The Daredevil's Manual - Softcover

Packed with dozens of outrageous stunts, The Daredevil?s Manual is a practical guide that unlocks the secrets of the bravest (and craziest) antics anyone could hope to get up to. Impress your friends by eating 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes, lifting anvils with your ears, walking on hot coals and swallowing a sword. If that seems a little tame, the truly insane will welcome the opportunity to learn how to wear a 10,000 bee beard, eat a live scorpion and ? for an encore ? hammer a nail into their nose. For those who enjoy living life without serious injury, simply reading the book is enough, with tongue in cheek instructions and step-by-step illustrations showing every gruesome move. Danger: this book could seriously damage your health!
