| Knife-Throwing Act | comment |
The old carnival routine where a person (usually a Lovely Assistant) stands against a board as a target (sometimes a spinning wheel to ramp up the danger). The skilled performer throws razor-sharp knives, and each blade just misses the assistant's body, leading to a Knife Outline on the target. Usually faked when done in live action, even where the possibility of error is supposed to be realistic. Too many things can go wrong, and Lovely Assistants in Stripperiffic outfits aren't easy to come by these days. Compare William Telling, another show of Improbable Aiming Skills. |

The arrested-maturation character Cassian from the Count Cain manga, who looks like a boy but is really thirty-five, and therefore has a weird sort of two-way paternal relationship with his early-twenties commander Jizabel Disraeli, was sold to the circus and performed in one of these for some time. During the series his main weapon remains throwing knives. (Not a very practical primary weapon in real life.) He is not seen to throw any knives after having his brain transplanted into the High Priest's body; presumably he didn't bother to train the new muscles and eyes and so on to the correct coordination and habits. |

In one of the most famous scenes in The Vikings, the Vikings subject a woman accused of adultery to "Odin's test". This consists of using thrown axes to cut the woman's braids while she puts her head through the hollow centre of a large target. All the braids getting cut without she being hurt means she is cleared of the charge. All goes well thanks to Einar. | |

Referenced a couple of times in Discworld, usually with an unimpressed audience complaining that the thrower keeps missing. Nanny Ogg's Cookbook has a Shout-Out to The Vikings in the section on dwarfish ettiquette. It is a bad idea to wear your hair in long braids at a dwarf banquet, because all dwarfs carry axes, and the more they drink, the more unwarrented confidence they have in their throwing skills. |

Elementary: Footballer Phil Simms appears As Himself in "Just a Regular Irregular". Apparently he is the world's greatest knife thrower and only went into football because there is no money in the impalement arts. He is Sherlock's knife-throwing expert and Sherlock consults with him about how a murder during a knife-throwing act at a circus in the 1930s could have been committed. Simms tells Sherlock that his theory is impossible and then demonstrates his knife-throwing prowess before leaving. | |

The Muppet Show: The Teaser for the Peter Sellers episode has Scooter entering Mr. Sellers' dressing room to tell him its "fifteen seconds til' curtain" and catching Gonzo doing a knife-throwing routine with their guest. Sellers, in character as Inspector Clouseau, mutters "Fifteen seconds? I should live so long!" and ducks before receiving a knife to the head. The Gladys Knight episode had a knife-throwing act with Fozzie as the unwitting target. Unfortunately, the theater roof was away at the repair shop, letting in a thick fog and the knife thrower, who aimed with his hearing, was randomly throwing knifes at the slightest sounds while everyone was ducking quietly for their lives. |

In My Name Is Earl, Earl volunteers to be on the target to help win a mother and daughter beauty pageant. The girl doesn't want to spend her life doing pageants though, so Earl encourages her to "accidentally" hit him in the leg during the act. He forgot how much getting stabbed hurt. | |

Black Butler had Dagger, a knife thrower in Noah's Circus. He was quite skilled at it. Ciel tried to throw knives for his entrance exam to get into the circus so he and Sebastian could investigate a case involving missing children. He only hit the mark because Sebastian flicked pebbles at the knives so they would make it to the wooden target, since Ciel wasn't strong enough to chuck them that far himself. | |

In the final episode of The Tripods, the protagonists are hiding in a traveling circus. The ringmaster, Al Pasha, forces two of the children to train for this act, so Will offers to take the girl's place but only when the thrower is good enough to hit the Knife Outline a hundred times in a row. To Will's apprehension he's able to reach this target before the arrive for a big show in Geneva, and so Will has to do some William Telling as the final act involves Will with an apple on his head; he ducks just as the knife splits the apple into two halves that Will catches in each hand. | |

Gangs of New York features a confrontation between the main protagonists in which Cameron Diaz's character Jenny Everdeane acts as a target girl in an impromptu knifethrowing act with the villain (who also uses this ability in combat, and uses an array of differently-sized butcher knives rather than uniform throwing daggers), Bill 'The Butcher' Cutting, played by Daniel Day-Lewis. For extra suspense, he keeps "accidentally" slipping, and constantly on the verge of hitting his partner, both to amuse his audience and to make the protagonist sweat. | |

In Telepath RPG chapter 2 this is Niven's shtick. The problem is he's very good at hitting the target with his knives, not missing them, forcing him to reimburse you for the damage he deals to you when you volunteer. You can get him to join your party and put those 100%-accurate blades to better use. | |

He then throws other daggers on it, and it starts unhooking. Henry O'Neill (Tom Adams) then provokes him into a fight, loses the fight, takes a dagger and throws it on the shield, which makes it fall, meaning all clans are now united and follow Hugh. | |

In the final level of Psychonauts, a terrifying circus made of meat, you must navigate a few deadly obstacle courses including tight ropes, trapezes, and, of course, sword-flinging knife throwers that only aim for you. There's a puzzle where you have to jump in front of a rotating shield at just the right moment so that a knife thrower tosses a knife that impales the shield and becomes a handle which you can catch to hitch a ride upwards. | |

