Huh? Blades go in mouth, blades come out, nothing happens?
Or are you talking about eating them? I know several folks who do that. Their teeth have been destroyed, over the years.

Hi Harley,
Well a bit more drama then that. WHat I was thinking is swallowing them (showing mouth empty) and instead of what some may seem as highly impossible (threaded blades) throwing them up or during strolling, just strolling away. Perhaps in a bloody hankerchief etc. Of course, the same razors that go in the mouth are demonstrated sharp by cutting paper etc beforehand. Don't get me wrong, the threaded blades are a great illusion but so many layman have seen it by now. Just looking for something different, quick and dirty. Eating is also a great alternative.

Yes, the show is always more important than the trick.
I'm debuting fish-hooks in this sense, this week. But the hooks and line are only part of the routine. I can hardly wait to see the audience squirm, when I chomp down on the fish, using the microphone to capture the sound effects, and I just stand there so innocently.

I do a version without string.
you hear me crunching on the blade, I pull them out, and their linked like linking rings. I've never done the string version and linking version for the same audiance, so I don't know which people prefer most. when I use string people mention Jim Rose a lot. is it me, or is the razor trick really popular in the Café lately? Harley, the fish hook idea is good. mind if I steal your idea? |

Yes, I'd mind. Hooks have been one of my themes (and much copied, with virtually nobody asking permission), for years.
You have a beautiful version of the blades. Use that.

Didn't hurt to ask.
sorry to hear people take your work. I really don't know what its like to have other people copy my ideas, I'm still kinda a minor league performer. yeah, I like my razor act. if anyone has a different idea what to do with razors, let us know. |

I may have to get the DVD I heard about, Razor Blade Magic. I hear it has different ideas in it.

Just looked that dvd up.
it seems like coin routines using dull razors. I've experimented with that idea a little. the trouble I found is that you must refrain from touching the edges while the blade is in view or the slowest layperson will know they aren't sharp. I'm sure if you put the work into it you can come up with some great ideas yourself. |

Thanks Scaress. Think I'll pass on it, I perform mostly mentalism and shock magic.
Just getting use to razors. Had a few mishaps already but the show must go on. I think the bleeding today was just opening the wound from yesterday. Already got some great reactions from nonpaid demos. Hope to get a tetanus shot within the next few days to be safe. Between this and my voodoo doll, I am long overdue. Candini

I discovered the best is the string but for really impromptu, a mere show the safety razor, extract the blade, cut the paper, then swallow the blade and here is the key. You need to regurgitate the blade by sticking your finger down your throat. If you actually gag (finger touches back) the more actual the presentation it is to specky. COugh up the blade and show it. DId this in restroom as I was washing the blade for reset.

Since this (razor blade on a) thread has been revitalized, I thought I'd bring up (get it?) something about presentation of this trick that has always bothered me.
Please understand that I am not trying to insult anyone else's work, but in my opinion, the "swallowed the blades; swallowed the thread; did the work in my stomach, and brought it all back up" presentation stinks. I'd rather just tell the audience, "Hey! I think you are all witless dolts who'll believe any piece of ridiculous claptrap I shovel out." I like to think I'm not over-estimating the intelligence of the average audience when I assume that they will realize that the intricate process of threading razors (needles, scalpel blades, whatever) with my abdominal muscles is beyond absurd. Saying I'm doing it with my tongue strains credulity enough, but at least there's some legitimate precedent for it. I'm not trying to convince anyone to believe as I do, or to change the way they do their act, I just felt the need to spout my opinion in a public forum.

Update on Razorbalde version
Having taken a small portion Of Paul Potassys Finish & Tim Ellis Method I now have a routine used in virtually every corporate show I do that gets amazing reactions & comments after the shows Being able to cut a Jumbo card 2-3 times & put blade straight into your mouth has people in a stunned look & also being able to finish clean with Pauls Method with no envelopes as Tim has described in his brilliant DVD adds so much credibility to the routine, as well as being very safe for the performer cheers |

I think that you all are forgeting about the helter sheleter dvd from bizzaro. This is how I learned it and it has some great ideas and to me is one of the best dvd's on the subject out. check it out.

Just got that in the mail Friday and watched it yesterday.
Bizarro's vid for the razor blades is great. Multiple ways of handling and presentation very clearly explained. If you want to do razorblades, it is well worth it. Gwyd |

Agreed, Biazarro's dvd is the most comprehensive source for the razor blade effect out there.

Chewing razor blades as-is CAN be done, and as Harley notes it KILLS your teeth, way worse than lightbulbs. Although this is true, I have a heat treatment method that makes the steel break like thin mints. The blades still retain their size shape and sharp paper cutting edge, so if you need to proof them they'll work. They are not gaffs, these are REAL razor blades, so if you don't know what you're doing you will fcku yourself up. I can't go into the exact treatment as I have gone through LOTS of trial and error to get it right, so I hope no one minds if I don't just go out and give everything away thank you.
Still crutch bound, but contact me later if anyone wants easy-to-munch razor blades.
