The Pain Game by Jon Allen

Finally, A Truly Safe Approach to Pain! I used to perform one of the original Death Trap’s a few years ago, but my wife was so nervous about it that I had to explain to her how it worked. Even when she knew she was always worried it could go wrong. There is always the chance that you’d forget what you’re doing and hit the wrong bag and really cause some damage. With the Pain Game there is zero chance of you hurting yourself, even if you just guess and this leads to a much better routine.

Here are the things I like about the Pain Game: there is zero risk in hurting yourself, the audience member gets to choose which bag you hit next, the bags don’t fall off the table, there are no electronics or external devices of any kind including magnetic rings etc., and set-up is easy.  This really is the perfect solution to a safe Russian Roulette effect.

Effect: FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

THE PAIN GAME is THE absolute 100% safe way to perform a Russian Roulette routine. Forget the horror stories and videos of people stabbing themselves on nails, knives, and other sharp objects. When performing THE PAIN GAME you will never run the risk of every doing the same thing. Why? Because the method and procedure are totally 100% safe.

This is what happens: A six inch nail confirmed as being solid and indeed sharp. The nail is pushed through a hole in a block of wood so it stands upright. This is placed into a paper bag which is then closed and sealed. Three more identical bags are introduced. The bags are mixed up so nobody knows where the nail is hidden. An audience member selects a bag and you slam your hand down on it. This is repeated with a second and a third bag. The final bag is opened and the nail is revealed. Your hand lives to fight another day!

THE PAIN GAME raises the bar for the classic ‘Nail Roulette’ effect to a whole new level. Thanks to the precision-made gimmick there is no safer Nail Roulette on the market today. While other versions have the unlikely yet ever-present danger of injuring either yourself or someone else, THE PAIN GAME, is categorically 100% safe yet the risks appears to be 100% real.

For those who want the effect without the worry there is only one choice…THE PAIN GAME

“Jon Allen’s Pain Game is absolutely the very best version of this effect ever. I performed it twice last Halloween and was really delighted with the audience response. Thank you, Jon.”
