: : And while we're at it, how do you create the sound of breaking bones when the arm is twisted? I'm guessing rubber cement for the first question and a plastic drinking glass under the other arm for the second. Does anyone know?

: I haven't seen the twisted flesh, but the plastic glass is probably the best way for the sound. I've used that a lot (separate from the twisting arm). Somewhere I've seen an ad for a gimmick that will make a similar sound, but plastic glasses/cups are cheaper and work just fine.

: You might also want to put the plastic cup in a rubber (surgical) glove to catch all the pieces, but it's not really necessary.

I think David Blaine used it on his special. If memory serves me, it shows his arm for a second and the flesh just above his wrist is all twisted looking like he turned his hand around one too many times. Nice touch.

PS - Hey Bob K. - Did you stop writing to me or did I stop writing to you? I was having trouble with my E-Mail so I'm not sure. Hope it wasn't something I said.
