A complete STUNNER and easily one of my best purchases of the last year! I've been using Flexion for
about 2 weeks and the KEY thing to remember (pun intended) is that this is not simply "just another"
key bending gimmick. The thought process that Jon Allen went through here is what makes this so much
more than just a bend and takes it into the stratosphere of blowing spectators away - especially the
idea about naming a person that the spectator "hates."
Last night my amateur Magician 11
year old daughter bent a key and nearly broke it! That is how easy FLEXION is to use...she was a
little surprised at her own strength.
Jon Allen explains all of this in great detail on the
included DVD. I correspond with magician Jon Allen often about Flexion and he is quite proud of it.
I LOVE IT... and the reactions have been super every single time - some people are quite spooked at
the end.
For the reasonable price of $40 you will have a superb and powerful piece of
magic. The whole package is presneted ian a gorgeous black velvet box, the ingenious and well hidden
gimmick will last you forever and is beautifully crafted to perfection.
I like using keys
made of brass, and they are easy to obtain from any Home Depot or locksmith- the DVD explains what
to look for.
It is VERY important to use the "hate" presentation - Jon Allen beleived this
is what makes Flexion so much more than just another key bender, because you are making the
spectator "care" and inter-twining their emotions into the metal key - the bend is just a
manifestation of those emotions.
I would give FLEXION 5 stars - and you will be bending the
same day. There is a key switch move that to me is the only thing that I need to practice a little -
easy, but a little practice needed to be smooth. The bend itself is buttery easy - totally on an off
beat. Highly recommended.

Lots of bends around, this one, due to the routine and gimmick supplied, is off the chart.

I do quite a bit of metal bending. You name it. Over the years similar gimmicks went for 200.00 or
even up to 500.00. The gimmick is awesome and with a bit of misdirection you will knock off there
socks. This is so worth the price,

Not only is this fantastic value for money for a metal bending type effect, it is so nicely packaged
and presented, and most importantly, the gimmick is super easy to use and perfect for walkaround and
close up. It hits hard when presented well and it gives plenty of opportunity for spectator
involvement.
possible negative is the fact that we're using keys. some might not like that,
some might have a problem with borrowing keys, but Jon allen talks about that in the DVD.
Overall, Very good and highly recommended.

I bought this because I needed something to add to a key routine. I was skeptical and didn't use it,
until a month later. DANG!! The first time I performed it, they were fried!!
The gimmick is top
notch, very unassuming, and you would be surprised how much time you have to do the dirty work, a
ridiculous amount of time. Highly recommend getting it and worth buying more than one, just in case
you lose it.
