Florida State Fair - Guillotine Trick Gone Wrong - Severed Human Head

This is a trick from the Florida State Fair. Watch closely as the the guillotine drops too early. Look at the emcee's face as it drops before she plans. This is a pretty lame parlor trick, but it is kinda fun. This also gives you insight into what occurs at an old freakshow. Sunshine loses head!

Lamme. I've been to the state fair several times. And I know how this trick is done. She wasn't really killed and her head was not really cut of..

[ninjapimp69]

Clearly. They don't actually kill people at the state fair.  That would be bad.

[morbid301]

...know it is suppose to be a cheesy joke and all... but come on. a little suspense, fake blood, and death rattle would have given those hicks a short sharp shock. what happened to kayfabe?!

[ninjapimp69]

Was there Karney Kayfabe?

[RoscoesRiffs]

For her last words, she should sing, "I ain't got no bo--oo--dy!"

[NatashaFatale59]

EPIC FAIL!

[cokercreek51]

That was dumb!

[laurabeth9891]

you get what you pay for. obviously we weren't going to see a real gorilla girl, or spider lady, or beheading. however we did see real fire eating and knive throwing (attempted) and sword swallowing. and dr. frankenstein self mutilates for an addtional fee. id pay the $4 to see a guy trained to slow his heart rate and avoid bleeding while shoving 3 inch foreign objects through his flesh.

[laurabeth9891]
