    Fond memories of this. In my teenage years I can remember being amazed at this and trying to bend spoons/forks like this after seeing him on TV ( with NO success of course!) Many of us were so gullible lol. Now we see the evidence that he was nothing more than a "magician", exposed by the wonderful James Randi, Johnny Carson and even on Noel's House Party in the UK where hidden cameras secretly filmed him at a set up dinner-he clearly, sneakily used two hands to bend a fork!!!! I also saw him a few years ago at our science festival-but he didn't bend a spoon. Instead, he asked us all to bring watches which had stopped working and he would attempt to get them working! What a pointless exercise-after about 200 were put on stage in front of him he used his amazing powers on them. Again-complete failure. He seemed more intent in telling us that during the interval that he had been talking with his friend, Michael (Jackson)! FFS!! I think he just loved the idea of fame and celebrity! Clearly a pretentious fake making a lucrative career as a con man. And, as Geller claims that his powers were given to him by an angel from another planet, I would simply ask why did this angel give him the useless power to bend cutlery lol!

    The spoons he used to bend were made of gallium (atomic number, 31). So, some of the tricks he used to perform, anyone can perform them (with gallium-made spoons). If people in the public just happened to take with them some spoons made of stainless steel or silver to the theater, he would not have been able to fool the public. You can read the article "Gallium" in the Wikipedia in English; especially, the second paragraph. 20220821 (Sunday).

    • @Rhewin
      @Rhewin Год назад +1

      This can be done with any spoon/fork. No need for one with a specific metal. It is just more difficult with heavier utensils

    • @ImHeadshotSniper
      @ImHeadshotSniper Год назад +1

      if he used gallium, he'd have to be incredibly careful not to melt the entire thing. as someone else said, this is easily done with any old spoon or fork. you just need to bend the shit out of it back and forth beforehand until you notice it getting quite weak, at which point the trick is ready to be presented.
      edit: also to add, Uri never melted anything into liquid metal actually. this proves that it was never Gallium.

    It's called "metal fatigue", and/or "metal melting point" as in some cases the metal pieces or portions/joints may have been made from a Gallium alloy which starts melting at temperatures above 30 degrees celsius... You can clearly see the stress/joint line on 0:34 (pre) and 1.33 (after manipulation). That's why he knows it will "fracture".

    He rubs the spoon on several places but it breaks at the same spot where the other one broke when force was applied.

    ...i just want to say , this is what i think, that all he is doing is kinesis. its simple to do. its only focus and energy. so i guess you can say its real but its about as easy to do this as it is doing a backflip. hard at first but quickly learned.

      Nope, what he's saying is 100% true:
      1. No heat is used, easiest way is for the metal to be bent back and forth lots of times to the point of almost snapping prior to the demonstration. He keeps saying "there's no heat" as a distraction to make the feat seem more authentic/mysterious.
      2. The word "plastic" has more than one meaning, in this case he's using it to mean "malleable".
      I quoted it to point out how often he repeats that phrase, it's all part of convincing the audience.

    It could be and I'm not saying you're wrong but I have to say that although this sounds easy in theory as an explanation, it's not easy in practice, I've often tried this 'pre-bending' spoons just to see what happens because it was the obvious explanation I thought of myself back then but doing this even a good number of times doesn't necessarily weaken metal spoons to a point where it would be all that easy to then just rub it to bend it, so I think there must be more to it than that.

    • @richf1182
      @richf1182 3 года назад

      The skill is bending it back and forth just the right number of times to weaken it but not snap it.
