Bending spoons, and all that.

A few days ago, I watched a video created by Michael Shermer (of the Skeptic Society) about spoon bending. Now, he didn't bend spoons with his mind. Instead, he used a bit of science.




But, with a little bit of ignorance on the part of the observer, it seems easy to see how one can be fooled into believing that physic powers are behind this phenomenon. 

I can only hope Shermer does more videos like this that explain away a lot of pseudoscience and magical thinking.

    More vids explaining this type of nonsense is always good. If only more people would watch them, instead of "Having Faith"
