The Ultimate Key Bending Routine

In the early 1970s, during the “Age of Aquarius,” Uri Geller, a young Israeli, captivated the world with his extraordinary “psychic” talents. Among his various demonstrations, it was his remarkable ability to bend silverware, keys, and nails that distinguished him from other psychics of the time. Following his rise to fame, many mentalists and magicians incorporated “metal bending” acts into their performances, developing numerous techniques and gimmicks to enhance the effect. However, while much of the contemporary focus has shifted to bending silverware and coins, the art of key bending has been largely overlooked. This is a missed opportunity, as Bob believes that the “psychic bending” of a borrowed key is one of the most powerful effects in mentalism. It also significantly amplifies the impact of subsequent effects involving coins, nails, or silverware. 1st edition 2002; 18 pages.Word count: 5,130, equivalent to 20 standard pages of text.
