Knife Outline: Difference between revisions

"Fuck the spear work," growled Valentinian. "The kid never even blinked! ''That's'' amazing. I may never fuck again, just from watching." }}

* In [[Garry Kilworth]]'s ''The Silver Claw'', a knife-thrower is on the list of murder suspects. At the beginning of his act he does a Knife Outline on another suspect's arm. The victim reacts with anger and is booed offstage. The detective hero then observes the knifethrower during his act and sees that, when challenged to hit the centre of a playing card pinned to the wall, he simply outlines it and can't hit the centre, because "he has trained all his life to ''miss'' things, not to hit them."

{{quote| It was his custom of a summer evening to fire round my head, just shaving my face, until he had made a photograph of me on the opposite wall, and it is a slight proof of his skill that many of these portraits in pistol shots are considered admirable likenesses.}}
