So the majority of this trick is about the showmanship. My wife doesn’t like this trick as she has a
needle and piercing phobia so I just jumped into preforming this with no practice. It gets people to
squirm, reset is not instant. Just be aware of the people you preform this in front of incase you
come across someone like my wife who is freaked out by the trick. I usually start off with a warning
that it could get messy if I get poked with the barbs and ask if anyone has an issue with needles or
piercings. That actually helps sell the trick because the spectators now know there is a level of,
“danger,” involved.
