Spike is a game of Russian Roulette played with a two inch Nail. The magician takes four identical Styrofoam cups, has one of them selected by a member of the audience, and then places the nail under that cup. The magician will then turn around and have the participant place the cups in any desired order and double check which cup the nail is under. The magician will then turn around and using his magic, read the cups to see which one has he nail under it and one by one, smash each cup. The remaining cup is then turned over to reveal the 2 inch nail. Difficulty: Medium Category: Dangerous Magic ::PERFORMANCE OF SPIKE:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY0AlLVwLbU
