The Effect:
A large steel nail measuring 6 inches long and 1/4 of an inch thick is examined by a spectator. The performer then holds the nail at its center by the tips of the forefinger and thumb. The performer concentrates, and the nail begins to soften, then bend to almost 90 degrees! This is shown from all angles, it really is bent! Concentrating again , the nail slowly begins to straighten back up, once straight, it is then immediately handed out for examination. No switches! The examined nail is the one that bends and straightens! The speed, angle, and start-stop action of the bend is under the control of the performer at all times.
