definatly my favorate trick right know next to stigmata. it is so amazing. it gets people

imagin this
you walk up to a seamstress, borrow a piece of thread make it go thru your neck and out again. then eat it, pull it from your stomic and swallow it again and pull it from your eye.

thats a little ruiten(sorry bout spelling)
the effect is great by its own. only problem is it has to be and opener. and yes they can touch your neck. i wouldnt recomend it but they can.

i give this effect a 20/10
put this on your wishlist right know!!!

Great I was looking for a routine that could be done for people in the tailoring trade as I get requests from them everyday :shock:

So i take it by buying this you also will learn the needle through arm, screwdriver, paper clip etc (although I can see how this would work with the R_ C_)?

Did it ~10 times around 2 days ago, and I still have a slightly visible mark from the string. I also have some problems getting the string to completely go into my neck, but it's still easily one of my favorite effects.

Not sure that this would help the illusion much, but I guess if you're intending this to look more like gore than fakirism, you could just use diamond coated razor wire instead.

That would certainly give real blood.

Otherwise, it just doesn't need it. And without blood, selling the fact that your flesh is unharmed at the end is much easier, and cleaner.

i would love to have blood, and do not do it 10 times a day. cuz it will stay on your neck and when you do it next time ull have a bunch of little dirt almost all over ur neck. it is the same gimmick as through arm effects but the dvd teaches you alot. back to the blood, i think that it would greatly add to the effectbecause you just rub the blood off and theres nothing there. it adds to the realism of the effect and would also hide the seam(sorry if that close to exposure) so if you have anyway to add blood to the effect please float me a personal message.

i have 1 way but i have not tried it. i was into spfx mackup and purchased this blood gel stuff so if you put a little on the string then then it will leave it on your neck.

definatly pick this up. honestly in my eyes the three best tricks are 1stigmata,2saw,3indecent. id pick all three up. definatly saw though, i think it is as close to impromtu as a gimmicked trick can get.

Not sure if your a masochist or not just think if you like pain give the job to one who enjoys giving it. Tis the season you know. LOL

I think adding blood would give a great reason to clean yourself up, and get rid of the li***d L***x. I also assume your neck has to be very cleanly shaven when using this??

Ordered mine yesterday - looking forward 2 receiving it!! A

The DVD gives general recommendations about shaving but you do have to experiment a little. Once you've cleaned yourself up I'd recommend a good skin/after shave balm or moisturiser to avoid any soreness and rashes.

Clean yourself up after shaving, or after performing the effect?

Also, my skin is a little darker here than most in the UK. Would this be problematic?
