How to "Magically" Bend a Spoon

Watch your audience gape in amazement as you hold a spoon with two fingers and it bends, droops, and drops in two pieces.

Step1
Before performing this trick, you have to secretly prepare a spoon. To do so, bend the spoon at its weakest point, just below the bowl. Bend the spoon back and forth until it is just about to break. Plant the spoon where you can casually pick it up to begin the trick.


Step2
Pick up the spoon and show your audience that it is in tact. Then hold the spoon at the point where it is about to break. Squeeze the break. If you've weakened the spoon enough, squeezing will cause the spoon to break. Hold the halves together.


Step3
As you gently release the pressure of your fingers, the halves of the spoon will droop as you pretend to bend the spoon with you mental powers. Eventually let the halves drop.
