The crowd became hushed as the man took his place on the stage. In front of him stood two metal stands
with a thick wooden board balanced between them. On top of the board laid a thick Teflon skillet.
You could have heard a pin drop - the crowd was mesmerized, on the edge of their seats by the anticipation... What happened next sounded like a gunshot and in the blink of an eye, the nail was now clean through both the frying pan, the board and was sticking out of the other side as if someone had pounded it in there with a sledge hammer... But there was no hammer, this man drove that nail through the wood and the metal in with nothing but the power of his bare hand. |
