I just got the reference. Bending spoons, doing the impossible, like in the matrix. At least the name makes sense now.

  Isn't spoon-bending a "hoaxy" magic trick? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_bending https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_bending

    Yeah, maybe to young people that means "doing the impossible" but to me it means "tricking people into thinking you're doing something impossible" or "scam" for short.

      Even in the modern usage the principle is to recognize that it's all an illusion. No spoons are ever actually bent in The Matrix.

    It's also a heroin usage trope.
