• Resembles normal flatware... stainless steel coated in chrome
• Remains stable and straight at room temperature (Less than 25C or 77F)
• Activates ONLY when heat is applied (someone's hand, a flame, dipped in a cup of coffee)
• No angles, perform surrounded
• No switches
• No sleight of hand, works immediately
• Fully examinable
• Relentless real world testing... the fork works perfectly time and again for thousands of uses
• Written instructions AND downloadable video included with performance ideas, techniques, routines
• A breakthrough in memory metal infusion technology
• Manufactured with premium medical-grade materials
• Less than HALF the price of previous self bending forks

Performance ideas:

• End your metal bending routine with Shift placed in your spectator's closed fist. Watch their face as the metal starts to contract in their hand.

• Place Shift in a HOT brand glass. The temperature from the glass will heat the air inside and bend the fork without you ever touching it.

• Place Shift under a HOT, clear baking dish. The temperature from the glass will heat the air inside and bend the fork without you ever touching it AND create a barrier that you can't get through. Uri Geller has nothing on this.

• End your metal bending routine with Shift placed between YOUR and your SPECTATOR'S index fingers. Your combined energy will engage the bending of the metal.

Q: How do I use this? Am I going to have to learn from a manual? ?
A: Not even close. You'll be shown every detail in a video featuring master metal bender Morgan Strebler and Ellusionist Vice President Jason Brumbalow. You'll know more than enough to use Shift in your presentation and how to care for it.

Q: How do I reset the fork straight again?
A: There are many ways to reset the fork and all are described in the manual and video. The easiest way to reset the fork takes under 3 seconds and you're ready to go again.

Q: Can I leave the fork straight all the time?
A: Technically as long as you keep it in room temperature, you can. However, you should store it in it's bent state to keep the "bend tension" strong.

Q: What do you mean by room temperature?
A: Anything less than 25C or 77F.

Q: How long will this last?
A: As long as you adhere to the care guidelines, it will last indefinitely.

Q: Does the 'bend tension' ever wear out?
A: Again, as long as you adhere to the care and use guidelines, it will last indefinitely.

Q: Can it be bent back straight right after a spectator bends it?
A: No, that could ruin the gimmick. Make sure to properly reset the fork as outlined in the manual.

Q: How do I keep my spectators from trying to bend it back?
A:Audience management. Performing this for rowdy, drunken college guys or sugar-buzzed teen girls could be problematic. Choose your spectators carefully. Find someone willing to listen to your direction.

Q: Can they keep the bent fork?
A: Only if you're cool with it. But that's a lot of money. Try switching it out for a regular pre-bent fork to hand out.

Q: Does Shift really have to be a closing effect? I have this beautiful routine in mind where Shift works as a great opener?
A: You may know something we don't. But after a lot of street tests and other performances, we found that the effect Shift produces is so visceral that it's really hard to top. This effect plays STRONG -- strong enough to sabotage most other close-up effects -- and it's perfect for a big finish.

Q: Where can I find forks that look like this to bend in a bending rotuine?
A: Many places like Wal-Mart, Target, Dollar General, Dollar Store, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar all have 4-6 generic forks for a dollar that would work well.

Q: Do I have to perform this in room temperature? Or can I do street magic with this in the dead of summer in downtown Austin, Texas?
A: Yes, as long as you are inside an air-conditioned environment. But Shift is not recommended for outdoor gigs where the temperature could reach above 77 degrees.

Q: Why is it so expensive?
A: This is a precision-crafted gimmick. This is not just normal memory metal technology. The metal used here was engineered with metals created by medical companies and NASA. In fact, these forks pass through a medical manufacturing facility in order to set the proper bending temperatures. This is an expensive process. Considering that we've upgraded this fork AND cut the price in half from the previous model, this is a steal.

Q: Is it dishwasher-safe?
A: No. To clean the fork, just rinse it under cool tap water. Because it's heat-sensitive, hot water could damage it.

Q: Can I actually eat with this fork?
A: We did.

Instruction manual with performance tips and care guide

With your order, you will get a link to a downloadable video by Jason Brumbalow and leading Metal Bending Expert, Morgan Strebler teaching care, use and tips and tricks for performing and resetting Shift.

You will also get a password to a private forum here on the Ellusionist Forums where you can exchange ideas, tips and tricks.

Remember, this is a closing effect. You have to warm up your spectators before performing this. Shift is otherworldly and people have to be led into something this fantastic. If you start with this effect, there is really nothing to follow it.

For example, start with your selected metal bending routine. Let them feel and let them touch your normal forks. Let them handle your bent forks. Let them know you have this power. THEN only AFTER after you have established that you have the power to bend metal with your mind, you pull out Shift.

Now everything that they have just witnessed you do, is now happening in THEIR hands where they can feel the bending and tightening of the metal. It takes traditional metal bending FAR beyond the possible.
