Transforming metal is a powerful demonstration of psychokinesis for magicians and mentalists. However, simply bending a fork or spoon no longer captivates modern audiences. So, how can you elevate the metal deformation effect to make it more striking?

Magician Conan Liu showcased this extraordinary effect on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, where he magically transforms a metal spoon into a fork in a surprising manner! Together with his collaborator Royce Luo, they have crafted this remarkable effect for you to perform, just like on the show.

This prop set includes various versions (as seen in the trailer) that enable you to seamlessly switch a metal spoon into a fork in multiple scenarios. After the trick, the fork can be handed to the spectator for examination, and it can even be signed or kept as a memento. You can also incorporate it into a prediction effect: draw common tableware on blank cards and have an audience member select one. When you reveal your prediction from an envelope that has been on the table, it appears to be a spoon—suggesting a failure. Then, with a magical gesture or a smoke effect (if you have a smoke device), the spoon transforms into a fork right before their eyes.

Additionally, this effect can serve as an introduction to your “Fork Bending” routine: simply pull a spoon from your cutlery, swing it, and watch it instantly change into a fork! Pair it with a gimmicked salt shaker, “magma hand,” or other props to leave a lasting impression of your “supernatural abilities” on your audience.
