I've been thinking that, why not do a show which have blood included. Of course this show will be for adults only. Starting the show by needle thru arm, then knife thru arm and so on... let's start a list of blood magic!!

Maybe you could go to a Star Trek convention and do the tricks with green or purple blood That would be a nice change.

Great idea, too. Hmm... maybe using French arm chopper with the spritzer to shoot blood everywhere

Remind me to discuss this with you when we meet ok w3irDO? I've had this idea for the longest time... Maybe we can do something about it...

I'd like to do the impaling from the smallest needle thru finger, pencil thru tongue all the way to Keris thru body (ala the Japanese self execution "Harakiri"). Maybe have "white blood" come out ala Mahsuri (a pure maiden).

Whaddaya think?

Great idea! hehehe.. I suppose the audience reaction will be like

An X-Files routine. Aliens strap you down and insert catheters and syphon off your blood. Your complexion changes as you offer pint after pint. Finally, 8 pints later your inert body is reanimated by the infusion of alien blood (blue, green) The blood bags empty their contents into you one by one.

It's already been done in a 1970 film called: "The Wizard of Gore". The actors are unknown. It appears to be a backyard video taped typed film, by a company called Something Weird Video. I rate it less than a half-star. This company does a lot of these type gore films and adult films. I purchased it in a bookstore around Halloween.

You know what's a cool routine. My teacher, Loren Christopher Michaels, does a great snowstorm routine called "Bloodstorm in China".... we know where this is going

Try performing the sword thru neck. Make a lot of fake blood shoot out. Take off the collar and have fake bood linking from the magician's neck. The person who puts the sword in can be a confederate from the audience. The audience will think they put the sword in wrong. The magician can look relaxed after the act.
