Hi peeps,

Well I recieved Needle Through Arm and Saw the other day and finaly performed them las night in front of a good friend, you know the type of person that will play devils advocate to try and get me to mess up a trick. Anyway I performed both illusions for him under the story of saying I was very depressed due to my recent breakup, so I took some wire/string and said I was going to choke myself and his face was a picture when it went straight through my neck and the skin was pulled tight (you know what I meen if you have seen it performed) Damn it I said, I can't even strangle myself, I will try somthing else, then I got this 12" surgical needle and stuck it straight through my arm he went quite pale for a moment, and allmost threw up when blood spurted from the hole in my arm..... then when I had finished I started laughing and said it was part of my new routine, he said it was an amazing performance and was suitably impressed.

My magic style is allways evolving and getting stronger with every performance. I am thinking about getting some stuff from Black Artifacts.

I got a real buzz out of it I can tell you.

Thanks for reading.

Sounds great! Hey I've been having some trouble with the lubrication on needle through arm. I can't slide it in and out at all when it is 'in'. Any tips?

When I practised it I used vasolean, but when I performed it I dipped my fingers in some cooking oil then rubbed my fingers along the needle, once it was half way through the blood lubricates it allowing it to slide smoothly in and out.

I hope it helps you.

Thanks leighton I'll try it out...
