this video is really well done, but the problem is that you say you have to be aggressive, and people who teach it, literally treat the spoon as it was soft as butter and bend the spoon like 6 times in a few seconds, that's what separates this video from real spoon benders, and yes I know that spoon bending is incredible easy.
You are wrong in one aspect. All videos of spoon bends of this type shows the performer asserting great force. Look at their arm muscles and you can see them flexing quite a bit. Also to turn a spoon handle 6 times in a few seconds is the definition of "explosive".
But yes, they try to mimic as if no force were needed. Then some play better.
As an engineer, I fully understand the content of part 1, but I don't think the presentation is effective. There's something to be said for being concise. Also, this really proves nothing beyond the fact that a man can bend a spoon/nail. Finding a counterfeit $20 bill doesn't convince me that all 20s are fake. This might be beneficial as a caution, and you should be applauded for making an effort to educate, but taking an elitist tone in the comments does not gain you many sympathizers.
But the funny thing is that according to occams razor if you see someone bending a spoon apparently with his mind, that is what happended. The term isn't really a way to prove anything it is just a theory of how to make better assumptions, for example I was totally broke by the end of january and march, that doesn't by any meens prove that I was also broke by the end of february, though it might be a valid assumption.
No. The most likely assumption apply. The most likely situation is that this person do not use their mind, since we know it is possible to mimic this but there are no single existing proof that it is possible to do with the mind.
Similarrly, the fact that you can bend a spoon with physical force, and that most (probably all) magicians are frauds does in no way prove that all of them are or that it is impossible to bend a spoon with your mind. It is how ever a reason to assume just that.
"magicians are frauds". that's a pretty stupid statement. magicians and illusionists openly tell you that what they do isnt real. they're not "frauds". a better statement yould be all PSYCICS are frauds
Haha yep because if you could prove it, you get a ton of money. And why wouldn't Michael Shermer want that? Because he knows it's not true and he would be labeled as a fraud then.
then again, "imagination" is our psychic power which you claim didnt exist, like a motion picture of our dreams and our insight ability which you also claimed that it exist in so small amount that it didn't have any impact.
makes you wonder how those mathematician does their solving without a piece of paper or a calculator(an invention that would not come to exist without insight)
I have officially entitled you a full-fledged retard.
If you believe in telekinesis, real magic, ghosts, UFO's or any of that other garbage then I hope a ghost comes to your house and takes your family while your sleeping, brainwashes you with his telekinesis, takes off in his UFO and then magically transports to the 4th dimension. IT'S ALL JUST ENTERTAINMENT!!
So Matt keep up the good work and don't listen to these people with a high school education level who post negative comments.
Idiots, go take Materials Technology, Statics and Strengths of Materials, Physics 1, 2, and 3 and then go to the store (probably Walmart for you haters) and see what items you'll buy. Another reason why the elite have most of the money is because the common people are too dumb to try and understand simple concepts.
i really don't get this video. It shows spoon bending... but for what? Is this a physics lesson? Others bend spoons without ever touching the spoon. This does not debunk that.
To be exact: they don't touch the spoon as it bends.
There are a few and they all use the same type of gimmick spoon or fork. Magic dealers sell the trick for a couple hundred dollars. It relies on a special metal property.
Drawbacks: need special cutlery and special bulky reset equipment. Neither are a problem if you make a video of it.
by the way, part 1 was excellently explained, logical, and the physics to back it up. but i must also add... do you think that because you put energy into the system, from work done by muscles, it there a chance for the for the kinetic energy and transformation energy imput to the spoon to be changed to thermal energy. Im not sure whether the temp would be high enough, but the stress before fracture should lower, making it easier to bend. what do you think?
