A Magician
Today I present a magician...and I don't know his name. He was performing this weekend at The Carolina Renaissance Festival at the Washer Wenches stage, but I didn't catch his name. Take a careful look and see if you can see what he's doing in this picture:
Yes, that's correct, he's nailing a nail into his face. There was a sword swallower at the festival a couple years ago I really loved, but he's moved on -- so this guy takes his place (at least for nails). This fellow was an excellent magician, working the crowd and working classic magic tricks. Towards the end he really made the cups and balls tricks interesting when oranges started showing up! And for the grand finale, SIX oranges and a cantaloupe showed up! Very impressive. He also said he's be on Letterman in a couple weeks, so I'll see what else there might be to that! Previously:

Ogre, I've always wondered about you, but your amusement at a guy hammering nails into his face has erased all doubt! LMBO
My first modeling assignment many decades ago was at a Renaissance Faire in SoCal, when they were just starting out. It was a blast for my then 18 year old bod to sport a cute little "tavern maiden" costume...as a history buff, it was great fun! However, had I seen someone hammer a nail in their face, I'd never have attended another! GROSS!
Sorry I didn't give you proper credit/link in that Vernon Robinson piece. I've rectified my ommission.

And this guy's got nothing on Thom the sword swallower from a couple years ago. That guy would actually use a hand drill to insert a DRILL into his nose! And that was just the warm-up for the swords down the throat.
