I have had two people ask me after they watched my Music video Razor Blade routine.
why is there no blood ? what are your thoughts ? I responded saying that when you cut your mouth, do you bleed everywhere.. You can check out this awsome effect here. The show is called SLEIGHT, the Razor routine is in episode 7 http://www.lumacast.com/phpBB2/sleight.php or http://www.podfeed.net/podcast/Lumacast+Sleight/7164 any and all feedback welcome..... |

Head and mouth wounds always bleed like crazy.
I cut my lip about a month ago, it took an hour for it stop. It was a tasty hour though !

The ability to deal with the blades involves the ability to control bleeding. You can control your pulse, and you can control bleeding.

I usually perform it without the blood, mostly due to my audience. But I do a lot of performances with metal and industrial bands and I would get booed off the stage if I didn't have blood coming from my mouth with that effect. It can be equally dramatic both ways depending out presentation. When I perform it bloodless, it's a demonstration of high skill in avoiding injury. When I perform it at freakshows, it's all about being crazy enough to put razor blades in your mouth knowing you are going to hurt yourself.

A bloody white hankerchief is all you need, no muss, no fuss. Good acting and you will be remembered.
PS: Also great way to end clean. I mean how many freaks will they remember who swallowed some nonswitched out razor blades and regugitated them back up. If you really want to be real, stick your finger down your throat for the extraction so real vomit will come out with the blade. Yeah its gross but sometimes it will fit with the environment you are in. Is it worth it and does it fit your character is what you need to ask. Side show magic is a sacrifice. Disclaimer: In now way do I endorse performing this illusion.

It depends on audience AND your character.
blood usually tells the layperson that you just made a little mistake. if you normally play the cool cat who never makes a mistake, then blood is out of character. otherwise, blood has more shock value, more drama, eye candy, etc. you could set things up to seem like you're not trying to display skill, you're mutalating yourself for someones viewing pleasure. mOzerian, I liked your version just fine. if you add blood you should just add some explaination beforehand. |

I like your idea of the linking razor blades! Nothing to tangle.
PS: I am still looking at methods for a load (only for middle of show presentation). A bloody hankerchief may be the way to go. I can either use fake blood or wait until my next nose bleed for the extra.

Sorry bout that. that's nothing to something I read about one Café member swallowing a razor blade. He had to dig it out with his entire hand. During a stage show at that.

Maybe something in between. What about cutting your palm to show the razorblades are real?
Method: This is an old theatre prop preparation. Originally it was done with a knife. Take a dull razorblade and fasten some silver adhesive foil to the backside, but leave a pocket filled with rouge make up colour. When pulling the "blade" over your skin you will see a red line. A thumbtip with a sponge inside will provide the necessary blood. And now your magical power can heal that wound immediately! And maybe that explains why you do not bleed out of your mouth... Of course you should not cut your palm immediately. First cut through a newspaper page with obituarys... |

I would go with just enough blood to make it look real.
Gobs of blood make it fake - just enough makes it believable. |

There is a book on the razors out called helter shelter. It covers use of blood and why. Also has a linking razors effect in it. I think there is a DVD coming out as well.

To me, blood is an important element while performing with blades. It is dramatic and theatrical; plus it acts as a deterant for any one thinking of attempting it.Lastly while cleaning or stopping the bleeding there is ample cover for unique additions. at least that is my take on the subject

Just to clarify, were they asking because they thought blood should be a part of the effect, or because they were simply amazed ( in a magical sense ) that there was no blood?
