Watched a demo the other day out of boredom on penguin magic..it was clips from the Geek magic video...I figured out how to drink "motor oil" just by watching the brief clip...
so I went to the (grocery) store to buy the props...made it..performed it for a girlfriend...she's still flipping out! dont care if its not considered magic by some of the jaded magi on the forum...it got the intended reaction and I'll do it many more times! Anyone interested PM me. babakali Posted: Nov 29, 2004 8:29pm ---------------------------------- Well, thanx for the overwhelming responses on my PM...I will share or trade ideas for another day or so...then I will not take anymore requests...gotta keep some secracy! love and respect..and I'm glad you all enjoy it! babakali Yogi |

Baba,
just wondering how you would feel if you came out with a dvd just to find someone handing out the secrets? Magickman

I'm not giving the secret, per se, its just an idea I came up with while watching the clip...I could be wrong, but its something I think I picked up on....
I understand what youre saying, but I don't know for sure if I'm right, so as far as I'm concerned Im giving my idea away... Posted: Nov 29, 2004 10:16pm ---------------------------------- And to whomever else I upset... 1. I am no longer giving MY idea away... 2. It was just MY idea...it doesn't take a scientist to know theyre not drinking REAL motor oil... So for those who still wish to know...go to the store and figure out what looks like oil...but isn't oil. Boy, am I some kinda rebel? Every thread I post gets the heat! I could have been a real jerk and just posted the idea for all to see heh?! I have great respect for this forum and the sacred art of magic as a whole...so please forgive me for sharing MY thoughts on a great stunt. peace.. babakali |

I'm not taking sides with anyone, but I do agree with babakali. There is no harm in sharing ideas. Just because we have an idea on how a trick/stunt is done and we share OUR idea, that is not really direct exposure. If it is how the trick/stunt is done, then congratulations on a terriffic guess. Now direct blatant exposure is frowned upon, but the general sharing of ideas.... I see no harm in that. I could make an educated guess and say that it is going on in about 94% of all the threads here. Just my 2 cents.

More fun, I've done this a couple of times. You must have a cat or a dog.
When you have friends home, and the cat walks around, pick some canned catfood, open it and call kitty. Show him the catfood and, because the cat maybe reluctant, take a spoon and eat the catfood yourself. You only have to make a fake catfood can. The reactions are VERY strong everytime. |

Kind of like the gross out bit that Jim Krenz does with Pen Thru Anything and his nose, this is great for those high-society events and Presidential dinner shows!
Actually, I love the idea of the cat food and the motor oil gag is NOt one to do for the kiddies - for certain! Still laughing about the visual on these ideas! Lee Darrow, C.H.

That's a great trick that I am going to add to my routine after I eat glass. Something I rarely do however, but I do get bookings in clubs that thrive to see that type of thing. I never knew motor oil tasted so good. pancakes anyone???

I am known for such things (being kinda scary), and believe it or not, the 9 year old girl was dressed like "Carrie" of the movie. They not only loved the glass eating and Heart Stop, but I brought in a bed of nails and tortured myself to the delight of a room of squealing children who were more upset that I was leaving after the show then by the content. Children love this type of thing, and the days of kids magic are far from over, but the breed of children who aren't entertained by a hopping bunny because of the content in videos games, television etc is here. I'll gladly fill the shoes for this genre. Kids like these don't like "kids stuff" because they find it condescending to their inteligence. Kids are smarter then people think, and they know not to do the tricks I do when they go home, just like the way they understand they couldn't read "my mind" during the show. Mysterion |

Instead of "motor oil", you could also try drinking "hemlock"!
Oops, sorry! That said "Geek Magic". I thought it said "Greek Magic". |

For an old nightclub routine, I finished an invulnerability stunt act by apparently swallowing industrial corrosive. If anyone would like my method, PM me (the method can also be used for anything where you wish to convincingly use 'acid' without real risk.

This is a fun one to do. Last year on eBay they had gourmet chocolate for sale that was shaped like dog poop. I don't know if they still have it, but a google search might yeild some results. If you have a dog, just strategically place the "poo" in a nice location. Out in the yard, middle of the floor somewhere, or my personal favorite.... on the wife's pillow. BAD DOGGIE!!! When she or whomever sees the "poo" and calls attention to it, simply walk over to it, sniff it a couple of times then slowly reach down with your bare fingers and pick it up! This one makes 'em squirm, but the best is yet to come. Now very slowly place the "poo" to your lips and take a lucious bite. But don't be rude, offer them some. When they decline, simply finish off the "poo" with a smile on your face. If you can find some of this, I reccomend this one. Have fun with it!

Phil....thats HILARIOUS!!!!
but it might prevent you from getting any lovin' from your gal that nite!!! listen, as a youth, we used to put "BABY RUTH" candy bars in the swimming pool @ school! It totally freaked 'em out....so I guess you could use the same thing to make a semi-believable piece of sh** perhaps microwave it for a second or two...bwoy we're probably peeing off a lot of those jaded magi around here....magic is in the mind of the beholder I say....and MYSTERION....perhaps you could PM me about obtaining info on the art of eating glass....anyone? |

My wife was pretty miffed about this, but once she learned what it was, she laughed and found it funny. I know it's not "magic" but it is fun to pull pranks now and then. And for those who get turned off by this sort of thing, lighten up!! We only live once, so we might as well enjoy it. Not trying to start anything, but c'mon..... you gotta have some fun with these kind of things every now and then. I believe that deep inside of everyone there is a jokester waiting to be born. Just my 2 cents. As for the glass eating, that sounds interesting! Just curious if it makes you sound like wind chimes tinkling in the breeze everytime you fart.

Phil, that gives a whole new meaning to a term about a certain kind of grin! I have GOT to get me some of that stuff! Too funny!
There's a probably apocryphal story about a guy who used to go hunting with a know-it-all friend. So, the day before they went, a new blanket of snow had fallen and he went out and, in a certain, selected, place, dropped a bunch of chocolate covered rainins and chocolate covered peanuts, which, in the snow, looked for all the world like rabbit droppings. He also made some false tracks with a little stick that he had handy, to make it look like legit rabbit tracks. You can imagine the expression on his friend's face (after pontificating on how long and what kind of rabbit had left the "droppings" when the jokester knelt down, picked up one, sniffed it, tasted it, chewed thoughtfully and said, "well, it's a male rabbit. Came through here not 39 minutes ago and has a brown spot on his left ear." The know-it-all gave up hunting. Gotta love this kind of schtick! Lee Darrow, C.H.

Did you know dogs and rabbits can be trained to switch the gaff for the . . ?
You didn't ?????? :rotf: |

OK...here's the poop. Or at least a link so you can see what it looks like. I don't think eBay is still selling it, but you may be able to contact the seller via email through eBay to buy some, or just do a vast internet search. Check it out here. BTW, it looks very REAL. Click here.

If you like this sort of thing, note that pineapple sherbet looks very much like Crisco. All that needs be done is to clean out a can and refill it.
