The great @shwood (Brian Brushwood) played around with some cards in his downtime, and managed to throw not one, but two cards, into polystyrene sheets hanging from the ceiling some distance away.
I have to admit, I’m still trying to learn how to throw cards myself, and I thought I was pretty good consistently hitting the TV at my mother’s house, but to impale innocent polystyrene sheets is awesome. Not quite Rick Smith Jr awesome, but awesome none the less.

I expect some sort of Scam School episode on this in the future, Shwood…

Anyway, the great man Brian Brushwood has a show called Scam School on Revision3. I get the podcast and a while ago saw that he was teaching how to do the Human Blockhead. To the uninitiated, it’s basically hammering a 4.5″ nail into your head via your nose. Really.

After watching the stunt (It isn’t a magic trick, as you really do apply nail to nostril), I had some cotton buds nearby and actually tried it. And it worked. It also kept me awake for a few hours thanks to the sheer awesomeness of being able to do it.
And I would bust out the cotton buds to people over the next few weeks. And then disaster struck. I accidentally let go of the end of the cotton bud, and it went all the way into the nose. Managed to get it out, but I was terrified about going to the local hospital to get it taken out.
So I switched to nails. And I bought a hammer too.
And now I hammer the nail into my face.

No free drinks yet though…
