I can see how you could hammer a nail in without doing, er, lasting damage, I think. It's like sword-eating (did you know they ACTUALLY do that!)
Apparently, according to a friend of mine who's done it, if you do it right, glass-walking doesn't hurt (Ha!). She says the really difficult thing is staying aware enough to step on the deepest bits of glass, scrunch your foot down before putting your weight on, whilst simulataneously being calm and trance-y enough not to totally freak out. (Also, I read somewhere, Derren was a bit ill one night - coughing and spluttering earlier - and cut his feet doing the glass thing. I suppose that's why it's near the interval. OMIGOD HE'S SUCH A FREAK)
I think Andy Nyman came up with those ideas for a sick joke or as revenge for something horrid Derren did to him. 'Hey, Derren! You know what would make your new tour script really great? If you inflict loads of pain on yourself while I watch and laugh a bit'
Proving things with SKIENCE!
I want to see this fic!
