Hi guys!! It's been awhile since i last visited this forum. Been so busy lately. I see lotsa changes though.. woo hoo..

There's something i need you guys to help me at. Anyone saw the "eating razor blades" section by Geek Magic? I think Criss Angel perfomed this too if i am not wrong.. I was just wondering where to purchase those razor blades? It's said in Geek Magic to get double-edged ones. I tried a couple of hardware stores but they don't sell it. Anyone knows where to purchase these blades? I need them urgently. :( PLEASE enlighten me!!

Eating razor blades are really dangerous, you should know. And also you will need to specially treat (can't say how. It's exposure.) the razors or you will get a laxative effect if you just buy some and eat. I would suggest glass bulbs as better options because they are more readily available. Added to the fact that eating razors will get you the SAME reactions as eating glass bulbs.

Just a suggestion. Since you can't really find those blades you were talking about.

try some big stationay shops like art friend

thanks for your opinion. yes i do know how to treat them. =) thanks anw.

where is art friend located at?

Its at Bras Basah, 3rd level (I think). Take the escalator up and you'll see it.

Is it just me?

But I never did find eating razor blades or glass to be magical? :huh: Not to mention the potential health hazards it will cause.

Unless you are refering to the effect where u thread the razors after having swallowed them, then its a different effect altogther. (Sorry, cant remember the name of this effect)

Cheers!

it seems to be more of a stunt rather than magic. but still, its all about entertainment when you view it this way... anyway i think swallowing something bigger than your stomach is more magical. like a long balloon or something.

just my thoughts... and.. (i would never swallow a razor blade...) :g:

Andy and zib, you don't actually "swallow" the blades. there's a method for that guys =) And yes. I am actually referring to the razor blades being thread out after being swallowed.

Thanks Magicdow. Will check that out. Anyone else knows where to get razor bladess? :(

Oh you are doing the one which does not involve real swallowing? I see..

Because I do have methods of really chewing and swallowing razors and glass. If you are looking for the metal razors that breaks when bent, try asing your favorite saloon.. I think they have.

Yes it is not really magic to you but I do it occasionally to scare the heck out of hecklers (pun intended). Other stunts like push a nail up the nose (as seen in one of Derren Brown's TV show), drink acid, eat fire, are considered as "yoga magic" or "body magic". The ancient method street performers use to draw in a crowd.

If you are interested in the real methods of such body magic, or stunts (whatever you want to call it), a great read would be Swami and Mantra by Sam Dalal. Available from your favorite SMC dealers.

PS. This book can't be sold to anyone below 21 for any reason.

i think art friend have a branch at takashimaya but not sure where.. you might wanna find out ;)

Ok. I will check that out. Cause it's really tough to find these razor blades.

haha be sure to get more when you fund it... oh ya have you tried spotlight maybe they have.

:off: talking about stunts, you can apparently swallow a coin (signed) and make it shoot out from your nose when you snort. Looks good.

Anyway, razor blades aren't my type. :) too dangerous.

If you're looking for Dave Powell's Razer Blade Illusion set, I'm selling it and giving away free stuff... It makes it look darn real, the whole act of swallowing the blades (examinable) but it's safe for the magi.

Feel free to check out my magic lelong thread!

Cheers,

Huh? what name of the trick is that? sounds cool? lol

LOL... cool??? :lol: Aww man, it sounds GROSS!!!

eating razor blades are not dangerous at all unless you are dumb enough to really swollow it

Yep, totally... it just looks dangerous ;)

totally agree with ren. =)

I saw an old movie starring Samo Hung and he did a great effect of eating glass of a broken glass mug.....

not really eating but to the spectators, it looked like he was eating glass..

very nice effect...

coming back to the topic, ive seen mama shops selling razor blades, if im not wrong its the same one as you have discribed, both sides are sharp.

LOL. mama shops ah? serious? you know which place in particular? my house here don't sell RAZOR blades.. they sell SHAVING blades. :ph43r:

if i can remember clearly yeh, ill keep a look out, if i see it again ill tell you.

Ok thanks

Alrighty, I finally found the razor blades i long been looking for after searching mama shops around my place. thanks guys! :)

Hey... remember to prep them properly first before you use them ok!!! :unsure: Don't want a freak accident to occur yeah...

Haha. Yeahh.. I been doing this routine cause i simply just love it. But preparation takes a bit of time :blink:

I really can't bear to see such acts.. Ouch ouch ouch.. Just like when David Blaine pushed that diamond out of his eye.. :wacko: Ouch~

=) there really isn't any pain if you know how the trick works i guess. :lol:

It's not the pain of the performer.. What i mean is the pain when i get when i see such performances.. Ouch~

Seow ar! go art friend sure no razor blade one la. GO to those mama store or those 'cha pa lang' pasir malam or abc shops($2 shop) So many places... cost less than $2

hhmmmm although this a long ago thread but i tot there is a trick set on razor blades swallowing and comes out in a chain with strings attached?!

Geek Magic DVD?

Those are very expensive. You can make normal blades safe on your own.

Here's an interesting story.. i think. I've recently chit-chatted to some old timer who used to perform in pubs and eatin razor blades was part of his act. Then, his audience includes gangsters and loan sharks. So they would grab him and buy their own blades and put it in his mouth by themselves.... and he would of course swallow them. :wacko:

If you're gonna do this bit of illusion and wanna sell it as the real thing... just take note where you're performing 'aight!
