Product Description
Madame Guillotine is a revolutionary take on the finger chopper.
A dangerously beautiful prop that people are immediately drawn to. Who will be foolhardy enough to trust you and place their finger in this deadly contraption? Of course we all know it's safe. I mean it has to be! Isn't it? Yet there is a small nagging doubt in the back of everyone's mind 'What happens if something goes wrong?' which adds a certain je nais sais qua to this effect.
The Guillotine works itself. All you need to do is pull out the pin and let the blade fall. Better still let a second volunteer pull the pin, and they're to blame if Timmy's finger gets chopped off!
Like all magic, the impact is in the presentation. Drape your table with a French Tricolour, don a tricorn hat à la Napoleon and talk up the glories of the French Revolution. It'll be the most memorable horrible history lesson anyone has ever been to.
For church workers this is a high impact illustration for any message on trust. 'Do you trust me? Do you trust God even when what he's asking seems to be too much?' You'll think of other Biblical illustrations including:
- The Seriousness of Sin - 'If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off.' Mark 9:43-47
- The Power of God's Word to cut to the heart of the matter - 'For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword.' Hebrews 4:12
- Living a Fruitful Life - 'He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit.' John 15:2
There is zero chance of anyone losing their finger, but we guarantee that this will be one of the most memorable magical effects you'll ever perform.
Beautifully made from teak, the blades are thick polished metal. It's a thing of beauty. A prop that's a cut above the rest!
So chop-chop. Place your order and relive the glory and the danger of revolutionary magic.
Comes complete with Guillotine made from teak, with thick (and blunt) metal blades and brass chain and pin. 40 cm high. With written instructions.
