This weeks winner of the best and greatest is...Da da.......Zafra52! I like the arrangement and the modern art style subject. Simple, neat, effective and clever. Well Done Zafra!
Oh...and I also like coffee.

Well done Zaffs, and Matt, but this picture is doing my head in. I feel dizzy just looking at it, which makes it excellent!

Yes. A spoon bending freak. I went to one of his shows and was dumbfounded by what he appeared to do. I was quite disappointed to later discover that he was just a clever illusionist. Still trying to get my money back.

Another of his tricks: he makes your money disappear, and it reappears in his pockets. :)

Thank you Matt and all for your kind comments. It's a honour.

I remember Uri Geller when first appeared on Spanish TV. He bent spoons and made old watches that had stopped work again. My father tried and two or three watches started to work and worked for a few weeks before stopping forever.

After each show you would see the drug addicts scouring the stage looking for the bent spoons.
