Once upon a time in a small village named Cloverdale, there lived a young man named Clovis. Clovis was known for his extraordinary talent for cutting hair. However, what made his skill truly unique was the magical touch he possessed. With a simple swipe of his scissors, he could transform anyone's hair into a work of art. The people of Cloverdale would line up outside Clovis' humble little barbershop, eagerly waiting for their turn. It was said that his haircuts brought good luck and happiness to those who received them.
I found the magic light trick on Instagram a while back from the blogger, Nesting with Grace. I was intrigued, but also, I’m not handy or crafty, so this even seemed like a stretch for me. I needed a way to light these sconces, though, so I gave it a go. Wanna know something, friend?? It worked! I’m still waiting for them to somehow stop working, fall apart, or out of the sconce, but they haven’t!
Make sure that you attach the smooth end of the plumbing adapter onto the 3M strip the threaded end needs to face out so that you can screw it into the sconce. I also have heard than you can use fox s fruit sweets to imitate stained glass and with the red ones the stain on your tongue looks very realistic too Trevor.
It was said that his haircuts brought good luck and happiness to those who received them. Many believed that his scissors had mystical powers that could bring about positive changes in people's lives. One day, a young woman named Lily entered Clovis' barbershop.
Magic light bulb trick
Anyone got any tips on eating lightbulbs, glass etc.?
:smoke:
This is a dangerous stunt - while it can be performed without getting cut, the enamel on your teeth is badly damaged. Most performers of this do it rarely as their teeth suffer.
[usual disclaimer: doing this will a) mess up your insides b) cut you badly c) do real and lasting damage to your teeth]
I'm a bit wary of tipping this in a public forum - send me an email and I'll see what I can do: [email protected]
Posted: Jul 19, 2002 12:27 pm Cheers buddy! If you can't stand the blood, get out of the slaughterhouse! Posted: Aug 14, 2002 02:51 pm How about sugar glass light bulbs. I'm sure there's a way you can make your own. "Something wicked this way comes. " Posted: Aug 19, 2002 07:51 amI've heard in Hollywood they use sugar glass, such as macabre stated. Is their any way I can get this from some store or any recipe I can get it from? I really need to know this for an upcoming film shoot on magic and I want to perform this. After hearing these other guys post, I don't want to have to really eat glass, too scary, but if any of you can help me with the sugar glass, please pm me or email me or post it here, thanks
I heard that the trick is to eat something before eating the glass, that way it'll provide a coating for your esophagus (don't know how to spell that) that will protect your throat while you swallow the glass.
Is this true, or is this a myth? If anyone can help me on this swallowing glass subject I'd greatly appreciate it. I invented a trick that revolves around eating a lightbulb. I tried making sugar glass, and I guess I didn't follow the directions right because it came out a bit yellowish and gooey, so I couldn't shape it. I'm back to having to eat a real light bulb, so please if you can help, do so, thanks
Posted: Aug 27, 2002 02:01 amEating light bulbs is right there with eating razor blades, pretty much the same technique.
I will point you to a resource to follow up on, on your own, but you will have to contact me via PM or email.
Posted: Sep 7, 2002 04:45 amI know this has been asked like 20 times but I still can't find any definite or real useful way of swallowing glass or any alternatives. Any books, advice, video or method would be greatly appreciated
Posted: Sep 8, 2002 05:22 amIt sounds bad.. but I actually eat it.. I'm not saying this is the right way to do it. it's just how I do it and I haven't had any problems yet.
Posted: Sep 26, 2002 09:31 pmJust to let you guys know, glass does not decompose, (as it's made from sand), each time you eat it in any quantity, it's most likely that there will be a little bit of build up in your stomach, and over time, it will acumulate, as the acids in your stomach will not be able to break it down (remember, next to wax, glass is one of the best items for holding acid (as it does not dissolve). Anyways, have you ever heard about the girl who died because she ate her own hair, and it didn't go through her system, and starved her to death, (true story). Just thought I'd let you guys know.
Posted: Oct 15, 2002 11:25 pmThe basics of eating glass can be found in the following Limerick.
I eat light bulbs, mirrors, and glass
I learned how, by taking a class
If you chew it till it's fine
on glass you can dine
What hurts is when it comes out your @$$
Try smashing the glass on a tray, pick some up and start crunching on it - what you really do is have some broken Fox's Glacier Mints to hand, literally - no kidding - and eat these - this looks and sounds good from only inches away.
"My Karma ran over my Dogma. " Posted: Oct 22, 2002 09:46 pmI too have heard of this method you use the clear type mints.I also have heard than you can use fox's fruit sweets to imitate stained glass and with the red ones the stain on your tongue looks very realistic too
Trevor
. Hey Trevor, I've tried the coloured mints but the only thing that was stained was my reputation.
"My Karma ran over my Dogma. " Posted: Nov 19, 2002 06:17 amAte her hair and starved to death? Don't think so. The hair will decompose in the stomach just fine, as will peach fuzz, cornsilk, meat gristle and fishbones. Sounds like an urban legend to me.

