Your audience will gasp when they see this seemingly impossible feat performed. An ordinary sharp-pointed knife is freely shown. An assistant stands directly in front of a target, holding an inflated balloon in front of her. The performer states that it is impossible for him to throw the knife and penetrate the young lady without harming her. The knife is thrown, the balloon bursts, and the knife is seen to impale itself firmly in the target. It is then removed and passed for exmination. No special costume is necessary for the assistant. Either a male or female assistant may be used.
