That thing with the nail in the nose is just a trick, right?

Oh, I get it now. Those nails are made by Higley. That explains EVERYTHING.

Those aren't the Higley nails. They can't be. No one mentioned any fingers attached, or heads, or ears so they can't be his. I do hear that Fakini has a new product out that is very maleable and looks just like a real nail from only 6 inches away. Then again, it could be one of those elusive Scholcraft nails. I hear the work on those things is superb.

Thanks Samuel. And while we are the subject of Blockhead, what is the attraction that British Mentalist have with this stunt? Ian Roland, Marc Spelman and Darren Brown just to name three all do it. I find it curious as Mentalism and Blockhead don't seem like a natural fit.

I don't understand it either really. I think the performance becomes more of a watch the control I have over my body for the mentalist than for another type of performer. I personally would prefer something like a bed of nails. Then again, a few nails in the pocket are easier to transport.

By the way, whenever you guys in the UK keep pointing out these magic/mentalism performances on television, you only make us Americans mad that we only have Criss Angel and what we get on YouTube. Stop it, seriously. Even Canada has Jay Sankey.

I think its cos a lot of british mentalist - britalist? or is that a fan of david britland?
anyway - I think its cos of the whole nodding of the head towards other wierd displayable skills and magical mystic types - a nod towards the fakirs of old, and the gali-gali men...

Todd, Derrens is quite classy in his stage show, he does it to Beethoven's 'Emperor' Piano Concerto.

The nail IS real... It's the head that's fake (attributed to Ian Rowland.)

I have met marc spelmann, and got to say he is a very clever thinker and a real lovely guy. His dvd's are really great too, BUT his best ones are unavailable now.

My inquiry was not meant to slight British mentalists. It is just that blockhead and mentalism is a combination that has been embraced over here in the US. I am very glad that there are performers that have taken the stunt and brought class to it, instead of presenting as a gratuitous gross out display.
I've not met Marc, but have enjoyed his videos and used some of his material. I did meet Ian briefly and enjoyed that experience. That line about the head being fake is a great line. I use it too. It originally comes from Melvin Burkhart. |