Get Smart. Max is going undercover in a circus when his identity is blown. The circus strongman seizes him while the knife-thrower chucks his knives, but as he's trained himself to just miss the target they miss Max and stick in the arms of the strongman holding him. Max naturally responds with his catchphrase, "Missed me by that much!" | |

The Gladys Knight episode had a knife-throwing act with Fozzie as the unwitting target. Unfortunately, the theater roof was away at the repair shop, letting in a thick fog and the knife thrower, who aimed with his hearing, was randomly throwing knifes at the slightest sounds while everyone was ducking quietly for their lives. | |

One of Murr's punishments on Impractical Jokers has him strapped to a rotating wheel while a magician throws knives at the balloons on the wheel — or so he's told. There are no knives; the balloons are set to explode via remote control. The point (heh heh) is to make Murr think that there are real knives that might hit him instead. | |

Faked in the first season of the reality television series The Mole. In one of the challenges, one of the contestants was placed in a game where he had to try to convince the others (including The Mole) to take part in situations that they would find terrifying. One of these situations involved the mole being blindfolded and put up against a wall, where a miniature ax would supposedly be thrown at her. Although the mole is normally given information in advance, in this case she was not told what was happening in order to up the drama and she actually briefly passed out. (Though none of the contestants were told exactly what they would be doing, she was able to pick up enough clues to guess.) When she finally agreed to the task, the actual throwing was faked— somebody simply walked up and stuck an ax in the wall. | |

This is part of an interrogation technique used on a drug dealer in Dominion Tank Police . First, they strap the man on a wheel. Then, Leona walks up in a Playboy Bunny outfit and politely asks who his suppliers are. If he doesn't answer, she stuffs a pinless grenade in his mouth and spins the wheel. Then the rest of the squad starts throwing knives at the man. They call this technique the "Wheel of Fortune". | |

Ahenobarbus demands that Gleam again show off his skills at an after-party. Gleam reluctantly complies and successfully avoids hitting the Avox forced to be a Lovely Assistant.

Do NOT accept it - the thrower, Morton, will miss the board, and the last thing you see (as you succumb to a knife in the chest) is the circus' ringmistress telling Morton, "You missed!

Conan the Barbarian: In Savage Sword of Conan #119, Conan (in a scene that is undoubtedly a Shout-Out to the movie The Vikings) is forced to play a game where his sister's head is stuck through the middle of a hollow target and he must throw axes to sever her braids while blindfolded. Luckily, he manages not to slay his own sister; and since he ran out of sisterly braids while still having an axe left, he indulges in a manly jest and throws the weapon at Magloclun, cutting the clan leader's own braid. | |

Midsomer Murders: In "Death in Disguise", Barnaby is puzzled by how the Victim of the Week was stabbed while all of the suspects were on the other side of the room. After a "Eureka!" Moment while watching a game of darts, he realises the victim was killed with a thrown knife, and then learns that one suspect had been a knife-thrower in a circus. | |

The Great Beauty: Geronimo masterfully performs the one on Trumeau at the party hosted by Lillo de Gregorio. The knifes land very close to her as they should. | |

One of Ray William Johnson's viral videos was a series of videos by a couple named Dakoda and Adam involving various knife-throwing (including a on-fire hatchet throwing act) acts done on each other. Warning: Watching video may bring risk of anxiety and heart attack. | |

In Sky Bandits, Major Bannock's squadron is based in a circus camp, with many of the performers still there. One of them is seen practicing his knife throwing while chopping up vegetables for dinner. | |

Bernard and the Genie: ccording to the opening (subtitled) dialogue, Josephus attempted this trick for the first time, only for it to go horribly wrong. The man who curses him to eternity in the lamp is the unfortunate Lovely Assistant's (understandably very pissed-off) father — who, it turns out, is a sorcerer. | |

The Batman has something along those lines, where Batman is captured and the villain proves to be an amazing knife thrower, first intentionally missing the pinned Batman in the typical circus act manner before going for a killing shot. | |

This happened at least once on the Johnny Carson incarnation of The Tonight Show. Carson was strapped to the target. One of the biggest laughs Carson ever got was when Ed Ames did an axe-throwing demonstration (on an outline target) and didn't quite hit where he should've. See why. | |

Early on in Trapped in the Circus of Fear, partaking in a knife-throwing act is one of your first tasks. Do NOT accept it - the thrower, Morton, will miss the board, and the last thing you see (as you succumb to a knife in the chest) is the circus' ringmistress telling Morton, "You missed! You're fired." | |

Nightmare Circus: After defeating the bosses of the big top stage (two serrated-fan wielding goons), Raven can choose one of two stages. The "Maggot-Men Act" begins with him tied to a wooden board and knifes being thrown at him. To escape the trap, the player must rotate the board so that the knifes strike Raven's knots and release him. | |

Alex Rider: Mr. Grin in Stormbreaker used to be part of a knife-throwing act in which he would catch a knife between his teeth during the act's finale. As a result of the act going horribly wrong, he now sports a Glasgow Grin and has difficulty speaking properly. | |

A knife-throwing act featured in the Cold Case episode "Metamorphosis" which centred around a murder at a circus. The knife-thrower was the chief suspect for a while. | |
