Finger guillotine

Finger guillotine

A finger guillotine (also known as a finger chopper) is either a novelty item or a magic trick depending on the quality. The basic effect is that a miniature guillotine is shown, a spectator's finger is placed in the "head" hole, and the blade is either dropped or slammed onto the finger, which it goes through. In some versions, such as Chance Wolf's ultimate finger chopper, the finger is even seen to fall off. It is also shown in the movie "Hostel" as part as a torture museum that Paxton and his friends go to on their fateful holiday to Slovakia.
