Easy Magic Tricks: The Spoon Bend - Version 1

1 of 5

Here's an easy magic trick that every smart aleck needs to know. You grab any spoon, press down on it with your hands and appear to bend the spoon. As your stunned spectators register what you just did (the gall of you!), you lift up the spoon and show that it is unbent, just as you found it.

Materials: A spoon
