* In ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' version three, Maxie Dasai gets hit in the face [[Annoying Arrows|by an arrow]] and comes away with a minor wound across her cheek, somehow managing to avoid any serious harm.

* For some two centuries [[Stage Magician]]s have been demonstrating feats of [[w:Card throwing|card throwing]] -- also called "scaling" -- that frequently include such apparently impossible feats as slicing vegetables with thrown playing cards and embedding them into wooden planks. Surprisingly, there is no "trick" or illusion involved in these feats; although the cards employed may be of slightly heavier stock than normal playing cards, the "secret" is simply a specialized throwing skill that almost anyone can learn. In the current era, magicians [[Ricky Jay]] and [[Rick Smith, Jr.]] are especially well-known for their card-throwing skills.
