When it comes to Modblog worthy pictures, few groups can compete with Agro recently. The guys and gals of Agro have performed some incredible and cutting edge suspensions and body play, like the trampoline super pull and Neil’s single point stomach we featured recently.
At a recent performance the Agro folks used a common sideshow money maker, having people staple money to one of their performers.
I remember seeing this stunt performed by Capt. Don Leslie many years ago, and he made out pretty well from it. I bet this pretty young lady faired even better.
Thanks to Mike Kelton, for submitting this image.

Dude, chill the hell out. A lot of people are grossed out by money in the first place, so with the added bonus of doing the middle school “let’s use this stapler on our arms” thing, it seems pretty unsanitary and rough. That’s not “shit talking,” that’s voicing an opinion that you just don’t happen to like.
Either way, I like the tattoos and/or makeup on her face.

I’ve stapled plenty of money to sideshow performers, and they aren’t dead.
Money is dirty, yes..

Rick, i love you and i miss you and the rest of the AGRO team. To the rest of you, i am the girl in the picture, and yes i was well awaire of the risks and im perfectly fine!!!. It was a show, it amused people and raised money for AGRO. It was not a rusty old gun and staples, it was very clean, yes the money is dirty but the staples only went in 1/8 of an inch, and were cleaned and sanitized thoroughly after. im sure everyone has handled money with a cut on their finger or hand and didnt have it immediatly sanitized after as well as i did, and your not dead. Quit being so judgemental.

Look you guys, nobody made her do it. She wanted to. Honestly I think it’s a clever idea to raise money, even though money is gross, who cares?! And Rick.. really? at least everyone else voiced their opinions (for or against) without being a douche. so knock it off! and enjoy the posts 🙂

ok so we’re only supposed to care some of the time then when it comes to being clean and using sterile materials?

I should have just said , “brilliant observation Captain obvious!!” of course Money is dirty. It surely shouldn’t take a piercer to point that out. I can admit to being an ass. I have been accused of that a lot.

re: modblog staple gun comments
the first two comments weren’t exactly positive, but they could have been much worse. they both pointed out that money isn’t clean and stapling it in your skin may not be the cleanest thing in the world. you responded *rather* defensively. honestly, i’d have to say, yes, you overreacted… just a tad. i still love you tho! even if you are a fucker! JAJAJA!!!

As a contortionist and sideshow performer for over 8 years, I have performed this trick several times, and I can assure you the risk involved is quite low. Of course any time you breach the skin barrier, there are risks involved, but much less so in a case like this than in many other generally accepted forms of body mod/play. The people on this sight are well-informed enough not to freak out when they see pictures of somebody HANGING from FISH HOOKS stuck through LARGE CHUNKS of their SKIN, because they know or assume that the people involved A) know what they’re doing B) are aware of the risks and C) are consenting adults. So maybe you should give these practitioners the same benefit. This act is NOT giving piercers a bad name because these are not “piercings” – the skin itself is pierced, yes, but not as the word has evolved to be understood in this community. That’s as logical as complaining that suspensions give fly fishers a bad name.
There are several factors to a trick like this that I am not at liberty to divulge (I’ll be blackballed from the Magician’s Association Guild Club!! …. ), but I assure you, the risks are in no way greater than the benefit. I’ve made 200 in about half an hour walking around a crowd with a staple gun, and I’d do it again!

#24 – Have to disagree that the benefits are not greater than the risks. What if someone grabbed your stapler and went to town on themselves; then you immediately used it after, without any kind of cleaning, and without knowing said person has a life threatening disease?
As someone who knows several sideshow performers who do this, they make the choice of their own accord. The general rule is that you do not share the stapler with anyone else [duh], and that you clean up with some sort of antiseptic after removing the staples [duh again]. There may very well be individuals who do not follow this practice, but again, it is to their OWN risk.
Having said that, while I enjoy putting stainless steel swords and other objects in my throat, I would NEVER let people staple money to me. That’s just my choice.
