Roll back your
sleeve and start talking about things like "pain
thresholds," "surgical procedures," "incisions,"
"puncture wounds," and other grisly subjects.
Display a gleaming, 9-inch-long needle, glinting
in the stage light. "This," you say, "is a
replica of a traditional voodoo needle, used for
the old pin-in-doll routine you've probably
heard about. Stick a pin in a doll that looks
like your enemy, and supposedly, you'd hurt them
at the exact spot the pin was inserted."
Setting
the needle back on the table, clean your arm
with a towel, and hold it up for all to see.
Then, picking up the needle, plunge it into the
bare flesh of your forearm! There is no hiding
it - the needle has been thrust through the
flesh, plain and simple.
The cold, hard
steel is run back and forth through the wound,
which begins to bleed. The spectators let out a
collective "Eeeewwww!" Surprisingly, none of
this seems to bother you, as you continue to
patter about "mind over matter."
Indeed, even
though the blood continues to flow down your arm
at a steady rate, you seem unconcerned. Slowly
and deliberately remove the needle from your arm
in full view of the audience. A sterile towel is
used to clean off the blood. Amazingly, your arm
is unharmed. Perhaps, despite the
pseudo-scientific lecture and the amazingly
realistic nature of the demonstration, it was
just another cunning dodge - a trick of the
imagination, perhaps.

Thru Arm Gimmick looks like one of those alcohol
pads from a First Aid Kit, you know, sealed in a
little aluminum pouch. In reality, it's rubber
cement!
Set up right in
front of your audience! There's no need to treat
your skin in advance. Tear open the "alcohol"
swab and dab it on during the routine. Folks
will just think you're prepping your arm for the
needle!
In fact, these look so real you
can even use them on a member of the audience.
