Can I please get a serious answwe? I found an article that talks about it, but a rope is required. Is there any way to do it without a rope? http://sj.blacksteel.com/posey/

I already know how to escape a straight jacket. I'm trying to spice things up by getting myself INTO one. Usually the performer has someone else put them in the jacket and then escape from it. What I'm trying to do is get myself into the jacket and then got myself out of it. Can anyone help me...

I'm currently working on my straitjacket Escape Act. I'm trying to get my hands on a genuine Posey straitjacket. Oddly enough, there don't seem to be any available on eBay. Does anyone know where I can get one, preferably in a size large.

One of the reasons I'm trying to increase in size, is beacuse ImI Itrying to get my nasal passages wide enough to fit a tube so I can do the Human Crazy Straw. I just hope it doesn't take too long (years) to increase in larger nail sizes.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm practicing with nails for the time being. I want to get very comfortable with that first and gradually increase in size. I hope to move up to a screwdriver and a power drill. Btw, during a performance do you Hammer the screwdriver in or do you just push it in? Do I...

I've been doing the Human blockhead for over two months now, and so far, I've been working with a rather small/average size nail. For anyone who does this stunt, is it possible to gradually increase in nail sizes and kind of expand your nasal cavity over time?

Awhile back I acquired detailed instructions from Matt 'The Tube' Crowley on how to build his pump that he used in his famous Tube Act while he was a performer in the Jim Rose Circus Show. I have zero engineering or machinist skills, so I've decided to pay someone to build it for me. The main...

I learned hiw two swallow swords at Oddity U, two months ago. I'm really concerned about the idea of the blade scraping against my teeth as I pull the sword back up. I'm afraid I'll file down, crack or chip my upper front teeth while doing this. I underwent two years of orthodontic treatment. I...

So far iveI learned and am practicing basic stunts, such as The Human Blockhead, Straight Jacket escaping, Sword Swallowing and Fire Eating/Spitting. Water Spouting and Regurgitation really has my interest. I asked around and fellow sideshow performers have told me that the act is very gaurded...

He actually allows people to call him. I tried calling him, but didn't get an answer, so I left a message. O even tried emailing him, but he never replied.

I recently attended Harley Newman's "Oddity U" and have learned a lot of great things, such as The Human Blockhead, Straight Jacket escaping, Fire Eating and Spitting. I even successfully swallowed a sword. Know I'm trying to expand and try different things, The Human Crazy Straw being one of...

I just watched a couple of videos of Ryan Stock performing his Human Meathead stunt and I was absolutely blown away! The idea of taking a meat hook, putting it in your nasal passage and making it come out of your mouth! It's quite a spectacle! Hopefully you guys have seen it. I've been into...

Thanks for the tip. That advice sounds like it would be more useful for training for Matt "The Tube" Crowley's Tube Act in Jim Rose circus show. Another stunt that I plan to learn.

So after you complete the course, what then? Do you just practice everyday?

I'm very interested in Harley Newman's school, "Oddity U." From what I know so far, it is located in Pennsylvania and Harley teaches two three day classes twice a year. Is there anyone here who has attended the University? or at least knows someone who has attended? I'd like to know some first...

I tried it that way. It just hurt and caused my eyes to water

I've watched Brian Brushwood's video and tried imitating it with a Q tip. It only resulted in a lot of pain and discomfort.

I live in the Bay Area, specifically San Francisco. I have grown quite fascinated with the Human Blockhead stunt and I really want to learn how to perform it. I've watched video tutorials on the it, but people have told me that trying to learn the stunt by myself can be very dangerous and that...
