thread through eye...

Postby Beardy » Jun 21st, '06, 10:54



I'm just wondering if anybody knows where, or if it is even possible, to purchase the instructions on a version of the "swallow thread and pull out of eye" effect. I saw one on Wayne Houchin's site and am hoping he may release that :P, but I am unsure whether or not it a version is available.

cheers in advance!

Love

Chris

No Mini No! Stick to eating the nice glass... :lol:

I saw a video of a college kid doing this, but I can't remember which site it was on. He pushed it into his ear and pulled it out from under his eyelid. It was pleasantly gross.

As someone who used to do something similar, I strongly advise that you don't add this trick to your routine.

Yeah, don't try it! If any manuscipt is available it's probably gonna be pretty old and out of date and the risk isn't gonna be worth it. I've been reading a book on fire magic recentley and one effect requires that you put a piece of gasoline soaked asbestos in your mouth! Oh sorry, i forgot. Use only non poisonous gasoline! Or, 'the secret is this, just use a drop of hydrochloric acid on your palm' :shock: :? These old swami type books really crack me up. They haven't got a clue. :lol:

I used to do a few tricks with mung beans and I put something similar to this in my mung bean routine.

Misanthropy: I am not blind ... but as you can see from my avatar, I do now have playing cards for eyes.

I am thinking about it. I a doing all the neccesary research and will, if I choose to, be taking the safest method possible.

i would NOT do this, as you are pulling the string out, if you look down you can be permanently blinded.

YES! It is true! I will find you a link or something somewhere, search around on google and there has been a lot of discussion. Thankfully, i don't think it has happened to anybody.
Take a look at the penguin forum:
