Two Hole Wrist Chopper (Deluxe with Case) by Unknown, Ben Stone

Ben Stone invented the Two Hole Wrist Chopper and although Joe Karson (of Zombie fame) might want to lay claim to it (and it is still called the Karson Wrist Chopper on the Owen’s site) – he did not invent it, but Ben Stone did and it is clearly documented by Michael Rose in his wonderful book Joe Karson – Beyond Zombie (Chapter 11).

This version is a really beautiful version of Ben’s signature effect.

Rumor has it, these were made about 1990 by an East Coast magic dealer. Ben Stone was actually shown this and asked if he made it, he said, “No, but I’m still the original creator.”  Ben admired the workmanship behind it.  If you know who created this please contact me here.

Effect: This is one of my favorite illusions. Unlike most chopper illusions this defies explanation because at the end the blade which can be examined is clearly surrounding the wrists with no explanation at all how it could have penetrated them. If you are looking to spice up your parlor or stage act this is large enough to see and amaze, but small enough to pack!
