Morgan Strebler's Razors Edge DVD

EFFECT: From his prop case, the performer takes out 5 white shoelaces, all held together, side-by-side, in one closed fist (fist is around the laces about 5-7 inches from one end, and all ends of the laces are visible). They're all identical in color and length. Performer explains the premise; a "russian roulette" type effect... 4 of the 5 shoestrings will be grabbed - and PULLED - from the performer's hand, one at a time, until only one string remains in the hand. The performer says he is "pretty sure" he knows which string will be left behind, and so has made a prediction... He has tied ONE ITEM to ONE of the strings... This ONE ITEM tied to ONE OF THE STRINGS is hidden in his closed fist (which holds all of the strings)... After a couple (freely selected) shoelaces have been stripped from the performer's hand, the performer tells the audience exactly WHAT is tied to one of the strings... A RAZOR BLADE... "So you understand," explains the performer, "That all of these strings will slide freely from my tightly closed fist... except for one." Tension builds as, one by one, strings are grabbed randomly by different spectators and torn from the performer's closed fist... Two remain... Spectator grabs one. (This is a great place for by-play about the spectator changing their mind)... Performer wildly pulls his fist back, freeing the empty string. One string remains in his hand. With no funny moves, he opens his fist, revealing - YES - the one remaining string has - tied onto it - a very real razor blade.
