> Mind Over Metal by Menny Lindenfeld

Great bend, but not a very good explanation Report this review

The bend is great, I love it. It looks very realistic without using big movements. The bend is a little more complicated than bends such as in Psychokinetic silverware and Liquid metal, but it's not hard. It just requires a bit of practise.

My only complaint (and the reason why I did not give this 5 stars) is the explanation. I had to rewind and rewatch it multiple times just to know REMOTELY what I was supposed to do. Maybe this is just a problem I have, maybe I don't understand this kind of instruction, but I did not have such a problem with neither Psychokinetic Silverware nor Liquid metal. Actually, I have not had this explanation with ANY DVD's or videos before.

First off, when he explains, he doesn't just show you how to do the trick, and explain all the subtleties that goes with it, he switches the spoons between his hands to show what he is doing, which, at least for me, is VERY confusing.
And of course, I can just watch it again and catch up, but my second problem lies there. Every time (maybe not everytime, but very often) he explains a new part of the trick, he shows the trick from the beginning again, which made it a huge pain to rewatch.
And maybe it was just me how saw wrong, but I am pretty sure I saw him hold the spoons one way at one second, and another way the next, even though he was showing the same part.

Don't let this discourage you from buying it, though. It's a great, powerful, spoon bend, and I will definitely use it, but between the increased complexity (again, it's not hard, just a little more complex) compared to other bends, and the difficult-to-follow explanation, it took a while to sink in.
