There are several methods of creating an [[illusion]] of a spoon spontaneously bending. Most common is the practice of misdirection, an underlying principle of many [[magic (illusion)|stage magic]] [[tricks]]. In one or several brief moments of distraction, a "psychic"/magician can physically bend a spoon unseen by the audience, then gradually reveal the bend and thus create the illusion that the spoon is bending before the viewers' eyes. The spoons usually bend at the point where the bowl met the handle, where bending would require the least force. |

There are several methods of creating an illusion of a spoon spontaneously bending. Most common is the practice of misdirection, an underlying principle of many stage magic tricks. In one or several brief moments of distraction, a "psychic"/magician can physically bend a spoon unseen by the audience, then gradually reveal the bend and thus create the illusion that the spoon is bending before the viewers' eyes. The spoons usually bend at the point where the bowl met the handle, where bending would require the least force.
