nail roulette performed with an egg?

Postby nornando » May 14th, 2013, 8:55 pm

Desperately need the name of a "nail roulette" routine in which an egg is used in place of the nail. Briefly, the egg is in one of three paper bags, two are chosen and smashed against the volunteer, the egg of course is in the remaining bag.

Years ago in an old Genii magazine I remember reading that Jonathan Pendragon wrote up a routine with an egg under an inverted paper cup. In turn, each cup was smashed leaving the egg under the last remaining cup unharmed.

I will try to hunt down the exact copy and post the month and year here if I find it.
Outward sunshine; Inward joy,
Blessings on thee, Barefoot Boy.
