It seems to be symmetrical, rather than using disimilar metals in an ordered stack. The smoke bomb was the terrifying one. Although it's certainly workable, there's no way I'd heat a saltpeter and sugar mixture either over an open flame, indoors or without protective kit. |

Down to nothing - before he walks on glass in Evening of Wonders which was on E4 last night and probably repeated quite regularly It's not hard to reduce your radial pulse (as detected at your wrist) by "hunching" your shoulders down. This compresses the brachial artery on to the first rib, temporarily occluding the flow. I can cetainly make my radial pulse disappear completely by this technique. Could he have been doing this?

No, must be some other trick (someone suggested a rubber ball under the armpit) . His "assistant" recruited from the audience ('onest guv) as someone with medical experience taps the pulse rate with a drumstick on the microphone as it slows down and ceases He then goes on to walk on some broken glass -- geoff |

writes geoff wrote: He then goes on to walk on some broken glass A chap I know was talking recently about having been involved in street theatre. Amongst his routines was walking on glass. As he explained, anybody who saw him later trying to pick his way painfully across a pebble beach should have twigged that all was not what it seemed. Yeah - I've done hot coals broken glass, I'm not so sure about -- geoff |
