Spoon Bender#3

Spoon Bender is a passive item.

• Edmund McMillen has stated in his first post-Repentance Isaac Lore Stream[1] that Spoon Bender is directly inspired by the stage magic of illusionist Uri Geller, more specifically the act of 'spoon bending' which was one of Geller's trademark tricks.
• McMillen describes Geller as a 'scam artist', so it can be gathered that this reference was not born out of appreciation.
• Spoon Bender may also be a reference to The Matrix.
• This item is used in Computer Savvy (challenge #16).
• According to a Twitter post[2] from Tyrone Rodriguez, the Brimstone + Spoon Bender synergy was modeled after the Plasma Laser, first introduced in the video game Raiden II.
• Isaac's new appearance with Spoon Bender now bears more resemblance to Psychic Horfs and Psychic Maws.
• It also resembles Isaac's sprite from the original game.
