It pretty funny how he showing us how to bend the fork and I could already see the fork bend before hand. :P
Michael Shermer is one of my favorite humans. A+, would watch again.
2009? I was expecting a rickroll.
thats 2007

I am just as ardent a skeptic as anyone I know, but who doesn't enjoy a nice magic trick at parties?! You don't have to believe that it's supernatural to enjoy magic.

This is "memory metal". It looks tough and strong, but once u apply heat to it, it goes back to its original form.
The rod was already bent, but the camera was side on so it looks straight. He directed attention to the centre of the rod, which distracted us from him slowly rotating the already bent rod with his left hand. This makes it look like he is bending it.
BlueAgent He's not rotating the rod. Watch the fingers of his left hand throughout the entire sequence. They never move.
Edit: I stand corrected. The thumb moved just enough to produce a quarter-turn of the rod.
***** His thumb is rotating the rod, not his fingers of his left hand.
***** Above comment is correct. Take a look at the thumb at 3:00 and then again at 3:20
BlueAgent You're damn right. I noticed his thumb and index finger slightly rotating it.
Look up "wood's metal" or the properties of indium or look up "low melt metals"... pretty amazing stuff. It's pretty cool to be able to melt metal in boiling water. This guy needs to touch the spoon to heat it up and soften the material. He may call it steel but it is far from steel. It is a custom made prop.
I'm suing, these are forks 😭😭 I legit thought I was gonna have magical powers after this
The rod was already pre-bent, if you watch his right hand, he is just rotating the bar so that it appears to bend upwards, when really he is just changing the perspective that we are viewing the bar at.
I bet I can melt steel beams this way
Mind powers can't melt steel beams
+Munchbob we can melt it
+jonathan munoz whoa. chill there superman
Naw you need jet fuel
Johnny Z. Muñoz I did that to the twin towers.
Only forgot the how to part?
He was just turning the rod
really purple is that code for something???? Pervert.
Dude, this guy is one of the most well known skeptics in the world. He debunks everything from this to UFO's. He's basically telling you it's fake, and how to do it.
So how did he do it?
that spoon fell off because it's made of Gallium which melts at the temperature of the hand
Nope. The whole spoon would completely melt if it were gallium
+Tony BearJug It doesn't heat up over 1 second.
IT melted where he put all the pressure of his fingers.
while holding it gently with his hand, he wasnt heating it up much, but right at the tip of the neck it bent.
or its a stage spoon, and its all made out of aluminum except the neck that he melted
There are a lot easier ways to bend spoons besides just making the neck out of gallium.
Tony BearJug enlighten us
Well, bending it a bunch before hand, chemicals, liquid metal (the magic trick. I don't own it so idk how it works). Also, using gallium wouldn't let it bend, it would melt and stain his hands gray, leaving liquid metal.
URI Geller can't be too happy with you lad. Great demo. Thanks for keeping it real Doc.
The bar was already bent - at the beginning he just rotated it to the angle where it seemed straight and slowly twisted it around.
TheToonimator no shit
Shermer isn't a bad metal bender. He may not a professional level like banachek. But he's clearly practiced this for many hours. Well done.
Some of you trying to debunk this video-what are you debunking? The whole point of this is to show how easy it is to fool people into believing that the bending is a mental/natural phenomenon when actually it is either easily done right before you or manipulated beforehand. You're also not taking into consideration that this is done before a camera in relatively closeup mode, hence the reason you can see intricacies such as ever-so-slight pre-bent metals and very slight hand movements. Imagine if you're sitting in a somewhat moderate - large theater with either a proscenium or thrust setup (where alot of major magicians perform) and watching this several feet ahead of (and possibly raised a bit above) you. There could be several feet between the edge of the stage and those first row of audience. The performer knows damn good and well there is no possible way to see those slight manipulations and relies on that heavily. There's people that insist on only playing certain types of theaters for this reason. Basically-you're all arguing the same point this man is making. Of course it's fake. That's the f'king point of this-to show how it's faked.
pre-bent metals rock! I agree with everything.. keep up the good work!
" fool people into believing that the bending is a mental/natural phenomenon when actually it is either easily done right before you or manipulated beforehand."
You made an "it's not X, but X" error in logic. The point he makes is that people get fooled into believing bending spoons with one's mind is a supernatural phenonmenon, NOT a natural phenomenon. And, yes, obviously, it IS a mental process, as he needs to THINK about all the secret steps he takes to creating the illusion of bending spoons with one's mind.
Nobody actually read that
that metal bar at the end, you can see clearly how he turns it with his left fingers. Its already bent before he starts, but the turns it and it looks like its bending
Haha, Shermer's good at this. He should do children's parties.
:D
I like how you did the last one. it's pre-bent and you're just twisting it. Nice.
