It takes a knack, but supposedly isn't that difficult. I've never done it, but I am told it is just something that you have to practice until you find the knack (and probably a black belt in karate wouldn't hurt!). The hank is wrapped in a ball arount the head of he nail to cushion it so as not to hurt your hand. Again, it is probably a case of overcoming your fear and belief in its impossibility. I have a reference to it somewhere, and I'll try to find it for you.

You could also rig the board by partially predrilling a hole, then filling it in with wood putty. How completely unnoticable would that be ? I don't know.
A little bit of stain afterward would probably hide the dirty work, just feel for the spot with the tip of the nail first.

I quote nfox from the street magic section: "Just think about it, and it may start to make cents"
"Dreams are born of imagination, fed upon illusions, and put to death by reality."

I know this discussion is over but Al Mann had this effect called "Hammering a nail in a block of wood with your bare hand" in his booklet called 101 Psychic tests. Seems like a really good booklet to get, but I could never find one. 8(
