It depends is the answer 😅
For me when I "first" tried it I got there in 40 minutes. I will say though that I believe I was taught how to do it at a party when I was a kid but that's a much longer story. So I had reason to believe it would work, that belief is an important part. I have a lot of experience in high strangeness let's say 😅
The other two who did it with me tonight were less successful. But even Sean in the video explains he was trying it for weeks before it got consistent for him
I followed this video: https://youtu.be/z9tBK3KcXvg?si=XZ_2zbD1ze37aICf
I meant more how long does it take you specifically to do what you did in the picture, even with you training and being naturally inclined.
Thats another reason I never looked at it much, I dont want to devote a significant chunk of time to something that just wouldnt work for me. I doubt it would. Although I have a friend that seems much more likely to have that gift
Either way, incredibly fascinating. Youre the first person Ive seen that I fully believe about this. You seem like a very genuine person
Thank you sir that's a very nice compliment, I try to be authentic because it helps other people feel safe to be authentic too 🥰
That fork I got done before Sean even officially started the session, maybe 15 minutes? But I had been thinking how I really wanted to splay out the tines of a fork since I scheduled the event and I think that prior visualization was part of that success.
Afterwards I wanted to fold the spoon part of the spoon but could only achieve my loops. But the first session I couldn't do the fork tines so I think I just need to let the visualization intention cook more.
I think everyone can learn how to do these types of things. Some things might be easier than others for different individuals, but increasingly I firmly believe it's a natural human ability that's been conditioned out of us.
I notice theres a lot of physical manipulation in that video, is that just a part of learning? I didnt expect so much physical bending 😂
Things are often not like in Hollywood. I believe some people can do it fully with their minds, indeed I've seen it happen and they let me put my hand on it so I could feel it happen.
I think the first step towards that ability (which I do not have.... Yet!) is using physical manipulation as training wheels. So it's not brute force, it's just light pressure. Luckily I am very naturally weak so I know I'm not brute force strengthing it 🤣
But the metal stops being rigid and starts acting like wet clay and you can just put it into the shape you're imagining.
