On rare occasions a trick comes along that is so stunning, it is destined to become a classic of magic. Such a trick is METALOGIC, a true lesson in magic.
In this brilliant close-up routine, an ordinary teaspoon, examined and marked by the audience, bends and then breaks. The magician then does something that no spoon-bender, psychic or otherwise, can do — he RESTORES the spoon visibly. The restored spoon is then handed out for examination, and the marks may be verified.
Now comes the sensational finish. The magician takes back the spoon, holds it in one hand, and without cover causes the spoon to visibly bend. Then, still with no cover, he causes the spoon to straighten. The spoon is immediately tossed out for examination.—Catalog of Magic
Remember that this incredible routine is done openly and visibly. The audience sees the spoon bend and break, and they see the magician restore the spoon. What sets this trick apart is the brilliant handling. It can be done standing or seated, with spectators on all sides, because there is no lapping or angles to worry about. In developing this routine, inventor Fred Baumann has brought to magic a brilliant new close-up illusion. $8.50
