Nailed: The Safest Russian Roulette

Here at Alakazam Magic we have seen COUNTLESS versions of the Russian Roulette routine over the last twenty years and all of them have had merit but they have also all had flaws.

With EVERY enquiry we have from magicians and mentalists for such a routine, the same questions crop up time and time again...

Is there any danger of the performer getting injured performing the effect?

What if a spectator accidentally smashes down one of the cups?

Can it be done without the performer having to wear any special gimmicks on his hands?

Essentially the big question really is...

How can one maintain the cleanliness and drama of a spike under cup effect whilst also maintining ONE HUNDRED PERCENT safety at all times?

With past incarnations of the Russian Roulette plot there was always some compromise on one or more of the above points, but now Gerry Frenette has come up with what we believe could be THE FINAL WORD and the ULTIMATE SOLUTION for performing the SPIKE ROULETTE effect with all the suspense and perceived danger of previous versions but with one MAJOR difference...

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT TOTAL SAFETY FOR THE PERFORMER & SPECTATORS AT ALL TIMES!

So here are the basic bare bones of the effect:

A THREE INCH LONG aluminum spike is shown and RAPPED AGAINST THE TABLE to show that it is solid.

While YOUR BACK IS TURNED a spectator hides the spike under ANY ONE OF FOUR OPAQUE cups.

When you turn around, you IMMEDIATELY know where the spike is!

EVEN FROM ACROSS THE ROOM!

You can now smash the cups with your hand, one at at time, then finally lift the last cup to show that the spike is still there - using as much comedy, suspense, presentation & showmanship as your style permits!

You can REMIND YOURSELF as OFTEN as you want where it is, but here's the BEST PART...

YOU WILL NOT GET HURT EVEN IF YOU SMASH DOWN THE WRONG CUP BY MISTAKE!

Gerry Frenette's NAILED really is the ultimate professional solution to this superb effect that is loved by performers and audiences worldwide. We have all seen the horror videos on the internet of previous versions failing, but now you can CONFIDENTLY perform this effect, on any surface, in any situation, with ABSOLUTELY NO RISK of any danger at all!

WATCH THE DEMO VIDEO TO SEE THE CLEANLINESS AND BE SURE TO WATCH ALL THE WAY TO THE END TO SEE JUST HOW SAFE THIS REALLY IS!

Question: Hi

How would you compare this to Jon Allen's great solution to the nail roulette effect, The Pain Game - which is comparable in price but a little cheaper - and allows the decisions to be taken out of the hands of the performer?

And if you smash down on the wrong cup, does the effect simply turn into a vanishing nail effect and all that that would entail?

Thanks
Answer: This version is designed so you know where the nail is but has the advantage that if you do get it wrong you will not be harmed
Hope this helps regards Mark

Question: Hi,

Is there a method/principle or is it some sort of device that makes this work everytime? Let's say I for some reason don't have the right equipment with me. Can I use things I find around me where I am, to perform this trick? Like an impromptu version of it.
Answer: No you would need the props supplied to perform this version of nailed

Question: Hi
I have two questions to Gerry Frenette's Nailed:
1. Does the nail stand a quick examination of a spectator?
2. I hitting the nail, does it break (and you have to buy another?) or can it be fixed again?
Thank you for you answer.
Best,
Markus
Answer: The nail can appear solid by tapping it on a solid object. If you do get it wrong then the nail is destroyed. You are supplied with several refils should this happen.
Regards Mark

Question: i was just wondering if the cups are opaque and you can see it when you turn around, how can the audience or audience member not notice this?
Answer: Without tipping the method i will just have to say all you need to know is that you can
