Anyone know where to get a good effect? If it were the needles, I'd like it to be as many needles as possible (same as Houdini did). Or how many razor blades would be a eye getter?

I think you can find out how to make it in one of Andrew's books..Shock magic.

Tim Ellis has a nice version in his lecture notes.

Andrew Mayne's book uses razor blades - much better and more visual IMO.

There's a version in the sphinx as well, but teller's version is the best I've seen.

If you're going to perform for a larger audience, or even a smaller audience, use the blades. Tim taught me his version about 2 years ago and I have to say that the first time I saw him do it, I couldn't help but cringe through the entire thing.
Quick story: The night I learned that from Tim, I went home and began to practice. It was about 2 am. My wife comes walking out of our bedroom, takes one look at me, and says, "Is your life insurance paid up?" I nodded yes. She said, "ok" and went back to bed. No strange looks, very deadpan. I think she's getting a bit too use to the weirdness.... Rick

Nothing like moral support from the Mrs.!
My dad is a paramedic and he HATES it when I do the razor blade trick. Oh well. The things we will suffer for our art.... |

This illusion gives folsk goose bumps. They think we'rereally doing what we seem to be doing ( I guess that applies to all magic;-)

Ok, two things.
Rick to get a reaction out of your wife if she asks about the Life Insurance try telling her no (since yes worked). And anyone know what issue of jinx or Sphinx it is in? Don |
