ITEM DETAILS - A bit of History of The Worlds Most Dangerous Card Trick 
For many years Sideshow performers have performed the effect of plunging their hand into the jaws of an animal trap. The Worlds Most Dangerous Card Trick was born right out of the Sideshow world. 
I was first shown A stunt by a gospel preacher - Pete Hodge back in the early 90s and I first performed it as a sideshow stunt. Then in the late 1990’s, I  came up with what I called The Worlds Most Dangerous Card Trick combining the effect with a deck of cards.  This is when a chosen card is lost in a deck and the cards are placed into a trap. I then would snatch the card out of the deck before the trap snapped shut on my fingers. 
I later discovered it was a common name for a  stunt when a trap and cards are combined!  I also discovered the following combinations - 
The Worlds Most Dangerous Card Trick - involving a sword
The Worlds Most Dangerous Card Trick - involving a knife
The Worlds Most Dangerous Card Trick - involving a mouse trap.
I did some research and from what I could find at the time - the longest-standing magician that also used a pack of cards and an animal trap called their effect The World's Most Dangerous Card Trick was Master Payne. He had been performing his routine since the 80s. We talked about our different approaches and he was in full support of me using the title to best call my effect - The Worlds Most Dangerous Card Trick.

So now I am sharing my routine with you that has years of honing and the history of the influence from a sideshow perspective. I hope you enjoy it!
