Mad: Yes, Stephanie is correct. The Impalement arts are very much for real. There is a illusion knife throwing method, although I never practiced it myself when I was an illusionist because it is not actually much easier to learn too throw a knife than to build the fake knife throwing contraption.

We are lucky in Minnesota in that we have the best impalers, or should I say, non-impalers (usually), in the world every year at our Ren Fest: The Danger Committee (who’s motto is, “Yes, ‘Danger’ actually IS our middle name”)

MadScientist, the vast majority of knife throwing is quite real.

Greg, looks like it’s time to put mabus’ head in the toilet and flush it a few times again.

I’d just like to point out that people throwing real knives are not the entertainers and perhaps believe too much of what they see. Knife throwing on stage and in carnivals is an illusion – or at least it has been for the past 130 years – perhaps even longer than that.

Hmm, a drive by dumbass(dmabus? same letters) proselytizing post by the genetically and mentally maligned.

Markuze/”Mabus”: Seriously – fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

Your retrofits of Nostradamus crap are incredibly fucking overreeaching and weak – oh yes, sept mois is September when it’s convenient, and July when it’s convenient to others of your ilk. You’re also a cut-and-paste comment spammer of unbelievable proportions.

TURN TO ATHEISM OR REMAIN LAME AND UNLOVED FOREVER.

Greg: Feel free to delete this comment when you delete Dennis’ 🙂

I love that the audience is all women (the men are at work, I assume) including one nun. And when I say “love” I mean “find it strange and almost creepy when I think about it”

Hey, it’s what we did back in the day before there was an internet to keep us occupied.
