If a magician has control over the viewing angle, the trick can be done by using a spoon that is already bent at the start of the trick. The spoon is initially held with the bend along the viewing angle, making it invisible. The magician then turns the spoon slowly to reveal the bend. The magician Ben Harris, author of the book "Gellerism Revealed: The Psychology and Methodology Behind the Geller Effect" (1985), revealed step-by-step photographs and text showing how to bend keys and cutlery by trick methods.
