Todd,
When I caught your show last time I noticed that you applied some type of a liquid to the cloth that you use to wipe your swords. I understand the wiping, but I'm unfamiliar with what you were applying to the swords. Are you willing to share this information in a public forum, or is this a closely guarded secret? Some type of a germ killer, perhaps? By the way, thanks for not tipping any of the REAL WORK this week on your best TRICKS. We wouldn't want the recipe for those candy light bulbs or the blueprints for the collapsible nails to get out! |

Thanks for understanding my secrecy, Eric. This stuff ain't real like that psychic stuff.
As for the "liquid", as Johnny Meah says in his act, "I can't tell you what in the bottle, but it does make the later shows just fly by." It's just Listerine. When you are shoving steel down your throat, it's nice if it's clean. |

I was guessing Listerine, thanks for the confirmation (a wise way to kill anything that isn't simply wiped away).

I keep the Listerine in a Knob Creek bourbon bottle. Just to make sure the bottle was clean, I emptied it myself. It took a couple of weeks. You have to suffer for your art.

Yes. I learned that lesson well in emptying wine bottles for the glass walk... Actually, I cheated and sweet talked an Italian restaurant into collecting the really large bottles for me. I enjoy a nice glass of Merlot from time to time, but not at the volume necessary to fill buckets.

Did it take a couple of weeks to empty the bottle, or to put the Listerine in, afterward?
