bad hair tour trick

Post by Yank27 »

Hey Berm,

I hve been wondering this for quite some time. During the intro to "One More Minute" during "The Bad Hair Tour" Al cuts his arm with a big carving knife. How did he pull that one off? Because his fingers were moving and all, and it didn't look like his arm was hidden in his shirt. :o

Right after that when the lights go down for a moment, Mongo stitches him up real quick and puts a coat on Al to hide the wound (note: that coat was red to mask the blood stains!)



Every night Al would open the same wound and Mongo would stitch it up again. It finally healed after the last tour and just before Al's honeymoon.

I believe Al learned how to do this trick from The Amazing Johnathan.



Cheers, Diva

who has seen a few of TAJ's specials on Comedy Central and was mightily impressed indeed

Yep, Johnathon provided the knife, and a few other devices at the time that didn't get used.

There's one grammatical error - should be "sorry if there are mis-spellings" and 4 spelling errors:



mis-spellings is misspellings...



extreems should be extremes...



tollerance has only one L...



And you misspelled MY name - it's Bermuda, not Berm!
