Here is a link that shows why you should never put a spectator at risk (second one):
I only clicked on it, and then closed it because it looks like the same vid as the first one linked to, which doesn't say anything when it comes to safety and stupidity.
... to believe that things are safe and that nothing could go wrong is naive if you ask me.
I didn't ask you. Though since you bring it up, yes it is naive. I never said that nothing could go wrong; but to completely avoid executing a very simple and effective trick because of safety issues is stupid.
Let's put it another way. I run the safety department for one of the largest plumbing and heating contractors in Central AB, Canada. Safety, Hazard Assessment, Safe work pratices and procedures - these are all a daily thing for me.
So once again I say, there is a right way and a wrong way to do things.
There is a very big difference between a paper cut, and having their mouth sliced up to hell, possibly risking swallowing a razor blade.
Yes, there is for sure. Although, unless you are completely inept - you should never have a problem.
Again, by your logic Magic Mountain inc. should shut down for fear of every one of there very large Coasters killing it's riders.
Too bad you don't seem understand the difference.
Clearly I know the difference, and have demonstrated why without linking to a poorly done youtube video with a very poorly executed effect by a retarted magician.
This isn't rocket science. It's basic deception. To avoid someone getting hurt simply means taking the time to do the proper procedures beforehand, rehearse, practice, know your effect and how it works.
A lot of these effects have built in measure's that prevent someone from getting hurt even if they are suicidal and want to get hurt.
So, go back to your keyboard and come back with a more intelligent response, or go away.
