tricks freaturing a Fearsome Foursome of Freakery- dynamite entertainment
which will shock, amaze and disgust event the most hardened Halloween
reveler! Witness bizarre feats like the Human Blockhead, in which a 6" steel
spike is hammered straight into the performer's head! See the Mr. Pennygaff,
the Sword Swallower, down 24" of shining, sharpened steel! Feel the bottom
of your stomach drop out as Magic Brian swallows a length of thread and 10
brand new razors, straight out of the package- and pulls them out of his
mouth in a bloody garland! See Philomena dance barefoot upon a splintered
carpet of shattered beer bottles! Gape openmouthed as Ravi the Scorpion
Mystic contorts his body into nightmare shapes! These strange feats and more
will keep your eyes riveted throughout
the evening.
Don't forget a very special "Group Costume contest" for the $1000 Grand
prize! You and a minimum of one other soul, must arrive in the same theme.
You can have as many in your group as you would like, but the minimum is two
folks in a clearly shared theme. All attending will help choose the winner.
