Liquid Forks by David Penn and World Magic Shop

Created by: David Penn, World Magic Shop

Liquid Forks is a visually stunning close-up magic trick where a seemingly ordinary metal fork undergoes impossible transformations right before the spectator's eyes. The magician often has a spectator sign the fork to prove it's not a duplicate, then with a simple rub or wave, the fork appears to bend in different directions, the head rises dramatically, and the entire fork can rotate a full 360 degrees, with the signature reappearing on the same side. This metal bending effect creates a surreal, organic illusion that defies physics, making it perfect for close-up, table, or strolling magic. When purchasing, buyers receive specially engineered forks designed for easy bending, along with a full tutorial download (often by David Penn) that includes a multi-phase routine, performance tips, and sometimes bonus material. The forks are endorsed by Morgan Strebler, creator of Liquid Metal, and are available through Alakazam Magic, often with limited stock and subscription options for refills.

Effect

Liquid Forks is a metal bending routine where a normal fork appears to twist and bend in impossible ways. A spectator can sign the fork to prove it is the same one throughout the performance.

This creates a strong visual impact and leaves the audience with a lasting impression.
