"An event thought to feature knife-throwing at a town festival has been changed
after the mother of a stabbed girl complained.

The knife-throwing, which the council said would have been an illusion, was to
be held at an event in Walsall.

But Karen Ross, whose daughter was Rosie, 16, was stabbed to death in
Birmingham's Centenary Square in May 2001 said she was dismayed.

If her girl was stabbed to death as part of a knife throwing event I
could understand her outrage.

Well they said it would be an illusion.

Does anyone know whether knife-throwing (for entertainment I mean) is
ever done for real?

And what about sword swallowing?

"How they are done" programmes on TV always say these things are
simulated, but Not everything on TV is real (tm).
