What's up all...
Does anyone know where I can learn a good Russian Roulette routine? My only criteria for this is that I want it to only use 1 gun, (There are methods which entail using multiple guns and only one of them being loaded.)be surefire, and above all that I don't die. However, if I do die from this trick you fortunately won't be able to hear me complain because I'll already be dead. Thanks all you crazy mindreaders. Sincerely, Peter

I don't know of any one gun methods in print.
I would say the best thing to do would be to come up with your own method. Based on your criteria it would not be too difficult at all. Best, Kennedy

Kennedy's advice is perhaps the best. I will add one more bit; be very careful when experimenting and never, NEVER point the weapon at yourself until your method is (pardon the term) sure-fire.

Hi Peter,
There are ways to attract women and this isn't one of them. I go one better than Samuel and gratuitously suggest that you should NEVER point a weapon at yourself period. A friend of mine recently severed his hand by performing a fail-safe blade effect. Just my humble opinion. Renaldi |

- And when you find your method, get Becker's DVD.
It is not an indepth study and discussion on the topic, and I know that some, among others Samuel, have their thoughts on the new Becker videos. However, what's very useful with Larry Beckers video, is -The presentation and pattern This gentleman and elegantiére of mentalism gives you a lot, and I mean a LOT to learn about the presentation form -The pre show spectactor interview and briefing This is critical important no matter what method you should use, and Larry Becker gives you details on it. When all this is mentioned, please do us all a favour, and forget about Russian Roulette routines and it's like. No methods are surefire, almost no matter how many precautions you take. Sven

Velocity is a Bullet Catch (and a darned good one too!) Not a Russian Roulette effect.

Thanks to the five of you! So far, you are the only ones who have given me leads, so beleive me when I say I am definetely going to look into all the advice you guys have given me. By the way, Sven and MagoStevo, where can I purchase these products?
Thank you once again to you all. I'll p.m. you once I have a working method. -Peter Brent, that was weird! I literally noticed your post a split second after I sent my own. Thanks for that, though. Peace out guys.

Becker's Russian Roulette dvd should be available at any magic shop. Velocity is available through Bob Kohler or Hocus Pocus.
I have to say that I also agree with Sven. Russian Roulette is very dangerous. Use the resources that are available if you insist on doing it. If you insist on coming up with your own version, research the effect. Read AND watch everything that is available before you do anything else. I came up with my own version of the stigmata effect. It is a fairly safe version, but I still break out in a sweat when I perform it. I know everything that went into this routine, I researched the effect to the best of my ability and as far as my finances would allow, and I was an integral part of the creation of the method I am using. All of this and I still break out in a sweat. Please, do not perform this effect with real guns. Use a dart gun or something somewhat safer. If you should decide to use a firearm though, know EVERY SINGLE PART of the routine and WHAT CAN GO WRONG WITH EACH PART!!! This is not something you should approach lightly, lest you end up with a very pretty headstone a little early.

How about roulette effects with knives? sounds scarier and more realistic - at least here in Britain where guns are not a common household item.

Take a look at the "Chicago Roulette" video : http://www.doctorzodiac.com/mentalism_video.htm
You could do something similar only perhaps slowed down a little. And Scott, I'm available for commission! |

Shotguns are fairly common in Britain at least where I live. Maybe you could devise an effect using one of those ?

Dear Peter,
I cant recommend you enough Bob Cassidy's Wadcutter Catch. Included in the manuscript, is also his Roussian Roulette effect. It is one of the best R.R. effects I have ever seen. Also, Borodin has another R.R. in "Sheherazade". Best, Alfredo

I concur with Kennedy here, come up with a method that suits you, your style and how you're going to perform it. That's what I did, and it shows when performing it if you know your routine inside out and designed it to suit you.
It's a lot easier than you'd think! |

Perhaps you find something else instead of a gun.

Hi,
I higly recommend Staple Gun Routine by Marc Spelmann. I had a very sucessful 2 hour theater mental show last Thursday and before I ended with my Bank night effect I performed Staple Gun routine. I also ever didn't like to use a gun or a knife. The Staple gun routine you can make up quite cheap since the staple guns you can buy at every DIY Superstore for e few Dollars (Euros). I really loved to perform the routine and you can also build up very nice drama. Shortly I will have some clips from my show on my website including the staple gun routine. Fur further infos just drop PM or mail. Regards, Thomas Just wanted to add that you can find this routine on Marcs DVD Vol.1 Thomas |
