Magic Tricks

As a working professional and probably one of the better fork bender in my area (I have bent a few thousand forks in the last few years alone), and as someone who does fork bending for all my close up shows, I highly recommend this DVD. I have probably watched and read almost all the major DVDs and books on metal bending I can get my hands on, and I still highly recommend Liquid Metal as the best DVD on the topic. Morgan Strebler's style is strong, in-your-face, and is very practical for close up or walk around. The corkscrew (stem twist) is an absolute reputation killer and is actually what sells this effect. This twist does take a little bit of practice, but it is absolutely worth it. When the audience find out that they cannot twist the stem back, that it is not a gimmicked fork, and that they actually get to keep the fork as a souvenir and therefore not a trick fork, it really blows their minds. Yes... I always get them to sign their names on the fork so that there is no way I could have switch it. I have built upon Morgan's DVD over the years to developed a personalized fork bending routine that has won me a street magic competition a couple of years ago. My current routine and approach is now very different from Morgan Strebler, but this DVD is foundational to what I perform. The bends in here are exactly what I use in my fork bending routine, even if my approach might be slightly different.

If I can give this a 6 star rating, I would. This is one of the DVDs that has really revolutionized my career. Take the time to practice what you learn here. It is worth the effort.
