Spoonbender
- it's become a term used to insult those with an interest in
the paranormal. Personally, I don't think there's anything paranormal
about the phenomenon because it seems so downright NORMAL when
you do can do it. For a very good description of what I'm talking
about, Michael Crichton's non-fiction book "Travels"
describes his own experience with cutlery mutation. Whatever it
is, it works just as well on forks - so I prefer to use the term
'forkbending' to try to avoid the crazy connotations associated
with 'spoonbending'. Besides, forks make more interesting shapes
on the whole, although they're a little scarier to work with.

admit it is weirdness of the highest order, but it's weirdness that
is very real. Everyday people can do it, which is why I'm so amazed
it's still controversial. You could probably do it yourself. I'm
no expert, but I started this site because there's so little about
it on the web. I wanted to share my own amateur experience and hopefully
encourage others who are more expert than me to bring their own
knowledge to the web. I'm not really sure how it works, but it's
fascinating anyway. |

It
seems that anything about 'anomalous experiences' on the internet
falls into one of three categories: kooky 'there are aliens among
us and there's a government conspiracy to cover it up' sites;
arrogant 'skeptics' sites which often contain statements like
'there is NO scientific evidence to back up any claims of the
paranormal' - obviously these people haven't been to the (rare)
third category of site, and that which I find most fascinating
- serious scientific sites investigating experiences similar to
this, such as that at Princeton University. They're studying things
like how the brain-waves of stressed pilots can affect the highly
sensitive equipment in a cockpit - scary, but true! Check out
my links for sites like these, as well as a few of the kooky ones.
You never know where you might find something that turns out to
be factual. I never would have thought I could bend a fork, but...
there goes another one!
I
hope you enjoy the site, and remember:
There
are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt
of in your philosophy.

Yep, Jasper was being a bit impatient here and skipped the 'channeling'
stage, so you can see he still used a bit of force. There are big,
thick antique pieces of cutlery/flatware though, and he's not using
a huge amount of force. Anyway, make up your own mind. Try it.
We
might shoot some new video for the step-by-step now you can upload
good quality video for free. Oh how I love web 2.0!
