haha, I'm waiting until I decide drinking is a good idea 
It's a fun idea. It's just one of those things where you're reading it in a book. no visual proof of it working, just a theory... "You've got to be kidding me"
I may just have to try it one of these days.

I don't want to create a new thread for this, so I'll just post here.
Has anyone tried this yet?
I really want do this, but want to hear if anyone else has done it yet..

Haha, thanks guys..
The only thing holding me back, is that he uses the word 'theory' a lot during the description..
Just wanted to know if it's like the perpetual coin myth..

Showing a demonstration of pain endurance you take a business card and a straight pin and put them on the table. You slam your hand through the pin and have the business card stabbed into your palm. You pull the pin out and give it and the business card to your spectators.
I suppose if you don't want to do it to your hand do it to one of your friends hands...hehe just kidding but seriously...hehe
my main issue is that he doesn't go into too much detail on which kind of pins this theory works with, and I haven't had enough spare time to go testing pins.
I just don't think the potential effect is worth the inherent risks. Especially considering how much magic is done with the hands.
I remember Scarne had a similiar trick.
Of course the effect was much less impressive but he says it works.. so yeah.
The basic effect is you put those... pins with a plastic head on the table with the plastic on top so the point is actually in the table. You then slam your hand onto the top of that and leave unharmed.
