Question: How do you do the icarus effect without buying a stupid video, and how do you bend a spoon? 

Answer: The icarus effect looks quite amazing, but is really a stage only trick, unlike the casual street version you see in most clips. This is mainly because it is very angle sensitive. Definitely not worth the video. Anyways, if you go to http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/index.php you will see how to do almost every magic trick you can think of.
