Thread performed by Criss Angel

Warning: Before anyone does this, I am warning you that it does hurt and it can cause damage to your eyes. If you perform this trick, you are taking all of the responsibilty for anything that may go wrong.
Effect: Spectator takes a piece of thread and puts it in his mouth, allowing just a tiny piece to stick out. He then pulls at his eye lashes and starts pulling one out. It turns into the string and he pulls it farther out. The piece of string that is sticking out of his mouth is pulled all they way into his mouth and the rest of the string is pulled from his eye.

Method
: First, take two pieces of thread that are the exact length. With one, place it in some warm water. You want this water to be about room temperature, maybe a little warmer. You don't want it too cold, because it will irritate your eye, and the same thing with it being to hot. Now that the string is saturated with water, take it out and ring it out a little bit, making sure it stays damp.

This is the main trick now. Before you perform this, you have to insert the thread into your bottom eye lid, making sure just a little sticks out. Once the thread it in your eye, do not move your eyes downwards, as this increases the chances of damage to your eye as the thread may become lodged into your eye. You also have to make sure that some of the thread is sticking out. This way it looks like an eye lash and people won't think anything of it.

Now that you have that down, take the other piece of thread and insert it into your mouth, allowing a little to hang out of your mouth. Now act as if you are forcing the thread up to your eye. The acting really sells this trick.

Once you have acted as if the thread has gone up to your eye, find the thread that you have already inserted into your eye lid and start pulling. At the same time, suck in the thread that is hanging out of your mouth. By doing that, it looks as if it is just one thread. Keep pulling the thread out of your eye, and once all the thread is in your mouth, you can either swallow it, or just hide it in your mouth.

Keep pulling all of the thread out of your eye. Do it slowly because it really does hurt. Like all tricks, practice this. And be careful.

You're endagering people by telling tem to swallow the thread piece that you insert in your mouth. That can cause internal damage, and the thread piece could easily get tangled or wrapped around one of your internal organs. So it would be wise if you corrected that piece of information. The proper thing to do regarding the Thread trick is to hide the piece of thread you insert in your mouth under your tongue. Because of the moisture of your mouth, you can easily make it into a tiny little ball and have it hide somewhere under the far back of your tongue.

As far as how you actually get the thread inserted in your eye. Would you mind explaining how that part is done? You can't just coil the Thread piece up into a ball because it gets tangled that way, so when you pull the piece that's hidden with your eye lashes, the whole coil just falls out with it.

I laugh at people who say the stuff Criss Angel does is exposed, when really, they themselves can't even do any of the Tricks he performs successfully. I challenge you to perform the Thread trick before or or two skeptics. Have it that the Thread under your eye lid doesn't just pop out the second you pull the piece that's sticking out. Deal with the pressure of the skeptics judging you from the moment you perform the trick.

But more importantly. How do you get the thread inserted under your bottom eye lid successfully.

Normally when I perform this trick, I use Visine dry eye solution or something like that and soak the thread in that, then place it in my eye, then the second piece of thread comes in my mouth, I ball it up with my tongue and hide it in front of my bottom teeth between the gum and inside of my lip

I use the visine dry eye solution thing for the thread that goes in my eye, then for the thread in my mouth, I use my tongue to ball it up and conceal it between my front bottom teeth and my gum.
