Pain Game

THE BLURB:
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

THE PAIN GAME is THE absolute 100% safe way to perform a
Russian Roulette routine. Forget the horror stories and
videos of people stabbing themselves on nails, knives, and
other sharp objects. When performing THE PAIN GAME you will
never run the risk of every doing the same thing. Why?
Because the method and procedure are totally 100% safe.

This is what happens: A six inch nail confirmed as being
solid and indeed sharp. The nail is pushed through a hole in
a block of wood so it stands upright. This is placed into a
paper bag which is then closed and sealed. Three more
identical bags are introduced. The bags are mixed up so
nobody knows where the nail is hidden. An audience member
selects a bag and you slam your hand down on it. This is
repeated with a second and a third bag. The final bag is
opened and the nail is revealed. Your hand lives to fight
another day!

THE PAIN GAME raises the bar for the classic 'Nail Roulette'
effect to a whole new level. Thanks to the precision-made
gimmick there is no safer Nail Roulette on the market today.
While other versions have the unlikely yet ever-present
danger of injuring either yourself or someone else, THE PAIN
GAME, is categorically 100% safe yet the risks appears to be
100% real.

For those who want the effect without the worry there is
only one choice...THE PAIN GAME

MY COMMENTS:
I wouldn't think that I'd be so excited about an expensive
version of the popular smash and stab plot, but that's how I
feel. There are no electronics, no consumable parts, and no
extra gimmicks, just the blocks, nails, and bags. It's
incredibly easy to use and it is indeed 100% safe, providing
that you set it up correctly (which is in itself almost as
easy as simply placing the block in a bag). Granted, there
is that possibility that someone will not set this up
correctly, and nails by themselves could be considered
dangerous, so let's call it 98% safe, but 100% safe in
method.

You get a 40-minute instructional DVD which covers every
detail of the handling, the nails (which come in a separate
cloth pouch), and the four blocks. All of these come in a
very elegant box which can fit in your travel case easily.
You also get a supply of white paper bags. THE PAIN GAME may
cost more than all the other methods out there, but it is
certainly as effective and much safer, which, to me, makes
this worth the investment to the working performer. (Just
ask all those who's painful videos of mistakes are up on
YouTube.)

By the way, I'd like to note that my friend, Sam Catoe
(author of Illusions of Influence), actually used a very
similar principle for his nail effect that he performed at
Mindvention some years back. Unfortunately, he never
marketed it, nor published it.
