Spoon science is a resource for sharing amusing, exciting or unusual science videos, particularly those which utilise everyday objects. The site is still in development, but we are proud to launch with The Amazing Spoon-bending Video, the inspiration for this project.

On Saturday 21st June 2008, over 800 people participated in the world record for spoon bending. At the Flamingo Hotel, Las Vegas, visitors to James Randi's ‘The Amaz!ng Meeting’ performed the classic trick in unison as part of Richard Wiseman's talk, which included a short presentation from master magician Teller. The event, conceived by Richard Wiseman and Tracy King, was filmed for YouTube, along with a video of Dr Mark Miodownik (Materials Library, King's College London) explaining the science behind the spoons. You can watch both videos below.

Come back soon for more amazing science!
