This is my take on the classic bending spoon effect, but just between two fingers: the spoon visually melts. You will need to... More > buy something you won't find in magic stores ( Just a few dollars )

The beermat will bend when approaching a pint of beer or a glass of wine but not with a glass of water for instance ! Very versatile method that can be very useful and bring something visual to your existing routines to find cards, water, magnetic fields , heat , light , alcohol , coins , etc...Can be done with business cards,post cards,playing cards,beer mats,etc.... right under the Spectators eyes .
