Maybe this is being posted in the wrong forum, if that is the case then I apologise.

All I am asking for is some confirmation that I won't get a pin stuck in my hand when I perform this trick. Who has tried it, and sort of reactions have you got?

One more thing, it's on page 135 AOA 1

I have, and I do it all the time to freak people out. Have you tried it? If not, the first time is nerve racking, but after that IT'S SIMPLE. Another thing, it does not hurt any IF you do it right. If you don't, My friend and I have put little holes in our hand. To do it right..........DON'T SLOW DOWN! That is the key, go as hard as you can. You won't even feel it, but if you do then you did something wrong. If you lift your hand up and see a little blood coming out, no worries just clean it and wait a little cause it hurts like a pinched nerve. If you want extra advice PM me or say it on here.

P.S The pointed end goes DOWN

Hey man, thanks for your help, I tried it and it's actually really easy. I guess I was being a wuss, lol.
