I don't think it was the product that was necessarily bad, but more the advertising. They advertise this to be a KILLER new cutlery bend, but honestly, the bend wasn't that great and that put more of an emphasis on the other two routines presented here.

I honestly didn't really like any of them; none of the routines on here are THAT original or THAT amazing... I can't really say I recommend this DVD for what is on it, and if you want to learn metal bending, go with something good like Liquid Metal or WGM: Metal Bending.

Not worth the money, not recommended.

This spoon bending is great, I use it nearly every day, probably bending 90+ forks a month. Yes, I prefer forks. Pair this with Liquid Metal and you have a 4+ minute, jaw dropping routine. (BTW, I buy forks at SAM'S Club 36 for around ).

Yes, this is easy to do with thinner spoons/forks, as is ALL bending. It does take a little practice distracting people and you may need to build up a little muscle - but it is a wonderful bend. Anyone that says different obviously doesn't understand metal bending very well.

All spoons can be bent, but some really heavy duty ones take a bit more distraction, and you may have to use your thigh, and still not be able to get the same amount of bend. Remember, for your audience, dramatic bends say "trick spoons - not real magic". Slight bends say real "MAGIC". The nice thing about Chad's is that it gives the ILLUSION of bending right in front of their eyes, when the real work is done later (or earlier, if you prefer).

First off the negatives. The price is a bit much for only 3 effects. Also the rubberband effect isn't that great.

Mind Bender (the spoon bend) however, is incredible. Before seeing this I really felt you couldn't get much mileage out of a spoon so I stuck to Morgan Strebler's Liquid metal. But now I combine Mind Bender with Liquid Metal to make an unbeatable combination.

Holy Grail coin routine is extremely difficult. The overall sleights aren't that hard, but some are very knacky and take quite a bit of time to perfect. I can't believe Chad says he uses this regularly in walk around gigs. I would miss some of the moves too much.

I bought this DVD a few years ago and I must say...I have never liked it. Let's review the effects: Holy Grail-(which is available as a download here) is probably the only thing I sort of liked on the DVD. It's a three coin appearance and vanish. The moves are very weird and the last vanish is just completely weird. Rubber band link (I can't remember the name now)- Two rubber bands link together. Meh. Now that I think about it, it's not half bad. Mind Bender- This was the main thing I got the DVD for. I figured it out by watching the performance only once. The spoon needs to be somewhat flexible. Just go and get the Holy Grail download instead of this DVD.

ok this dvd really depends on wether u already do a spoon bend, if u have a routine that is a "typical" spoon bend, then get this dvd, itl really change ur routine but if ur just looking for a method of bending spoons then there are much more cheaper and easier to leanr ways!
but the dvd still rocks!!!

i hate this guy's style of teaching. he goes lightning fast and it is impossible to follow, he never goes over things too, this dvd sucks!, don't get it even if its free!!

The spoon bend is an ingenious technique. Excpet for the fact that he must be using some really thin spoons because i cannot do it with most spoons i see.

The holy grail is a really good coin trick which is what i think makes the DvD.

The rubberband link isn't really that useful. That trick is something you would do to a little kid.

in the end i thought it was an okay DvD for the money ( even though i got it as a bonus :) )

This is one of my favorite spoon bends. I have done this about 6 times to the same person and they have got smacked right between the eyes every time. They were blown away. I love this spoon bend and it has never let me down. You do have to practice it to get it right. I started doing it after a half hour. Add it and you wont regret it.

This is a great DVD. It does seem a little short, but it's totally worth the money.

Spoon bend- loooks so real. Can be performed with different angles.

Holy grail. Awsome Routne. Does take some practice though.

Master link- Great addition to the classic link.

If he went any faster in his instruction he would approach light speed. Also, he must be bending very light weight spoons because I'm having relatively no luck with it.
