Pinch

One of the most visual and bizarre magic effects you've ever seen. Demonstrate your super strength and extreme pain tolerance.

Warning: This effect may be too shocking for some people. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you're looking to make a strong impact on your audience, this is your effect.

Here's what the audience sees: the magician places several needles on the table and asks someone to pick one up. They hold it by both ends between their fingertips with no more protection than their skin, and under these conditions, they are able to squeeze it until it bends without getting hurt.

Of course, the hands are examinable throughout the process, there's nothing extra to hide, and yet no one will be able to replicate the phenomenon. At the end, the spectator will keep the bent object as an impossible souvenir of what they just witnessed.

In addition to this basic effect, you'll also learn a bunch of brilliant ideas for applying the same principle to other sharp objects: nails, surgical needles, safety pins, etc. 30 minutes of explanatory video concluding with a bonus of one of the most visual psychic metal bends you've ever seen.
