Who makes the "smash and stab" effect with the Styrofoam cups and 6" long knife?
Thanks, Jim |

I think Wayne Dobson effect manufactured by 5 Of Hearts Productions I may be wrong but give it a try .

This effect creeps me out. I think that most people would not really enjoy it. Putting people on edge would perhaps be more appropriate for a carnival side show. Same with piercing the tongue, etc. Ditto magicians putting things in their mouths. Not exactly classy. OK. Rant over.

I really like the look of the non-threatening version that 5 Of Hearts have with an egg on one of the bases rather than a spike. No one is going to be upset by the idea of a magician failing and breaking an egg, where the possibility of self-impalement doesn't seem to me to work for the sort of audiences I work with, or would work with.
However, if I could think of an audience to suit it, I really like the look of the version that Mayette Magie Moderne in Paris have called 'Le Clou' (The Nail): it appears to offer a substitution allowing all four cups to be smashed. I may be wrong in that - and would love to know whether anyone has used this particular version or similar? |

All it took for me was to see the YouTube video of that magician injuring a spectator to turn me off this trick. The egg version appeals to me much more, although I know a lot of folks use some variation of the danger version.
