IT 9OK, SAID UgI. This is what I do.
He took the small coffee spoon I had brought with me
and held the tip of the bowl between the thumb and forefinger
of his right hand, with the underside of the bowl facing upwards,
and began to stroke the stem lightly with the forefinger of his
left hand. I looked, as instructed.
I looked as carefully as I have ever looked at anything. I had
been waiting more than ten years for my first private audience
with this controversial Israeli, who had divided much of the
world into two bitterly opposed camps, one of which claimed
him to be the greatest demonstrator of paranormal or psychic
power in history, the other insisting he was just an unusually
smart magician. I had never managed to decide which was right,
and felt it was time that I did.
It was undoubtedly my spoon. I had received it, together with
an identical one, as a free offer from a Dutch coffee company a
few weeks previously, and I did not take my eyes off it from
the moment I handed it to him until he gave it back to me
three or four minutes later. He was not wearing a watch, I
noticed, or a ring, or a belt, and the copper bracelet on his right
arm was well beyond the reach of the end of the spoon. The
more obvious ways of spoon-bending by sleight-of-hand were
thus ruled out. There were others, and I was ready for them.
Did you bring a camera~ he asked, after some more rubbing
of my spoon with his left forefinger.
Aha, I said to myself. Misdirection. While I am fumbling m
my bag for my camera and adjusting the speed and shutter
opening, he is going to make some very quick movements and
bend the spoon by muscle power, not psychic power. This is
what sceptical friends had assured me he would do if given the
chance.
