Spoons are bent using focused mind-power.
The tricks described are simply conjuring, easily duplicated by any reasonably skilled magician. Spoons are bent, not by mind power, but by simple trickery. The noted magician and skeptic James Randi has often caught these charlatans cheating, which is why the magician turned psychic Uri Geller will not perform when Randi is in the room. Pulos, unfortunately, is a good example of what Randi means when he says highly educated scientists are the easiest people of all to fool. They just cannot believe that one good explanation for unexplained phenomena is cheating.
