hey all, I was wondering what you guys would recommend for geek magic to do on Halloween, such as saw, and some of Wayne Houchin's stuff. so any good suggestions? (I'm looking more for shock magic type tricks)
Christopher, I've not heard of that book before. Could you maybe give a brief review of it?
The Human Blockhead routine is one of the things that unless you know what you are doing you could seriously screw something up. Not to mention that biologically not everyone can perform it anyways. I'd stay away from the real stuff and just play with illusions. They are safer.
To that effect:
Harry Anderson: Needle through Arm
Voodoo Doll
Luna Book Test
Shutter Bug
The Relic
Sanctum
Heirloom Deluxe
Coin through nose- I've never done it but I have heard of it. It's a new effect I think.
Sean Fields: Saw
Houchin's Thread (though I much prefer my Belly Ribbon handling to his eyeball one)
Cookie Cutter by Bizarro
Razor Blade Swallow
Needle Swallow
Gypsie Thread
Glorpie
Ash on Arm
There is a way to fake glass eating by using boiled hard candy instead of glass, you'd just have to look for the method.