Sugar Glass by Rebecca Burt
Cooking pot
Stove Top
Candy Thermometer
2 c. Water
1 c. White Corn Syrup (Karo)
3 1/2 c. Sugar
1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar
Mix the water, corn syrup, sugar and tartar together in the pot and bring it to a boil on the stove (at about 220 F).
Leave it boiling until it reaches 300 F, which will take about 45 minutes. The mixture should be thick, with almost all the water boiled off.
As soon as it hits 300 F, pour it into whatever mold you're using and let it cool.
I've never done this so I don't know how it would work.
On the other hand, you have different fingers. Posted: Dec 5, 2002 06:50 am Sweet! Thanks, magicians helping magicians. Thats why I love this site! Posted: Dec 5, 2002 01:48 pmThat story about the girl eating her hair is absolutely true, it happened a few years ago and was in all the papers, the ball of hair was about the size of an American football, she'd been eating it her whole life and it just kept building up over years. no urban myth there
Posted: Dec 12, 2002 10:14 pmiluznst, how do you mean the same technique as eating razor blades?
In Swami Mantra there is a genuine method of eating razor blades as opposed to the standard magic trick. I was under the impression that the right kind of blades were no longer available. Anybody know if this is the case?

Forgive me for drudging up this old thread, but I came across it while hunting for something else.
Stick to light bulbs. I have eaten a chunk of a beer bottle a couple years ago. I would not recommend it. It is way too thick and felt like my molars were going to crumble. I stopped at one point to check in the mirror when it actually felt like a tooth had crumbled and not the piece of glass. My jaw was sore for a week.
Stick with light bulbs and thin wine/champaign glasses. I have never experimented with crystal glass, but I would stay away from them. I'm not sure how hard they are but I am under the impression that most contain lead.
Sincerely,
Wayne Stevenson

Reviews for "Magical Haircutting Clovis: Where Style and Wizardry Meet"
1. Jane - 1/5 stars - I was really excited to try out "Magical Haircutting Clovis" based on the reviews and descriptions, but I was extremely disappointed with my experience. First of all, the salon was unorganized and the staff seemed overwhelmed. My stylist was in a rush and didn't take the time to listen to my preferences or ask me what I wanted. The haircut itself was a disaster, they completely ignored my requests and ended up cutting off way more than I wanted. Overall, it was a waste of both time and money, and I would not recommend this salon to anyone.
2. Mark - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Magical Haircutting Clovis" as I had heard many rave reviews, but my experience fell short. The salon itself was quite chaotic and it felt like I was just another customer in a factory line. The stylist seemed disinterested and barely communicated with me. The haircut itself was average at best, and definitely not worth the high price I paid. I left the salon feeling underwhelmed and regretful. I'll be searching for a more personalized and attentive salon in the future.
3. Samantha - 2/5 stars - I don't understand the hype around "Magical Haircutting Clovis". I found the entire experience to be underwhelming. The staff was unfriendly and seemed uninterested in providing a quality service. The stylist rushed through my appointment and didn't give me any options or suggestions. The result was a haircut that didn't suit my face shape or preferences at all. I was disappointed with the lack of professionalism and attention to detail. I will not be returning to this salon.
