Penn & Teller - Needle Trick

grinter says...

Yes, the screen for the benefit of the audience shows an extreme close-up of Teller's mouth at this point. It does not show (well) his hands or him throwing the apple off stage.
The quickness with which he grabs the apple after a visual gag (while the audience is still laughing), bites, and throws it away, the fact that he doesn't even look at the apple when he grabs it, the introduction of a new prop and gag (flashlight/mouth exam) right after this moment, all look like misdirection to me.
Also... what is he doing with his left hand while eating the apple? I only need one hand to eat an apple.

No I dont? The big screen camera on the back was actually zoomed in on him when he was eating the apple.

Also its a live audience and the cuts didn't seem to keep me from keeping track of the points I wanted to see.

The Electric Fence

Tip:
use the backside of the hand to touch a prospectfully charged electric wire.
If the electricity causes your hand to tense up, you'll be glad it doesn't close up, grabbing an electric wire.

The worst that can happen is you punch yourself in the face.

Shelving System to Hide your Valuables, Guns & More Guns

>> ^colt45:

So those 82% are all owning guns for murder or war, then? Let's just take this absurd myopic view one step further: Rocks are dangerous weapons that need to be banned! They are readily available to children and highly dangerous!
>> ^L0cky:
Around 6% of US Americans hunt, yet around 34% own a gun; therefore around 82% of gun owners own a gun for something other than hunting. Bringing up hunting is just avoiding the issue.
Besides, I don't think that guy's UZI is for hunting rabbits.
Also, you don't need to teach children how to safely use firearms if they don't have access to firearms. Kinda like how you don't need to teach them how to safely use a particle accelerator, even though they too are dangerous.



Wow. That definitely made my top 10 list of "Really stupid things that I actually read on the internet".

Seriously, when was the last time a kid accidently threw a rock and blew his friends brains out? Accidently put a hole through their own foot / hand / leg?

Sure, they can be used as a close up blunt damage weapon. However, in order to actually kill someone with a rock, it would generally have to be pre-meditated (i.e. kill them when they're asleep, because if you try to kill someone with a rock when they're concious and healthy, it probably wont go well.)

I can think of countless stories over the years involving some idiot irrational gun owner going out and killing someone they knew nothing about, because they felt threatened. Lately, the one I remember is of Trayvon Martin. You know, the kid shot for eating skittles on a street he didn't live on.

But let's go ahead and get back to the point @spoco2 was making earlier. Rocks have existed since the beginning of time. They serve no purpose, they have no design, or goal. They're simply there.

Guns, on the other hand, were designed as an instrument of death. In no part of the gun design was someone thinking "AND it'll function as a paperweight!". It was just another step further in the direction of long ranged combat, specifically for ending the life of another human being.

That's not to say that everybody who does own a gun has it for the sole reason of killing someone, after all, people still collect swords, axes, fascinating weapons from throughout the ages.

But I can't honestly see the amount of collectors being too high.
