Effect: Picture this: you whip out a massive, menacing dagger that would make even a seasoned pirate think twice. With a casual flick, you bang it against your left hand like you’re chopping up a cucumber. Then, in a twist that’ll make your audience’s jaws drop, the blade appears to slice right through your hand, and voilà! Blood starts oozing from your arm (because, why not?). It’s a brilliantly disturbing illusion that leaves spectators both shocked and slightly questioning your sanity. (Don't worry, they’ll still clap.)
(Blood not included, but we’re sure you can manage.)
