Needle from Eye to Eye

WARNING: I will not be held responsible for any damages and or injuries while performing this effect.

Effect:A small needle is cleanly pushed into the right eye
and emerges from the mouth.it is pushed back into the mouth.
It is pushed back into the mouth and finally emerges from the left eye.

Required: 3 perfectly smooth needles made from from silver. Size should be 1/2 inch by 1/16th inch. Lager sizes can be used after alot of practice.

Method: Basically one needle is previously hidden in the left eye between
eye and lower eye lid and one is hidden in mouth behind lower lip.
During the show a needle is introduced into right eye and hidden behind
the lower eyelid.You pretend to push it along the veins and expose
the needle in the mouth pushing it out with tongue.This is then replaced in
mouth and pushed to the left eye from where previously hidden needle is removed.

Practice is essential in introducing the needle and keeping it there.The needles should
be perfectly polished and free from scratches ans barbs.The needle is pushed into the
inner corner of the eye in a downward direction and finally rest behind the lower eyelid.
Initially you feel an itching sensation and the eyes tend to water.however after a few hours of practice these sensation vanish.

Once you can keep the needle in the eye for some time without showing
on feeling and sing of discomfort you are all set to perform the feat.
The needle from the mouth is pushed out by the tongue without the hand
going near it to eliminate suspicion of a palmed needle.The needle from the eye is pushed out by running
a finger on the outside of the lower lid to enable the audience to see it clearly emerging form the eye.

Note again: It is dangerous!
