Rick, I just thought I'd add on that I built a brick of balsa wood and painted it black as you suggested. Very nice method to illustrate the potential dangers of the Makibishi. Great tip.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

As the photos above show the scorpion is not reflective of the design of known caltreps or makabishi. It looks more like the ball from a mace and chain than a caltrep or Makabishi.

It would be interesting to actually make one that looks like the real thing.

Guys that have it apparently have never been questioned about the "look" and its been out 3 years. We have no plans to change it, but if you think you can achieve the same effect with a different design I'd be happy to try to make one for you. What you can't see by the pictures is it's not a ball shape, it is flared out at the bottom and stands, it will not roll. Thanks! |

I posted a picture of the Scorpion on this page last year and I have had no one challenge the authenticity of the Scorpion, as it does ressemble some of the naturally occuring spike covered seed pods that have been used a Caltrops in various parts of the world in history.

I love the current design, it looks like a very efficient poison delivery system.

I just ordered this - just curious please how to utilize this in a Russian Roulette style routine? Mount the Scorpion on a wood base with other bases of similar weight?
Yes/no? Any advice would be appreciated. Gracias!

I recently got this effect, it is fantastic.
I recommend using Corinda's muscle reading to perform. Downside is that once in a while you miss and nail the scorpion with your palm. Good thing is that with the scorpion, although this leaves small scars on your palm, it does not penetrate the muscle like the knife smash and stabs, therefore, you can still do the coin roll. Also, when you show the scars on your palm to your specs, they get a little freaked out, because they know you are nuts, and might miss again. Builds great tension. |

I disclose that I am deathly allergic to Peanuts...
So, I roll the bugger in concentrated peanut (actually vegetable) oil w/rubber gloves. I then give a spec. my loaded Adrenalin pen Antidote while eplaining Pulp-Fiction style instructions Provides nice tension..,. |

At ECSS Rich Nakata and Mike Henry actually did a classic Carnie signal routine ..without ring and using tall cups...
No muscle reading...just folk that know each other well enough. Old magic often has the power to impress the most... |

Children especially adore this effect and the Japanese Warlord/ninja back story.
A beautiful prop with ample routines to start with, this effect also KILLS with old folk ! I have worked this in Alzheimer's Units and the reactions are always wondrous and happy ! Risk is both simple and primal One for the ages.. Cheers to the folk at Outlaw |
