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 …
What a wonderful effect from Gene Elmo and the routine designed by David Ginn and published in M.U.M. (October 1981) and later in David’s book School Show Presentations is priceless.

Daggering was invented by Fred Lowe c. 1964. This version was released by Repro 71 c. 1975 with no mention of Fred Lowe anywhere.
