Before investing in Psychokinetic Silverware, Liquid Metal, Richard Osterlind, or Metal by Dee Christopher, start here. This is the best bootcamp for Metal Bending. After this you can go any of these great performers directions, and then purchase Metal Bending Book by Richard Osterlind to further your skills. Metal bending is definately memorable, and everytime I perform it on the San Diegan Streets, this sucker builds a crowd. Banachek and Osterlind on this video make this seem so easy, it seems like you are cheating. Good luck with your Bending.

For a bit of background, I did metal bending before getting this. I did one little spoon bend and a couple of covered ones. I relied more on Psychology than visuals to really give it a "bend"... But MAN, after seeing this... NOTHING can really beat a VISUAL bend... And Banachek and Richard Osterlind are probably THE most qualified to teach these things as ANYONE.

Wow; seriously. You WILL say "Wow!" when you see the AWESOME stuff on this DVD; Both Banachek and Richard have some CRAZY great stuff that is TOTALLY original. And you KNOW you are getting the best because it is culled from ALL the four volumes Banachek has done (with L&L) and all the 12 or so that Richard has done. This stuff is CRAZY good and you WILL be doing this.

Not to mention the sheer amount of easy moves on here; Richard teaches TONS of great, easy stuff that a beginner can do. Both have valuable advice about doing this for real audiences, and Richard actually has a part where he tells you how to do this stuff on camera. The teaching and experience is just SUPERB.

Not to mention the variety of stuff on here; it is absolutely crazy. You get stuff for close-up (spoons, forks, nails, keys) but you EVEN get a FANTASTIC, EASY Railroad Spike bend. I made up one of these in... 2 days? Plus, it plays HUGE and can be played up as dramatic OR comedy.


I really, really like this material and if you have ANY interest in Metal Bending of ANY sort, you will too.

Now this is the way to learn how to perform metal bending! The instruction is top notch, the method are simple and approachable, and the effects are mind bending. After watching this you will be able to go from beginner to reverse engineering other magician's bending acts in no time. Not to mention Hooters Girls bringing you more silverware to bend. Better learn all the routines on the dvd to make those beautiful jaws drop.

ITS SO GOOD YOU CANT BELIEVE IT THE RAILROAD SPIKE BEND IS GREAT AND PEOPLE WILL NEVER QUESTION YOUR ABILITIES AGAINAND I JUST LOVE THE RICHARD OSTERLIND SPOON BEND WERE IT LOOKS LIKE THE SPOON THATS SET ON YOUR HAND BENDS UP BY ITSELF AND THE CUTLERY SPRAY LOOKS GREAT AND IS A GOOD VISUAL FOR STAGE AND WITH ALL THE KEY BENDS AND NAIL BENDS AND HOW YOU CAN BEND A BOROWED KEY INSIDE SOMONE ELSE'S HAND FOR SOMEONE WHO'S SEEN YOU PREFORM FORTHE FIRST TIME ITS VERY POWERFULL AND THIS DVD WILL HELP BEGINNERS,INTERMEDIATE, AND ADVANCED PREFORMERS CAUSE THIS IS ORIGINAL MATERIAL FROM BANACHECK AND RICHARD OSTERLIND AND EVEN IF YOUR NOT A METAL BENDER YOU ADD SOME OF THIS TO YOUR MAGIC SHOW YOUR GOLDEN SO JUST TRUST ME ADD TO CART AND FOR 15 BUCKS ITS WELL WORTH MORE THAN DOUBLE DONT THINK ABOUT IT ADD TO CART!!!!!

This is a great metal bending DVD but, if you own the Richard Osterlind and Banachek DVDs, you have this information already.
If this were a DVD of Banachek WITH Richard Osterlind discussing metal bending, it would be THE DVD to have!

Penguin: Can you get a Penguin Live with these two together?

I purchased this many years ago and I can say that if you're interested in metal bending this is the only resource you need. Richard Osterlind is a fantastic teacher and you get bonus Banachek material. Cool stuff!!

This is metal bending at its best...... Richard and banachek leaves no stone unturned... Every move Every effect is moulded with subtleties which make it jaw dropping........ And you can also discover some of banachek psychokinetic silverware bends with a little bit of thinking...... I discovered all of the bends.... This DVD is legendry.
