Spoon Bender is a passive item.

Effects[]

Gives Isaac the ability to shoot homing tears. These tears are colored purple and are able to change their path to pursue enemies.

When using homing tears while fighting Mom the tears sometimes change from the enemy aimed at and circle at the place where Mom will stomp right after.

Interactions[]

Mom's Knife - Will slightly home in on enemies.
Dr. Fetus - Bombs will slightly home in on enemies.

My Reflection - Homing shots stop, then go in any direction to hit an enemy.

Trivia[]

The collectibles name "Spoon Bender" is a reference to the famous psychic Uri Geller, whose trademark move is bending spoons with his will alone. Bending spoons has since become associated with psychic powers in popular culture.
The Psychic Maw monster added in Wrath of the Lamb DLC sports the same eye as Isaac and utilizes the same kind of homing shot.
Spoon Bender may also be a reference to the Matrix, when Neo finds a child that he confronts who has the ability to bend a spoon after he states "There is no spoon".
