I've performed the 5 razor blades on a string, the single needle on a thread and the thread up my nose and I pull it out of my eye socket, both of those by Wayne Houchin.

I also performed the 10 penny nail on a 2" sq. board covered with one of 5 Styrofoam cups which the spec mixes up while my back is turned. I turn back around and slam my hand down on each one till the last one with the nail is left.

But the killer geek act I did for crowds of up to 500 people at County Fair Sideshows was a 3 pt. act. 1)Clean Through by Dan Hauss. I literally pushed a 10" acupuncture needle into the top of my hand and it exited out my palm. 2)Then I pounded a 12" railroad spike through my shoe and through my foot, complete with blood. Finally, I pulled a gorgeous, young woman's liver out through her abdomen. It was extremely gory and messy. I was known as The Bloody Butcher! I was getting $500 per performance which took a solid hour to complete. Very dramatic but also extremely dangerous.

Nothing can compare to The Bloody Butcher's Freak Show, but I wanted to get back into the business of scaring the Hell out of people so now we have HOOK by Eric Ross. Out of all of them, this is my favorite. Why? Because it's 100% safe (but the crowd doesn't think so) AND 100% fooling with no big props to lug around and no blood to clean up.

If you want a reputation maker and an easy way to gather a huge crowd (better yet when they all tip), this is it. Bar none!! Since you don't have to concentrate on safety issues constantly, you can really sucker punch the crowd with your performance. Even the tough guys in the crowd wince and bite their lip right before they yank on the 2nd to the last string hanging out of your mouth which they believe to the max that it might be connected to that monstrosity of a fish hook.

I've been doing these gigs for over 50 years, and this is the one that gets the biggest reactions like nothing else I've ever done (except for the needle through the hand which you'd be nuts to take that kind of a chance).

I forgot to mention that you WILL get bookings from performing this. Whether you perform it at house parties, bars, nightclubs, country clubs, dungeons, colonoscopies, heart transplants, etc...What are you waiting for?? ADD TO CART NOW!!
