Uniball pen, watercolor and ink in Moleskine sketchbook
Eugene, Oregon has had a very active vaudeville community for many years. Lots of jugglers, fire eaters, magicians and sword swallowers. And then there is the Reverend Chumleigh. He's a bearded long haired original hippie day glo dude that performs the key bend trick. Or is it a trick?
At the show I attended he asked for a volunteer who had any keys in their pocket to step up onto the stage. I knew I wasn't a shill so up I went. He told me to take any key out of my pocket and hold it between my palms. I wisely chose the mailbox key instead of the car key and held it as instructed. He never touched the key and I was not hypnotized. He had the audience chant "Bend, Bend Bend" in unison for about 30 seconds. Lo and behold I had a bent key in my hands!
I'm told energy and physics can explain this.
OK, tell me how he did it
