Spoon bending is a hot topic and a reader, Shannan Rohde, has written in the previous article about bending spoons, How to bend a spoon using your mind, about his spoon bending experience. Many other readers asked him to provide the pictures and detailed instructions. Below are his instructions plus some pictures of him and the bent spoon.
Everyone is encouraged to try. If you succeed please send your mail and photos to me and I will post your success stories and photos on this website as well.
Your age should not have anything to do with it actually. I will give you a step by step on how I did it and hopefully, you should be able too as well. I am 36 years old, but I have been “Sensitive since I can remember”. The steps to bend a spoon:

Update2: There’s now a video of Shannan doing the bending. See it at Spoon bending video
- Go to your drawer and pick out 10 or so spoons. And lay them out on the table. Use your feeling and let them tell you which spoon will bend. (I know it sounds funny but this is what I did the first time).
- When you feel you have the right spoon and mind you pick one that is fairly thin to start out with.
- Hold the spoon vertical and look at it and ask it to bend. Or say you will bend for me. Really believe it.
- Start your meditation. Breathe in and breathe out. Breathe in energy from the universe and imagine it as a golden ball above your head.
- Breathe out negative feelings and put the recycled air into your solar plexus. (The energy)
- Keep doing this for about 15 breaths while massaging the spoon just below the bowl of it.
- Make yourself lightheaded while really concentrating on your breathing and producing energy and thinking the spoon will bend.
- Then at the point of when you feel you’re ready with all thoughts clear except the spoon get ready
- Look at the spoon for about 2 seconds and think you will bend for me, while still breathing, breathe faster and hype yourself up.
- Look out the window or at something for about 1 second and start to bend the spoon, and say very loud BEND! BEND! BEND! (really get into it) you will notice that the spoon becomes like rubber.
- Your spoon will feel like rubber and it will bend for you.
- After you have bent the spoon around two or three times, lay it down and wait about 1 min. the spoon will harden again.
I have noticed that the more people that are around you the collective energy will help you get there more. Make a lot of noise laugh I did this the other day and it was my fifth spoon and it felt like rubber. Have them touch the spoon before bending it.
You have to believe the spoon will bend. Tell yourself you have done this a million times already. After you have a spoon bent, keep it around you and whenever you have doubt look at it and remember that you did this and you can do this again.
You will bend the spoon, I promise.
The photos I have enclosed it of my fourth spoon bending. And yes there is a little physical force behind it, but not enough to bend it like the photos I send you. You will do this. I promise and it does take practice. The secret is in the meditation. You are transferring energy to the spoon and making it apart of you, like bending your finger.
None of these photos was photoshopped except to reduce the size to 640 by 480.
Thank you,

Shannan has also sent some photos and a description of them. First, some photos of the bent spoon. Notice how it is twisted three times.
Now, some photos of Shannan bending the spoons. His wife has photographed them. The photos have some anomalies in them. Shannan has 2 possible cause for them:
- That the camera had flaws in it
- That what you see is the energy (psychic or Metaphysical)
Look closely at the this one and you can see the energy start to spark on the spoon, it is reddish.
Shannan believes this to be a 4d multi-dimension capture. The photo of him on the right is not torquing the spoon but him intensely saying BEND! BEND! BEND!

Hi, do I really need negative emotion to bend the spoon? I really don’t want to scream at it.
Hi Shannan,
I am Tejas from India. I went through your technique for spoon bending but despite my best effort many a times the spoon did not bend even a bit. I am confused as to what is actually required to do this. breathing, concentrating everything was just ok but it did not happen. I don’t know pls guide me in this
It looks to me like they are rubbing the spoon with their thumb just a little higher than their other fingers to make the spoon bend to create the illusion of bending it with their mind, applying enough force to bend the spoon as if they used both hands to do it. They say use your mind to do rather than tell their magicians secret. The people who have succeeded and commented on here have probably bent it with their thumb and not having realized it cause they were so focused on the trick. If your strong enough, you probably could bend it one handed with a little practice. Look at the picture of James Randi doing it, for example. His thumb rubs up and down applying force to the back of the spoon, slightly higher than his other fingers.
I couldn’t bend the spoon I just got a nose bleed… ~_~
Woke up with an urge to do this… Found this site and the first time doing it – I did a double twist in two different spoons! It works!
I bent them like butter! (PS, I couldn’t rub the spoon because my thumb kept sticking to it, and skipping into of sliding… So I decided to just lightly hold it for 5 deep breaths before double looping them instead…
Thanks so much for the insight of how to do this! Only wish I could upload the pics!
I’ll have them on my website soon…

PPS: I’m a very tiny 55 yr old woman – under 5 ft! So there’s no brute force here… And yet they bent like butter!
This is fake: the reason they ask you to rub the spoon is to transfer your body heat to it, there for making it bendable since it’s getting closer to it’s melting point.
Hi Zed…..it is simply not possible to bend a spoon by rubbing it. The melt point of Iron is over 1500c and to even just weaken most metals a temperature off over 400c is needed which of course is well beyond any temperature you could achieve with body heat or friction from your hand.
Omg! It worked! I’ve been meditating A LOT lately, so it worked the first time that I tried, but as soon I thought about that I’m just bending it, it is so thin, it hardened. I tried a second time and bent it all the way and it hardened again. I feel “tired” now, so I will have to try (and probably practice) again with a much thicker spoon to prove to myself.
Step 10 was really hard 🙁
wow this really works
