True. However two people have speculated/hinted as to the likely type of prop used. IMO, by modifying the hinted prop, such bends and twists are quite feasible. One need to find out whether Jon Allen has been credited for his work, and if so, my speculation should hit the nail on the head.

BTW, I own Flexion by Jon Allen, but I never liked the prop as it needs considerable physical strength to make a simple flat key to bend. It lacks the desired mechanical leverage needed, as the prop as well as the key are short in length and thus you don't get the desired leverage. But that's just me, others experience may vary.

My thought s please.

i agree with Ustaad. too much leverage for minimal distorsion

Menny demonstrated this yesterday at Mindvention. It cannot bend coins, but that’s the only limitation. It’s quite simple and ingenious, and will seriously bend cutlery, keys, even nails with next to no effort. Menny had several people try it during his lecture, and it was remarkably easy. Choreography shouldn’t be difficult, and no more misdirection is need then for any spoon/fork bending you may already do. And if you don’t do any metal bending, this is a great tool to get started on the path.

RichOrvec: The video we have got shows some pretty good clean bends especially in the fork handles and nails. Was that your experience at Mindvention? That the curves in the bends looked as smooth as in the video?

Yes. The bends were easy and smooth. The nail was a 90 degree bend or pretty close to it with next to no effort.

Tine bends AND breaks were pretty cool as well.
