I have been performing "A Single Needle" by Wayne Houchin since it came out, but this project has made me decide to go big or go home. I am in the process of writing a corporate show which packs small and plays big. I think the needle swallowing routine fits the bill perfectly. Plus, it's reusable! This means less expense/multiple purchases.

Thank you Dan for giving such a great, comprehensive lesson on needle/razor blade swallowing.

You need a lot of patience to perform this effect, but it's totally worth it. I performed this trick at a show recently and the reactions were amazing, big thank you penguin magic!!!!

Now this is a scary trick but the greatest thing is that you feel safe because the teaching is so top notch it makes you feel comfortable to perform thank you for this dan

I purchased this primarily out of curiosity to see how needle swallowing and razor blade eating is done. Dan Harlan's instruction makes it perfectly clear how to prepare for and perform both of these. This satisfied my curiosity and if I ever decide to perform either (or both) this easily suffices as a good road map.

Finally! An excellent explanation of how to do this properly! I have known this for years watching Penn and Teller, but could never come up with a safe(r) handling.

I haven't bought anything magic wise in 10 years, but I had to know the handling.

IT IS STILL TRULY DANGEROUS! Accidents are possible, but if you follow instructions to a T....they are minimized with practice....but the risk is always there.

I'm sure anyone who performs this aren't happy to have this straight up out there, but I for one....am super stoked to have finally known this <3

Explanations are thorough, as they should be for something like this.

Ein super gemachtes Video und sehr gute Ideen bei der Umsetzung.

Thank you Dan for two strong effects using needles and razor blades. Are we crazy for enjoying this kind of magic? -- Who cares, this is solid emotional stuff that will keep our audience members at the edge of their seats. Very well explained and thought out. I have already started working with the needles.

I was exceptionally pleased and pleasantly surprised with this excellent explanation of the apparent swallowing of needles and razor blades. These safe and practical methods will not only fool the audience, but they just might fool you, as well.

Fantastic! I've been performing the needle trick for 40 years and thought my way was the best but I got this just to see some variations. Well, I'm man enough to say...my way is DEFINETLY not the BEST! from now on I'll be using many of the ideas Dan brought to this classic! Thank you!

Okay, so I have thoughts about this. Theres the good and the bad. The bad? You only get 2.5 tricks. You get a needle swallowing and razor blade swallowing trick. Also, you get a bonus trick that Dan is working on. Its not yet solid, but it is a strong effect. I won't say it here, as it was listed as a bonus on it. That being said, it is more of a way to see how needle swallowing can be incorporated into more routines than simply swallowing needles.
The good: You get 2 solid, fully explained routines. Dan takes everything into account. He walks you through the building, the preparation, and the trick in staggering detail. He leaves no stone unturned, even telling you how long it will take to prepare, and even the brands that he uses. The detail is fantastic, as always. He also adds tips into this video which make it as safe as possible. Overall, I will be instantly adding the needle swallowing into my act, and this may have been the most detail I have heard Dan go into with any trick.
Why only 4 stars? It's a great video with great tips on needle swallowing. However, I wish there would be more applications, and this is a fairly known method for performing this. Other than a few great tips from Dan, nothing groundbreaking (IMHO).
Overall, fantastic video, would recommend with reservations. If the idea of this grosses you out, or if you don't like needles, don't bother buying!
Thank you Dan!