2:48 its is a bad trick im i the only one who sees it? he is spinning the thing the lenght doesnt change no problem :)
OMG no way!!1😱 yes! You must be the only one☝️.You are so unique, special and smart because of it. I wish I was this clever..
this is how i interpret this. In order to get the spoon to bend, energy Must be transferred. and as experiments will show you all forms of energy follow the path of least resistance. Therefore, although it may be possible to psychically bend the spoon, your not going to be able too because the path of least resistance Should be to bend it with your hands.
Cheap tricks. It's all about angles and perspective. You rotated the already-bent steel rod. The fork to was already bent that's why you never held it still. You kept moving it so we wouldn't notice it. BUNK! But it's ok. I truly don't care have fun man!
Yeah you sound real fun
You are missing the point. They are skeptics. They don't believe in magic. They are showing people things that look magic and then telling them 'there is no such thing as magic, no matter how convincing it may appear.'
JW Money Yeah, I got that, not sure everyone did. What is funny though is that if you look on his shelf you can see the bent rod...
Tripledonkey excellent catch. I saw it after you had mentioned it preciate that
You're absolutely correct, plus you gotta remember he was showing it to us at a highly specific viewpoint and was very up close to the camera as well, but I sure do love the amazing Randi, definitely one of my top three favorite magicians along with Blackstone and of course P&T as far as straight up who can pull more tricks outta their sleeves though, the amazing Randi has them beat hands down.
Some of you folks have an absolute genius for missing the point. (And it's not a subtle point requiring semiotic analysis or anything; it's the point that's plainly stated by Shermer.)
For a how to video it sucks. More like a here's what it looks like vIdeo. Thanks for nothing.
The videos caption is “How to bend” not “Let me show you the trick and not tell you how”
The last one was obvious. The piece was already bent but since it was a circular piece, he had it in an angle on camera (which is why the camera focused very close on that trick only) and as he was “bending” he was turning the steel meaning the angle was becoming better and better visually for the camera.
OH MY GOD where can I get an amazing Randi doll 8O
I can explain it for him. Watch the end one with that steel bar. watch his left thumb and finger, all his tools were already messed with and with the steel bar, he just twists his thumb and finger to change the view. btw, you're only seeing it in one direction, if from multiple directions, then its easily seen.
I know the title isn't misleading because it doesn't say "with just his mind" but that is what I thought he was going to do: bends spoons with just his mind.
Eh...title is misleading.
WhiteEmerald1991 the title already assumes that you're in on the gag--you can't bend a spoon with your mind, it's just an old fraudulent phenomenon from the seventies.
briar patch well no. Not everybody is on the gag. Some people like me actually believes in this.
WhiteEmerald1991 okay, you didn't get the reference. no worries.
briar patch there is no refrence. He false advertised with the title.
WhiteEmerald1991 okay, you're still not understanding me. Or maybe you need to look up the word "reference" in the dictionary. MANY people were around for or remember the big hoax in the seventies about spoon bending. That is why the title makes people smile, because THEY KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING, making a joke, a reference to that funny hoax in the seventies. what don't you understand? If there was a Harry Potter reference or Lord of the Rings reference, you'd probably get it. The title is a REFERENCE to a fad from decades past. Just because YOU don't understand it, doesn't make it misleading.
There's no such thing as bending a spoon with your mind, it's all trickery but on another note the mind and consciousness is very powerful, quantum entanglement.
Good job wasting my time.
There's only one way each trick could have been done if you think about it-
The spoon was already broken.
And the bar was already bent.
Good but you still wasted 3 minutes and 28 seconds of my life.
+John Call so did you 😒
+Scary Horror Are you mad because he didn't actually teach you how? He shows you how to bend the spoon and the fork actually. He doesn't explain it well but he briefly explains the spoon. but if you watch carefully you can tell. As he picks the spoon up he picks it up by the handle and puts his thumb on the bowl and then you can see him very quickly push the bowl down. He doesn't stop moving the spoon though, so you can't tell it's fake. When he picks the fork up, he holds it above his head as if he's getting ready and then he bends the pointy thing on the end. Idk how he does the other 2, he didn't explain it.
All of these are Magnesium.. It has a melting point lower than body temperature. It is kind of like Mercury, but safe to play with. Check out Mg spoons.. They are for tricks just like that.
I can use my mind to bend a spoon. My mind is what controls my arms.
Such amazing psychic powers, not only did the bar start to bend but the reverse gravity phenomenon started raising his thumb at the same time the bar was bending. That's how you know it's legit.
Yeah it almost looks like he's slowing turning it with his hand as he's "Bending" it Wich means it was likely Prepped.
Yes, he is a skeptic about everything. He is, in fact, the executive director of the Skeptics Society.
That is rather the point.
I never knew Michael Shermer had telekinetic powers.
CONSPIRACY!!!! Some of those were forks!!!! (
in order to really bend a spoon with your mind you have to come to the realisation that there is no spoon. once you realise that you can thus realise that it is not the spoon that bends but it is yourself
for the entire video you can see the steel bar bent while it's sitting on the shelf
That metal rod was bent from the beginning. He just rotated it with his fingers to create the illusion it was bending on-the-fly.
