A reason i took away the star was because of the fact that you pay around ten dollars for a DVD. Since it does not provide the hook and string i would rather it be a download and possibly nock off 2-3 dollars. I would actually prefer it to be in a DVD but come with the hook and string.

The trick itself is great and it really looks like the hook is going through your skin!

You do not NEED to use a hook

I kick myself for thinking it was going to be something new. It is the same old method of decades ago with the needle in the arm.

The reactions you get from this are beyond incredible. The hesitation that people have and the look of fear in their eyes alone make the price well worth it. I never understood taking a Star off based on what you get for the price you pay, because you know what you its costs before your pay for it and what else did you expect to get? If you got some high tech gimmick, that could fail, would you feel better spending $100?

There is less than a .001% chance you could get hurt as long as you are diligent in your set up, which is next to nothing. Honestly, I think the worst that could happen might be a slight nick on your gums.

If you want to shock your friends, clients, and whomever, spend the $100 and buy it. Just realize up front, you will receive an actual fish hook and thread, which is inside of a nice tin container that is a "Survival Kit". Plus a link to watch the video. There is no gimmick and no gimmick to make. So when you buy it, no knocking off a star for what you get as you 100% know now.

Once you know how the effect works, you will think of other ways to use this principle.

Cheers!

Andrew has come up with another winner. It's fairly easy to do, and you end clean. Some may disagree with the 5 because he's modified the Needle Through Arm illusion, but you've got to give him credit for his creativity and ingenuity.
