spoon bender
Mental metal manipulator
A spoon bender is someone who claims to bend metal objects through psychic power rather than physical force—a feat associated with paranormal performers like Uri Geller.
The term often carries skepticism: He's just another spoon bender with a TV deal.
Extended to mean anyone peddling pseudoscience or supernatural claims.
