Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-27-2005 11:51 AM                        Why is that style of personal ornamentation called a Prince Albert? The clip is indeed really funny. Is it from a TV show? What's the name of the actress again?  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 11-27-2005 12:42 PM                     The Prince Albert piercing is sometimes said to be named after Queen Victoria's consort Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It is alleged that he wore a ring attached to his penis which was then strapped to his thigh, in order to maintain the smooth line of the tight trousers that were in fashion at the time. It is very difficult to ascertain the validity of this story, and the claim seems highly unlikely. No contemporary account of him adopting the practice has come to light, and many suspect that it was a myth invented by Doug Malloy who helped popularize body piercing in the USA. (It has also been suggested that the name actually refers to Queen Victoria's grandson Prince Albert Victor. This theory probably stems from attempts to link Prince Albert Victor with the Jack the Ripper murders).  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-27-2005 01:50 PM                  EDIT: Mike, the clip is from the 2002 MTV Movie Awards. More info here . Speaking of the web, a quick Google of "Prince Albert" turned up this info, including a pic, of the piercing.

The glass is gimmicked. The people holding the paper are confederates. The real trick would be to see him do it without the paper. Stuff like this fails to impress me. It's not magic if you have to cover it up to make it work. That's why I really appreciate sleight of hand work like card manipulation. It's a more pure form of conjuring which relies solely on the skill of the magician to misdirect and work manual artifice, often right under the spectator's nose.  |  IP: Logged
