I have been bending silverware for years, and I once used some cheap and weak spoons... Never ever again!!
Why ? Well, people tend to think that you just have strong hands, strong fingers and you're fast... It becomes more like a "tour de force" than a mental trick.
Ever since I realized that, I have never used other silverware than strong one, the one that people can hardly bend with their two hands. They think "He can use his mind to bend things that I can hardly bend with my two hands"... It is even more impressive but at the same time, it almost sell the effect. Inconsciously, they think "It is not possible to bend it like that with hands, therefore, the only way to do it has to be another one... a mystical one..."
Of course it does require some amount of strength..of course it requires a great amount of practice... But that is the only way it can be really effective.
