What is Stain/Shiv? It’s my latest DVD featuring two disturbing effects…
 

Shiv This has been a featured part of my lecture and a favorite part of my stage routine. It’s a deadly Russian Roulette style effect you perform with an audience member. A different version of this appeared in my DVD Maynia. This is a new version with important touches and handling.

A sharpened pencil is placed into one of four envelopes and then mixed up. A spectator is given a completely free choice. One-by-one, three envelopes are smashed into the heart, stomach and other vital areas of either you or the spectator – to no harm. The last envelope is ripped open to reveal the sharpened pencil. 

This effect works great on stage and is also a twisted party effect. Set-up is a very easy and it can even be performed impromptu. It’s a very dramatic routine that fits into a #10 envelope. I take it with me everywhere.

Stain I came up with this effect when I wanted a really creepy way to do a revelation of thought of word or image. This effect was inspired by watching Japanese horror films. I wanted to create visual moment when a prediction was revealed as if by supernatural forces.

Your prediction is a bag containing a dark colored liquid (blood?). A spectator makes a choice of a word or a famous person to think about. A piece of paper is dropped into the bag and it’s given a shake. The liquid drips away revealing the thought of image or word. You can then give the bag and revelation away as a dark memento.

It’s a very easy to perform effect and works on stage or up close. Including a several fool-proof practical forces.

Stain/Shiv is a 65 minute DVD describing both effects in detail.
