Dis Jointed

Joe Russell

(Based on 1 review)
Dis Jointed is a revolutionary new method for "Shinko's classic Arm Twist" that turns the screws on the scream factor.

Dis Jointed gives you the freakish ability to twist your normal arm 360 degrees around with bone crunching sound. Then there's a heart stopping "pop" as you physically break your elbow at the joint! You then complete the dislocation by shoving your shoulder back into your arm socket. The freak-fest ends with one more 360 degree twist of your arm as your shocked spectators watch your bones snap back into place!
  • Dis Jointed can be performed by anybody with normal body parts.
  • No pre-set
  • No hand switches
  • Not misdirection
  • No pain

For the ultimate freak-out, perform Shinko's original arm twist first...and then drop them to their knees with Dis Jointed!

Some freaks are born. Others are made.

The best are...DIS JOINTED!

I’ve never been flexible enough to perform Shinkoh Nagisa’s “Twisting Arm Illusion,” but I had less trouble executing Joe Russell’s freakshow upgrade, wherein you appear to twist your arm 360 degrees, then break it at the elbow, then finally twist it another 360 degrees to restore it to normal. Admittedly, my arm only twists about 65 or 70 percent of the distance Joe’s does, but the illusion is still very strong, and I suspect with some simple stretching exercises, I could increase my rotation by 15 or 20 percent in a matter of weeks.

Generally, magic tricks are designed to evoke a sense of wonder in their audience—this one taps into something more like giddy revulsion. If that’s a reaction you’re interested in generating, there’s no reason not to try “Dis Jointed.”
