In Reply to: Mark Allen actually used my own bullwhip to wrap me at the convention!!! posted by Dale Dassel on July 03, 2000 at 17:16:17:
Took any pics at the convention? I'd love to see them! The only people I can see using whips are the ones on TV and in the mirror.
: He was doing a lecture for the whip group, which was what I was there
: for- and he was explaining how the trick works where you whip somebody
: and the whip cracks heavily past them, then continues around to wrap
: them, but how the energy had already been dissipated, so the whip can
: no longer hurt them. And that it was a visual trick. I raised my hand
: while he was in the middle of talking, and he acknowledged me. I finished his explanation for the benefit of the crown because I already knew what he was going to say. The he asked me if I would help him with a demonstration. I said yes, and walked up there. I handed
: him my 12-foot David Morgan. He played out the length of the whip
: behind him and I stood away, arms at my side. He explained to the
: group how he was going to snare me with it. He then proceeded to try
: it three times, but my whip was too long. He recoiled it and asked
: me, "How long is this whip?" I replied, "It's 12 feet. I got it from
: David Morgan." To which he commented, "David Morgan makes his whips
: a little on the heavy side." So he hands my bullwhip to some other
: guy, and gets a black 6-foot whip out of his own bag and proceeded
: to snare me with it three times around the waist. I was totally
: cool and calm because I knew how it worked. But it was fun.
: The other highlight of the Con was meeting Lauren Muney, the cute
: redheaded project coordinator. She was really nice, too.
