The Blokes' Book of Bloody Terrifying Stuff

Admit it, you've always wanted to know how to eat a scorpion, or catch a speeding arrow while blindfolded, or rip a phone directory in half in 10 seconds flat. And this is the book to show you how. The Blokes' Book of Bloody Terrifying Stuff offers a behind-the-scenes, no-holds-barred look at how you can emulate your favourite mentally unhinged stuntmen. Today's modern daredevils breathe fire, stuff rattlesnakes into their mouths, juggle chainsaws and enjoy a spin in a washing machine. Why? Who knows. But it's great fun to see how they do it. Just don't try this at home!

Ben Ikenson is a speechwriter, journalist and lifelong admirer of the art of the stunt. His work has appeared in numerous books and magazines.
