What's the ratio of performer to volunteer blood spilled so far?

I know a performer in the uk called Owen Lean who did this trick with his forehead and got it wrong. One trip to the hosptal and I don't think he'll be doing that again!

Those who compare escapes of the greats with this are way out of line. Escapes are totally different then a watch me hurt myself, ha, ha fooled you I am OK.

I was in Fantasma Magic Shop in NYC last summer and saw Magick perform this amazing trick, never thinking that a guy that clever would hurt himself doing it some day. Just comes to show you that Murphy's Law is alive and well. If you're reading this, Magick, hope you're feeling better and I'll see you in early July when I visit NYC for my summer magic adventure.

Folks, on another thread there was a discussion about the frequency of your performances versus busted tricks. Perform enough and we know the screw up fairy is gong to visit us.
As I have said before and will re-iterate, my coach refuses to even discuss me considering the routine. When one of the inevitable screw ups happen as they do to all of us who perform lots, the stakes are to high. For those wishing to have a "danger" routine I cannot strees enough the impact of the Higleys "Traps a Mental" monte routine using abbot daring spring traps. Mess it up and you get a slightly uncomfortable pinch. Maimed is not an option. I guess I read these threads to remind myself of why I need to keep listening to my coach...

I have done this many many times again with strong audience reaction. Its good stuff but not for everyone. I have no idea how this guy hurt himself or what lead to it I am truly sorry fo rhis injury and am glad to hear hes doing well.

Has anyone here seen the version of this trick where the performer RUNS down a staircase full of cups and the one he does not step on has the spike? Now THAT is a great trick. The element of fear and danger is almost palpable!

Maybe I am getting old but I just do not see how this effect can be worth the risk. seems because of Blain and C.A magic is turning more into here watch this stunt. Watch me sit is this clear box in 110 degree weather for two days I'm a magican and this is the best thing I can do! Watch me try to not impale My hand (or yours) on this spike. Watch me stick this needle into My eye watch me see what other stupid thing I can do.
Sorry for the above but it seems that quite a few of the younger magicians think that that is what magic is stunts, such as staying in a box over a river for days etc.. It's not never has been and never will be. Yes I know there is a place for this type of magic and there are some members of the Café that do it very well. Todd Robbins is one but watch what he does it's not the crud some are pawning off as magic. |

Just for the record, how many people have been hurt or died performing a particular stunt?
I know someone said that 12 have died doing the bullet catch. How many have died doing the buried alive stunt? How many other illusions have gone horribly wrong?
Magic! The quicker picker-upper!

Magik is a mad-man!
First he stabs himself and Now... check out the Ad on the back wrap of Genii... He is in the ad with someone holding a KNIFE to his chest. From the folks who brought you S&S...now you can do it with someone PLUNGING A KNIFE INTO YOUR CHEST! If at first you don't succeed... Love the Dude! |

We had this discussion at one of our magic clubs. Supposily there are several videos on You-Tube on this, one of which the magician used the volunteers hand and spiked it. Imagine all those who are embarassed to tell anyone of their mishap!
Now there is one on the market that uses bottles and is absolutly safe but it has the same audience effect without any real danger!