I wish he explained how he did it a little more. These would be some pretty fun party tricks.
I would like to inform those who comment this as "bs" or "optical illusions" or just simply saying it is a trick and that the thing was already bent, it wasn't, he wasn't, and it isn't. This is an old trick of focusing your mind to actually make your concentration a reality. Normally, just imagining things doesn't do anything, but if you actually attempt to "concentrate" then it will actually happen to some extent. His logic also makes sense. This is for people who have an IQ of 160 or higher.
It's a pre cut spoon ..has a little slice in the back , and he just work hardens it until it breaks
So THAT'S what Kermit looks like IRL...
And then you notice the metal bar was bent before he picked it up.
As a big eater of homemade hummus, I would be more interested in psychic powers than actually prevent forks from bending.
Beautiful. Simply wonderful video. This is how these tricksters who prey on the hopes of people should be exposed. Yeah, everybody wants to be superman, but you can be much greater through simple acts of kindness than any of these psychic, fortune teller, medium blah blah jokers.
MY TV BENT AND I CANT SEE EASTENDERS, Shermer, bend it back
pretty sure that last steel rod, was already bent but cause of the way we were looking at it, it looked straight. at which point he slowly turned it.
STOP THE PRESSES! Michael, you better go claim that million dollar prize NOW!
He rolls the metal bar between his thumb and his index finger , so that you start by looking at it from an orientation that makes it seemingly straight ..but as it rolls it looks like it bends
bending the spoon until the thing falls off that would be pretty neat to do
fork was pre bent. you cant really notice much because he comepletly hides it in the beginiging by covering it with his finger and by shaking it.
Now do it with just your mind though, no rubbing it to bend! 👁 there is no spoon! 🥄
With steelbar trick look at his left hands thumb 2:47 and then look 3:16, you can see that he rolled the bar vertically, so it was allready bended.
I actually realised that. The bar was already bent and when he pretended to bend it it just rotated it :))
How anyone could possibly think they could bend a spoon with their thoughts...
Yes that too and you can also see the Bar already bent while he is doing the other stuff, the bar in the background is already bend..haha
Looks like im using freaking spoons made in wakanda
the ad before this Michael Shermer video was for phenotracker. There's target marketing for ya.
Spoon bending is a real and profound pheonomon. I bend spoons and its real. I bend them with ice cream.
Great the weird side of RUclips. From a soccer trick to the jimmy saville of cutlery
you can clearly see that the steel bar is already bent, he just turns it with his left hand to create that illusion.
He is using gallium when he bends the spoon and the fork ,its a metal with a melting point of 28°C and its not toxic
the bending parts of spoon is made of gallium a metal which melts at room temperature so when he rubs or shake the spoon its starts melting and the spoon bends .
If you don't notice the finger movement on the bar, there's a small patch of light in the middle. Wait, a small patch of light on a cylinder?
All spoon benders had to touch the spoon but not a single one did it without touching it.
I choose to believe my telekinetic powers bent the cutlery.
Ok on bending the bar, do not watch his finger moving back and forth like 99.9% of people do, watch the hand holding the bar and has the bar supposely bends you'll notice his thmub and finger moving the bar.
At 2:49 the bar is in the middle of his thumb, at 3:19 the bar is down further on his thumb and fore finger is curled...
He's just twisting a bent bar forward to show what was bent already...
Not always, but most of the time. A how to video, shows you how to do something.
as soon as he picks the spoon up u can see him bending it with his thumb
it was already bent..its just a trick of perspective...he had the bend pointing toward himself so it appeared straight from the viewers pov..and the he slowly turned it in his fingerers that are holding it so the the bend became visible..if you re-watch you can actually notice the bend by the way the light reflects off of it when he starts to rub it...
the metal looking rod debunked.
2 dissimilar metals bonded together, when heated will expand and contract which gives us temperature variation usage. Industrial applications for this are old type indoor comfort thermostats which used mercury and heating unit pilot flame sensor switches. For the A/C tech's out there, a Carrier 740 pilot assembly should come to mind.
In Soviet Russia, Spoon Bend You.
There is a little mark on the bar at the end and as he continues to do the trick it moves. Showing that he is just turning the bar.
I have to agree. Presentation is pretty much everything with these effects, and like him or loathe him, Geller is and was a pretty good showman.
Last one you can see clearly see the bar was already bent and he was twisting it around... as you can see beside his hand there is black stuff on the pole, that gives it away..
Sorry but it appears to me that the fork is already bent but swinging it distracted the eyes to make it appear normal, and as for the short pole, it was also pre-bent as well. If you notice, as it is bending, his thumb is no longer in the same place as in the beginning as he turns the pre-bent pole to appear to be bending. Good trick though, gotta love the minds eye.
thanks for explaining that, I was about to rant about how if he had weakened it, why the heck would it bend up against the force of gravity
amcnea: maybe you are bending it too far. use a lower angle, and then of course it will take more time, but you will get a connection that might work, and the cracks will be (almost) invisible.
