Very well packaged. Looks old school.
The instructional download is clear and comprehensive. Menny demonstrates and explains things concisely but just the right amount of info.
There is however no full public performance of the gimmick in play.
I would have liked to have seen a full performance as he did with his coin bending gimmick Ox Bender.
There is an index at the start of the video so that you can move to whatever part of the video that you are interested in. The quality of the video is excellent.
The explanations on the video cover bends for spoons, nails, keys and forks. Heaps of different types of bends.
The gimmick is well designed, nothing fancy, and innocent looking. It appears to be indestructible. It is sturdy and should last a life time.
Everything that is claimed in the advertising seems to be accurate.
I bought it for the corkscrew bend(neck twist). I have always been fascinated with this type of bend. With a bit of practice, and a bit of strength , the bend is very achievable. I had it down very quickly.
Menny doesn't discuss routining that well. Just distract them and do the bend. Give them another spoon to look at to see if it is straight.....
So a bit of time has to be devoted to the routining of this gimmick. I will use my coin bending routine for this but with a spoon or fork.
Or you can do it directly in front of them and show how strong you are ( he says this on the video:-))
One thing that wasn't mentioned in his video, is that you can do a crazy balancing stunt with the gimmick. This will be obvious to anyone who buys it.
Great product.

I get a strange 'sansminds' kind of feeling when theres no live performance of the effect , everything else seems to be there , very informative and descriptive , just makes me wonder why he would omit that. Makes me think its more suitable for pre work rather than on the spot practical bends...
