Metal Bending: the real work
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Ghyslain Dufresne (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 06 January, 2025)
I have been interested in magic for several years and I have had the chance to see Patrik Kuffs in show a few times; he is a good performer and his metal bending numbers are excellent.
For my part, as a magician, I consider myself a novice. This course on metal bending is really complete. It allows you to learn a multitude of bending techniques. You can see that the recording was made several years ago and that Patrik Kuffs' mother tongue is not English, but if you want to understand the inner workings of metal bending, this course will definitely suit you.

This is not a rank beginner’s product. Yes, it is a little stark, production-wise.
If you are on the market for lessons in basic misdirection and gaze control as well as spoon bending … such a product does not exist.
Yes, it is a little stark. But it is a nuts-and-bolt approach. Anyone capable of performing a coins across routine posesses the misdirective power to perform cutlery bending. What you’ll find on this release will make eyes pop out.
I have seen the original Camirand product. At the time, metal bending methodology was quite secretive. I happened to bump into Patrik at the time. I saw him perform that material successfully for formal groups, other magicians, and even a skeptical branch of CSICOP. That Patrik - who is a friend by now - would fool them was a given. He also managed to entertain them.
So you already know about metal bending, and wonder if the material is novel to you?
Depth-wise, the material resides between Ben Harris’ Gellerism Revealed (which is unfindable) and Ben Harris’ Bend it Like Geller … but it adheres much more to the former than to the latter.
This video is about doing. Performing.

This is not a great video to learn metal bending. All he does is show you how he actually bend the spoon but he never really cover ways to make the bend look like it's bending. From that video it seems to me that he doesn't really know about metal bending but wish to teach.

This is a varied collection of effects. Some of them are good, and some are just an interesting read that you'll probably never perform. The glow stick trick in particular requires a good bit of financial commitment on your part for a single trick that may be strong for Patrick but I don't know who else will go to the expense. There are card tricks and mentalism in here as well, and as I mentioned, even the tricks you won't do might give you a few ideas for something else.

This is a phenomenal method and builds further on the shoulders of giants who are also credited. As a collector and performer of many different Thought of Card routines. I am already brimming with ideas for this. It can play very well with the Invisible Deck, however you can take this much further. I am considering using this with John Bannon's Paint it Blank and I also have a further idea for a Mystery card routine with an implied transposition. I am also considering using this a predicted thought of card effect that I perform by Max Maven, that includes divining the thought of card and then proving that you predicted the card that would be thought of ahead of time.
The method is very direct and fast to establish the thought of card, no excessive procedure - which is important for me and my performing style. so this works very well for me.
It's very well thought out in its method and even comes with a very nice presentation idea to justify the method.
Delighted with this and its something that you will definitely use.

Patrik Kuffs has created a remarkable system that enables you to know a thought-of card without any questions or fishing. This is a download that comes with written instructions and a PDF card you can print off. This double-sided card can be printed on any size card from a business card to a larger card. I would highly recommend laminating this because it is something you can take with you anywhere and will definitely want to use. What makes this so good is how easy it is to use and the presentation ideas he offers. Patrik even suggests printing this out and putting it on a playing card box. This is so smart because now you can do this anytime you bring out your deck.
There is really nothing to memorize as any of the necessary secret is built into the card so he's thought of everything. As soon as you read the instructions you can follow along with a card and will be impressed at how it works.
He includes a great routine where he combines The Invisible Deck with Thought Swiper. You introduce the deck and the Thought Swiper Card. By combining this you can now have them mentally think of any card and without even having them name their card you can take out the deck and show the only card in there is the one they were thinking of. Just one of the many ways you can use this killer little tool. If you print this on a sticker, as suggested, then you can have it on the box for The Invisible Deck and now it makes total sense saying the Thought Transmitter knows your card.
I'm actually going to print this out and stick it on the deck I use for Richard Sander's Any Card deck. It takes the trick to a higher level simply because at no time do they reveal their card - only at the very end prior to you showing the thought-of cards.
If you've ever wanted a method to find out a thought of card without electronic gimmicks and is 100% sure fire this is an incredible way to do it. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
