Magic of David Blaine -- Twisting Arm (Mallusionist)

Twisting Arm

Effect

David Blaine puts one hand on the ground and slowly twists it 1080 degrees.

Secret

Don't try this one at home! In 1998 Blaine underwent surgery for a muscular condition and had rubber ligaments installed in his upper arm. They allow him to perform this feat, but also make his arm stretch uncomfortably if he's carrying anything heavy.

If you would like to perform this effect yourself without all the expensive surgery, you can find it at Hank Lee's Magic Factory and Trickshop.com

The information on this site is intended for use only by those with a sincere desire to learn nothing about magic and is for entertainment purposes only (in other words, don't try this stuff, particularly the dangerous parts). The Magicians Assistance Collective (MAC) frowns upon the use of magic in the formation of religions or to attract a cult following.

Magic is not real. Reality is not magic.
