I almost didn't want to do this review,(selfish motivation) but here goes.I didn't perform this effect for a couple years or so after I mastered it.I just didn't think it would be practical in a real world application.I couldn't have been more wrong. You see, the way I practice is in the street before a real audience made up of people most of which I don't know.I was looking to try something new out for my paid gigs. So I decided to give "liquid Metal" a spin. I hit the pavement, kicked the tires,went from zero to WOW in seconds flat. While I was performing this powerhouse effect this one guy whose eyes had gotten as wide as ping pong balls, grabbed my wrist and asked "Hey man!, are you hypnotizing me!?!"... "I..I..I can't believe I'm seeing this!!!" To which I replied, No sir, it's just good magic. Admittedly, I was just as stunned by the overwhelming reactions as they were with the illusion! I immediately new this pearl would now go into my working repertoire.I did it as a closer in my next paid gig.The spectator I chose actually screamed "OUTRAGEOUS!!!!" and took off running.Contrary to what has been said the explanations are extremely thorough and clear. True it does take a bit of finger strength. As with any effect time, practice, and patience will take care of any obstacles that may arise.So to all my magical peeps, don't sleep on this as I did....don't cheat your specs, treat your specs!! buy!, buy!, and so long too...Layta!

Okay, here is my review...
I bought this last month, and am very pleased with what I got. The teaching on the DVD was awesome, and there was a lot of performance footage, which is always nice. BUT.... This trick is really only for some people. What you need for this routine is #1 large tough hands. The moves themselves require you to have decently strong adult sized hands. If you are a young magician, I would not get it. #2 a large supply of forks. Just for one day of practice, I used 20 forks. You can get them cheap at Walmart, like 5 for a buck. #3 you need patience and the willingness to learn it. The effects of this routine are amazing, but they take a lot of practice. All in all, It is an amazing routine that can be performed nearly anywhere, but it is only for certain people. Thanks!

Once you get the moves down this is truly amazing. Timing and creative presentation will take some time to develop. Beginners should expect to do a whole lot of practice. Most of these moves require strength in the fingers. Morgan is great job teaching step-by-step with different angles. This is well worth the cost.

I buy virtually every new popular (and sometimes unheard of) effect put out on the market. Liquid Metal stands by itself as the single best trick I own, both from a polished routine perspective as well as audience reaction.

After burning through 3,000+ forks, I can assure you - if I only had one trick to perform for the remainder of my life, it would be Liquid Metal.

Please don't buy this, I don't need any competition. I've been performing Liquid Metal for about 4 years now, and it's one of the most powerful effects I do. The audience reaction is tremendous and it works equally well for all ages. The forks are easily bought through amazon.com, and the practice necessary is worth it. You DON'T have to be a strongman to do it, you just have to practice until you get the feel -- after that, the rest is showmanship and misdirection. If you like to do stunning magic with ordinary objects, this one is a reputation builder.

OK so I got the DVD download, not the DVD so yes I did buy this product.

I personally didn't like it because
1) I don't have money to buy a large quantity of forks
2) I don't have the hand strength for the trick.

Really look at those options before you decide to buy.

Other than that, assuming you're some 24 year old adult, you probably would want to buy this trick. There is very good misdirection, no gimmicks. The teaching is very good, as Morgan even did a little tutoring session with another magician. With enough practice I think if you can afford forks and have strong hands, you can benefit from this DVD. But just like I said, don't buy if you can't afford to buy many forks and have weak hands.

First off, I would like to say that if you are beginner, I might stay away from this for a while. It is going to take a lot of practice and effort to get this right but once you do, you'll have a trick that will leave your audience stunned. The good thing about this video is that Morgan goes into great detail while explaining the method so you won't find yourself rewinding it twenty times before you understand. If you've been doing magic for a while and you are looking for something new and interesting, pick this up and start practicing.

I personally felt that this DVD lacked something in the instruction. It had better performances than the teaching. They edited this almost flawlessly and it was filmed beautifully but I wasn't a huge fan of the teaching. Sure it was filmed in a nice studio and he went into detail but I didn't take a ton away. And the corkscrew bend and the key bends weren't very well taught so I really didn't learn them. But the perfromances were great nonetheless. I suggest buying this just for that. Nothing too original here though

I have purchased just about all the best stuff out there on Metal Bending. This is by far one of the best as well as Psychokinetic Silverware by Banacheck (also available from penguin) http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=16

He really goes in depth on the teaching so a complete noob can learn this. Be warned. It will take time to build up the strength to bend the silverware.

I perform a variation of this in my act EVERY NIGHT I perform. This is one of the most talked about things that I do.

Do Not buy this trick.
This was not what I would expect for the Price, The instructional video was very poor, with very little instruction.
