Nice! Reminds one of King Diamond being burned alive during Cremation on the Conspiracy Tour. Looks pretty realistic to me, I wonder how that trick works!
sorry to the late replay [was at this same exact show at the far left] but how the trick works [if you're honestly interested] is Alice is laying on a platform that gives out. so he falls to the bottom of the guillotine and a plate with a fake next replaces him and the fake head is already in the box. he talked about it and the old noose trick in interviews before [ps] that is a real guillotine blade [apparently]
Found this account from FAR OUT magazine: Alice Cooper Makeup Tutorial 1. ‘The guillotine’ His most famous/infamous trick, the guillotine is also the very stage tactic that could easily have cost him his life. Designed by James Randi, the stage-hand has added pathos, considering that it could very easily have killed the singer. Randi remembered the attention to detail that went into formulating the stunt: “There were several safety gimmicks I built into it. I took the original plan from Will Rock. He was a prominent magician at the turn of the century who built this guillotine for a horror show. It is unique in that the head that falls into the basket is the head of the performer, the real head. “That takes some explaining, but I’ll let you think about that for a while. The performer’s whole body falls down and there is no substitute for the head until the end when they pull it out. The proof is in the next act, when Alice is back working again. I did build it, but I knew how the original Will Rock one worked. I built a few other safety gimmicks into it to the satisfaction of Coop. He wanted to be very sure he didn’t lose his head before the end of the tour.” Since then, the guillotine has appeared on virtually every tour, delighting audiences with a series of “will this get him?” exploits. And with any luck, Cooper will continue to put his head through the contraption for the foreseeable future.
alice cooper is like a rock n roll magician.

Yes!!! Man I tried and looked hard and didn’t see the head “switch”. Many years of practice I guess! Always fun to see! LOL!

she's really great at the staging 🖤💜
And this guy claims to be a Christian? How so? What exactly is a Christian?
I dunno. I just like the music.
What harm did he do to any living being when he performed that?
There’s a difference between on stage Alice and off stage Alice
No blood comes out
Allah wakbar
