Coin bending

Recommended Posts

Have any of you gotten a penny or quarter to kink? I've been trying this for about a year and yesterday I finally was able to kink a quarter. The problem with this though is it's almost impossible to prove I've done such a thing on video, as the coins are covered almost completely by the hand. I know stanless steel can and hairculese, but I want people to know it's possible no matter how big you are. I'm 145 lb at 5'6". I could add a video too if you want, but I'm new to this site and I think that might have to go to the rest judging section. Thanks, looking forward to hear from you guys.

Robert Nejedley does this at a lighter body weight I believe. Check him out on Instagram.

No need to go through feat judging - go ahead and post a video! Upload to YouTube (unlisted if you’d like) and share the link here. I’d love to see this feat.

I’ve folded a penny in half before but it’s so painful I haven’t done it in years. In fact the last time did any coin bending it was with Larry wheels back when I was stationed in Japan. Dude really surprised me when he kinked one on his first try after I showed him how to do it. That dudes insanely strong.

@Austin Seitter Reviving a dead thread, but Austin what is your Technique to bend pennies? 

When I was bending them with Larry that was using a thigh crush and the penny was wrapped in a few layers of note cards or pages from a magazine. Most recently the pennies I’ve bent have been in crushed between the handles of a gripper. First time I saw it done that way was when Tim Butler posted a video of it on Instagram with a CoC 1.5. It was so cool I had to try it but I did it with a GG3 since that was the only thing I had in that same rgc range. Found out old pennies are WAY tougher than the newer ones and some new ones even have a tendency to just snap.
