Hey Guys here is my review on Micheal Pauls Razor Blade routine Urban Legend.
This is my first razor blade routine. I was plesently surprised after watching i enjoyed it onto the review.

Effect:
On the table is a red apple. The apple is turned to the audience
exposing several double sided razor blades. The performer removes
one and places it onto his outstretched tongue. It is momentarily displayed before slowly being retracted into the performers mouth. The blade is swallowed and his mouth is shown empty. Another razor is taken and repeated.
From his pocket, the performer removes a spindle of dental
floss. He removes about a foot with the intention of flossing
after his unusual snack. After a second thought, he decides instead to roll the mint flavored strand into a ball and eat that as well.
A wince, a gag, and the performer regurgitates a single
razor. With his right hand, the performer pulls the razor from between his
teeth and attached to it is one end of the dental floss. The
razor is allowed to swing by the floss from the p erformer’s
mouth, showing it to be securely tied.
The performer calmly and carefully begins to pull the floss from
his mouth. Attached to the other end of the floss is the second razor blade.
This is held out for everyone to see....black out.
Price:

Performances:
There are 2 performances of UL
One is performed on stage i believe for no-one
The second one is performed for a live audience
Both routines include the music and full script it lets you get the feel of how this should be performed.
Whats Included
The Script
The Performance
The Teaching
Quality
The Quality is great Brian did a great job editing this its very clear and easy to learn from.
Teaching
Micheal did a great job at teaching this effect, he goes through every nuance of the effect. There are absolutley no switches which i was happy about. the order of teaching is
Introduction
The Set Up
The Performance
Conclusion
There is a minor set-up and your could do it in under 5 minutes.
They give you a piece of music for performance he spends alot of time and goes in depth of how to do this goes over the danger issues if you dont be and idiot you wont get hurt simple as that.
Comparison To The PDF
The Pdf and the Dvd go into great detail on how to perform the effect.
There are some sleight differences between the 2.
They both include the script which is great i think there is a minor variation on the script but it doesnt really make that much of a difference.
The dvd he explains deeper why he uses dental floss instead of the classic thread i think its great.
They are the only differences i can think of for now
Overall
This trick can be performed from close up to stage its perfect for any environment. It is not angle sensitive.
So overall i really enjoy the effect and i cant wait to try it out i really recommend it
Thanks for reading my review
