Unlock the Ultimate Psychokinetic Feat: Bob Cassidy's 'Bent On Strange'
Step into the mind of a master with Bob Cassidy's 'Bent On Strange,' a comprehensive guide to the art of key bending. While the early 1970s saw a surge in psychokinetic demonstrations, inspired by figures like Uri Geller, the focus often shifted from the intensely personal and impactful bending of borrowed keys to other objects. Bob Cassidy, however, champions key bending as the most potent form of this incredible illusion, and within these 18 pages, he reveals his ultimate routine.
The Unrivaled Impact of Key Bending
Imagine the astonishment as a borrowed key visibly bends in your hands or even in the spectator's own grasp. Unlike silverware or coins, a key carries a profound personal connection, making its alteration an almost unthinkable violation of reality. Cassidy argues that mastering the art of key bending not only stands as a formidable effect on its own but also primes your audience, making subsequent demonstrations with coins, nails, or spoons far more believable and impactful. This routine delves into the nuances that make this effect truly devastating, ensuring your audience is left with an unforgettable memory of the impossible.

The Ultimate Key Bending Routine.
In the early 1970’s, at the "dawning of the Age of Aquarius," a young Israeli named Uri Geller attracted worldwide attention with his "psychic" abilities. While he demonstrated several paranormal skills, it was his "psychokinetic" ability to bend silverware, borrowed keys, and nails that set him apart from other "New Age" psychics. In the years that followed many mentalists and magicians added "metal bending" routines to their repertoires, and many sleights and gimmicks have been devised to facilitate the effect.
You may have noticed that most of the modern material on the subject deals with silverware and coins. Key bending seems to have fallen by the wayside. This is unfortunate, for the "psychic bending" of a borrowed key is, in Bob's opinion, the strongest effect of the genre. It also makes a performer’s subsequent coin, nail, or silverware bending far more effective.
