Recently I have been practicing this illusion in preparation to start performing it on the streets and close up environments. Whenever I pull the razor blades from my mouth they are often stuck together because of saliva. Does anyone know a way to stop them from sticking together?

Actually they are suppose to stick together... That's kind of how the trick works actually.
Secondly this is a simi dangerous stunt, seeing as you are still putting razors in your mouth. Doing this on the street isn't something I'd recommend for someone unless they know exactly what they are getting themselves into. One clap on the back at the wrong time and you could be in serious trouble.
Just playing devils advocate. Trying to look out for you man.

Thanks for the response William. When pulling the blades out they should come out separately on the string tied into their position. I do not think I have ever seen them come out stuck together.
Thanks for the warning. While the blades that I start the effect out with are sharp the blades that will go into my mouth are dulled. Nonetheless, I will take extra precaution while performing it.

Even the dull blades will cause major damage just in your mouth let alone if you were to partially swallow one or all. I stopped doing this and the needles long ago because of the danger factor and having cuts in my mouth or on my tongue. . . but I stopped doing a lot of the more dangerous stuff with age.
PLEASE. . . don't refer to small tricks as "Illusions". . . I know it's a linguistics thing but when you say "Illusion" and you're talking magic, the majority of old timers think of Grand Illusion -- levitations (not standing on your tippy toes but actual floatings & suspensions), Cutting into poeple into pieces, etc.

I've been performing this for years and the only thing i can think of that stops them sticking is new thread, but even then it isn't guaranteed. It's just something that happens.

Does anyone know where i can learn the razor blade effect? It's something that i have been interested in learning for a while now.
There are many methods to do this. Bizzaro's DVD teaches quite a few different methods and also Tim Ellis has an ebook teaching this effect. You could also look for the "pocket vest version". With a little research you can find many other books, ebooks or DVD's that teaches this.
I do talk about this on my DVD. If you use your teeth and only let one thru at a time you should have no problem. Just pull and let them slide off each other.
