I bought this effect about two years ago when it was sold on Eric‘s website. I went through a lot of changes and spent a lot of extra money upgrading this. I do want to point out some issues with it for one it is not 99.8 percent safe. If we’re talking percentages I would say that it’s about 68% safe. One thing that I would recommend to all of you who use this effect as to get a stainless steel hook. The hook that is provided and various hooks that you would buy for this have lead in them and you can taste it as an aftertaste in your mouth later on. Also plan on cutting your gums with this it will happen. The hook that I replaced I did not bother to file down. I use a stainless steel shark Hook. The string that was provided for my set is different then what is provided today. the new string that is provided makes a huge difference. In a good way. I know a lot of pros who have damaged themselves on this affect in fact if you are friends with any on Facebook and follow them on Instagram they are not shy about posting pictures of the damage that was done. this will take some work to iron out all of the little nuances it took me about a year to get it where I wanted it. If you do decide to perform this effect it is truly a showstopper and it’s something that people talk about for a long time it is definitely one of the best investments I have made in a very long time. But it is not for everybody.

Hm. I think it's very safe. I never had any issues. My gums did bleed once but I think because of that happening it actually enhanced the effect and reactions. But before performing I load them a little longer than typical and test them all to make sure they're in the right place. Definitely not for everybody, I agree.

I would be hesitant with the lead hooks. I'll procure a stainless steel instead. But will definitely performthe effect.

You would literally have to keep the hook in your mouth while sucking on it continously for a lot longer than the few minutes it's in your mouth during the routine to cause lead to leach from the hook that one would consider lead exposure.

Which would be a really amazing feat in itself.
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

In my opinion, this one is the most practical "roulette" effect for close up or parlour.

Could add to the tension with getting the spectator to put on a surgical glove if doing parlour?

I paid $100 for this, and now it’s selling for $25? They could have at least used Vaseline when they screwed me.
