Effect

Liquid Forks is a metal bending effect where a seemingly ordinary fork twists, bends, and rotates in impossible ways. The magician often has a spectator sign the fork to eliminate any suspicion of switching. The fork can bend in multiple directions, rise dramatically, or even spin 360 degrees while the signature remains visible. The effect is visual, interactive, and leaves a lasting impression on audiences.

What people are saying about Liquid Forks

AlakazamMagicUK says...

Liquid Forks are back in stock. Limited availability due to high demand. Includes tutorials for the effect and bonus material.

magic-tv says...

A surreal effect where forks appear to melt or bend unnaturally. Given Craig’s focus on close-up magic, they probably analyze the visual impact, reset time, and how it plays to lay audiences versus magicians.