Some people like to meditate to find their energetic force, when you suddenly burst your full energy at the beginning then bend it easily, what do you think that is? ENERGY some people dont even have to touch the spoon to bend it..same thing, different levels, same thing, different ways...then again if you really need to use your physical strength and dont need any meditation then so be it, good for you really =} aaand nice vid i guess...wow im nice =P
I cant stand letting people say things like that, i've bent a spoon before without touching it its like telekinesis and i dont get where you went with all this drama...bot ok =P
you are absolutely right. i've just tried it and i was able to do it. i didn't need the "hocus focus" that zensightproces is talking about. you're right, i need a real firm grip and a sudden attack on the spoon, ola, i just bent it like a soft candy. thanks a lot matt, you're true.
must be horrible for you matt4magic to read all the comments who shout: 'Fake!' it looks quiet amazing how easy it is for you to bent the nail and the spoon. I remember once a spoon of ours was bent by someone stepping on it and we tried to give it its old shape back by hands. was a disaster.... *shame on me* it was so fuckin not easy. stupid me. I'll try your technique next time
If youre trying just to use youre arms as leverages not 'using' the wrists you have to use much power and it's pretty hard. And not that soft like you do it.
i also think this is the trick. it is I think concentrating power to one spot or small area of the metal. try to curl a spoon like this within using your arms... very hard and I bet its not easymoving like the one in the vid. technique is everything.
No it is not hard, it is easy. The metal is bent using the hands and wrists. The metal is not soft or softened. Technique is important, but not meditation or any other psi-bs.
I didn't want to express that there's a mental power that has to do with it. And I really believe you when youre saying the metal is not manipulated somehow(and this is nor sarcasm). I havent tried it myself but I will as soon as I find some freetime.
It is very hard to prove that it is impossible. However I can prove that it is very unlikely using physics and math. But more important, I can prove that there are non-mental methods to replicate better versions of eg. zensightprocess videos. Using Occams razor my version should be preferred because of simplicity.
Err.. What the hell? You made roughly five video's on bending spoons? When you boil this down, what's the point? Bending a Spoon is nothing. When I'm trying to get a bowl of IceCream my Spoon bends. It even snapped once.
This question has been addressed multiple times, as well in comments, in the explanatory texts and even IN THE VIDEO ITSELF.
From now on all such comments will be auto-deleted.
For the last time: As long there are people claiming to be able to do this by all kinds of BS processes and there are persons buying into their scams this work will be important. Now run off and do videos about something you find important - make a change today.
i just dont understand why anyone would be impressed by seeing this....i can bend a spoon also.....whats new about this....i have a stick i just broke also.....maybe i will do a video on it.
more stupidity... its supposed to look like magic... whats so special about bending a spoon with your hands? who cant do that??? no special training, no concentrating, just grab and bend... its that easy (lame)
I think you have missed the point totally. Check part 1.
My claim is that anyone can bend spoons with muscular force without any form of focusing, concentration or meditation. However, there are quite a few charlatans who claim the opposite.
A little thing? A hinge? I twist it up (!) so that wouldn't help.
The spoon is 100% unmodified stainless steel, directly from IKEA. Check out my other videos. There is a theoretical base for this explaining how it works, as well as nail bends and a few other things.
The only reason it works is that I have a good grip. You can easliy do the same.
Ohh no you didn't!!! You just twisted that spoon several times with out "channelling" energy like the fat lady from zesightprocess [sarcasm] I just don't believe it [more sarcasm] lol
oh man,i thought bending spoons with ur mind power u know telekinesis

*does bend by what was seen on vid*
Well, that was easy enough. I didnt get it that far bent, but i dont see why it wouldnt be possible.
also another way to bend a spoon is get a tub of really hard (cold/frozen) ice cream and try to lift some up.. The spoon turns into pudding :P

If you even had bothered to look at video 1 before you commented on it you would know my opinions on all your bullshit.
The TRUTH is that this can be done by any 8-year old. The TRUTH is that you have never, and will never, see anyone bend a spoon without touching it.
If they do there is many green millions waiting for them, just to grab and give to the poor.
But woo woos won't do that. Either they think the poor, sick and starving should die, or they simply have no bullshit energies.
