The old carnival routine where a person (usually a woman) stands against a board as a target and the throwing knives are supposed to hit on either side of the target, which may lead to a [[Knife Outline]].

== [[Comic Books]] ==
* General Alcazar in ''[[Main/Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/The Seven Crystal Balls/Recap|RecapThe Seven Crystal Balls]]'' has a [[Knife Throwing Act]]. After creating a full [[Knife Outline]] around his Indian target, he asks an audience member to blindfold him. His blind throw hits right in the center of the fruit held over the target's chest.
* Knife throwing was one of the skills mastered by the Gambler, a [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] foe of the [[Green Lantern]], during his time at the carnival.
* In a ''[[Batman (Comic Book)|Batman]]'' arc where Two-Face takes over a circus, Deadeye Dagger, the circus knife-thrower, was one of his more willing henchmen.
