Shock

One of the tricks I have chosen for the new idea involves shocking the audience, and attempting to get a reaction from them. The trick would involve a sharp object disappearing from underneath the character's hand, as they slam it down into a surface. The shock comes from the fact that the audience expects something to happen, yet the character is unharmed. The idea of someone impaling their own hand is a horrible one, and is not commonly seen on tv, and can be grouped with the very sensitive topic of self harm.


Above is a video of a magician getting the spike trick wrong, and as the audience, it gives you a horrible feeling.
