Nose Surgery Procedure

Question:

What is the name of the book that teaches the nail in the nose stunt where you hammer a nail into your nose.
 

Answer:

The line from "Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women" springs to mind: "The only secret is the nerve to try it". But since the back of the nose leads straight to the brain - ISTR that was the route Ancient Egyptian mummifers used to get the brains out - it's not a thing I'd care to risk. Get an infected scratch back there, such as from a snotty old nail, and you're asking for meningitis.

I found this trick in a very, very old book on magic, carnival acts, etc. Believe it or not this is not a trick, its for real. I won't discuss the method here because too any kids read these posts. A small surgical procedure is involved.
