Everyone loves a good magic trick, but the world can be divided into people who want to know how the trick was performed, or those who’d rather be blissfully unaware of the mechanics behind the illusion.
I’m in the former camp (most of the time anyway), so I was more than happy to help out Australian Men’s Fitness with this illustration explaining the art of spoon bending.
The title of this post comes from a wonderful EP by an Australian band called Sidewinder. They formed in my home town of Canberra and recorded two seriously brilliant albums before tragically breaking up in 1999. Their second album Tangerine was a precursor (and in my opinion better album) to Tame Impala‘s psychedelic rock album Innerspeaker, which was voted #19 in Triple J’s Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time. Go figure.
And not that I’m biased or anything, but the guitarist’s brother was my maths teacher in high school (hi Mr Branson!)
