                                | Sorry, turned this (insert word here) off in the first 40 seconds. 
 All I seen was the beginning of an out of focus card trick with appaling sound.

 Could be the "vaseline on the lense" scenario, bu taken to a new excess.

                                | Pre-stressing it - like heating it? 
 It is a good demonstration - he holds the spoon at the bottom upright and appears to make it bend:

 The spoon is already bent when we first see it in Marks hand. Mark simply and very discretely twists the spoon so that with each gesture of his hand we see more of the bend because the spoon is rotating slightly towards us thus revealing the bend.
