Razor Blade Swallowing

What is your favorite Razor Blade Swallowing routine/method?

Ok..

I think if you are going to start such a topic you should begin by telling us your method Harold!!

I myself have never done this... In fact I tried to find the straight razors and they are getting harder and harder to find!!

Along the same vein I have read up on some methods for "swallowing needles".

I don't have a favorite method, I only know one specific method and am inquiring mainly to see what others are using.

H-

Wow! Something you don't have a interesting point to share on? These are dark days indeed.

Actually you did point out EXACTLY where I probably picked up on the info - Tarbell's course of magic. I am going to give it to you, rather the see my idol come tumbling off the pillar I have placed him. LOL

Thanks again for the info! I look forward to seeing this aspect of your act!

I am just wanting to branch out a little and explore some areas that I haven't really spent a lot of time on.

The smash-and-stab routines I do always have great responses but there is the setup. The reaction to swallowing needles really can't be beat. Razor blades get a nice reaction too. The key is to cut the paper/card with the razor blade and then immediately put the blade on your tongue to swallow it. You want the blade to be in plain sight the whole time so that they see that there has been no switching of the blades.

I am going to make me one of those stones with the blade in it like Steve used in the video I shared.

I'm sorry to let you down, but there is so much that I am still learning. I guess when I stop learning, I'll be dead.

There are many versions of this trick.
Some dangerous, some less...

I liked the Tim Ellis version (from Ellis in Wonderland) which I found relatively safe to use.

There are plenty of source to learn this trick yet so as it isn't the subject I won't list those that I know(since I haven't them or haven't try them).

In the past there was a great and safe method that has been marketed, I don't remember the name.
This method required the use of some gimmicks but the interrest was that it was relativily safe in use and the result was clean.I don't know if I can tell more in my post.

If you've never seen this routine performed by Otto Wessely then give a look:
