The Bent Spoon – When the impossible happens where it shouldn’t

Here is a true classic of illusionism, now available for the first time printed on genuine Bicycle Rider Back cards by USPCC.

You show a small packet of cards to your spectators. Each card displays the image of a spoon. One spectator selects a card and signs it, making it completely unique. The signed card is placed face down on their own hand — a position where nothing could possibly happen.

With a simple gesture and light pressure, the impossible occurs.

When the spectator turns over their signed card, the spoon image is now visibly bent. The effect is instant, visual, and deeply unsettling. It doesn’t happen on the table. It doesn’t happen in your hands. It happens in theirs.

This is mind over matter in its most playful, visual, and surprising form.

Why magicians love this classic

• Printed by USPCC on genuine Bicycle Rider Back cards
• Very easy to perform, suitable for all skill levels
• Clear, detailed instructions included
• Can be repeated endlessly if unsigned or with removable labels
• For special moments, the spectator can keep the signed card as a souvenir

This is the kind of effect that doesn’t need justification. It’s remembered because it’s experienced.

Add it to your repertoire and turn a simple image into an unforgettable impossibility.
