knife+hand

Exactly one year ago today, I saw a video called "The Knife Game" on YouTube. With the teenage mindset I automatically assumed that I could do it better, so I attempted to film myself doing this stunt. I stabbed myself in the finger and required 5 stitches. I haven't tried to repeat it again until today...one year later.


Please...everyone who reads this, don't make the same mistake that I made. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! PLEASE! For my sake along with T11's please don't try this! If you are mature enough not to do it, please enjoy the video!

I will probably credit him if I do it blind-folded, but I got my inspiration before he even put up his video, so I should probably credit that video, but that video has no warning at the beginning of it...so I didn't feel comfortable posting the link to it.


And please don't try it.

I too have a photographic memory, that is one of the reasons I started magic. I please don't give advice on how to do this, we don't want others trying to do it.

PS: I have indeed tried a pencil, you always end up crushing the point and making a mess.........

I've been practicing this myself for a few months now. For me it's all about muscle memory, just as I picked up juggling I'm hoping the same thing can apply here. So far it's been pretty good, haven't brought myself up to doing it blind though. I can get pretty fast with a knife, and I never hesitate when I'm doing it with a sharp object because the moment you do, that's when you mess up and end up hurt. =/

I have 3 patterns I follow and whatnot to help, but you need a really steady hand and good grip. I find going from finger to finger is the hardest, for me hopping all over the place is easier. Also the thing that's bad about practicing with a pencil and then moving up to a knife is you don't get a feel for the weight, and the width of the blade messes with your mind.

Use the eraser side.;)

Haha good job. I would never do that! However, you made me want to do this with an object that isn't sharp. I'll do this a bit with a pencil with an eraser. I wouldn't ever do do this with a knife because I don't feel like losing my hand. :)

Photographic memory doesn't allow you to do this automatically. Just because you can perfectly visualize a bulls-eye target doesn't mean you can shoot it in the center with a gun. Your actions with your hands would be muscle memory (knowing the exact distance each time to move the knife).

Just thought that should be cleared up for everyone that thinks they have photographic memory.
