The effect is similar in some ways

The effect is similar in some ways to the illusion Impaled, although Drill of Death is larger and features additional elements. It can be presented either as a straightforward penetration illusion or as an "escape gone wrong" piece, in which the audience are first given the impression it is an escapology act of the "predicament escape" type and then given the shock of seeing it appear to go wrong with apparently fatal consequences for the performer.

The apparatus consists of a massive drilling machine mounted on a framework that is a little like a short section of railroad track. At one end of the track, nearest the audience, is a raised frame large enough to hold a person. At the beginning of the performance the drill is positioned at the far end of the track with its long helical drill bit pointing horizontally forwards. The performer is chained to the frame with her torso in line with the drilling axis. A cover, consisting of translucent paper stretched on a circular frame, is attached to the apparatus in front of the performer, obscuring the centre of her torso. The machine is then started: the drill bit rotates and the machine begins advancing slowly towards the performer. Then the device appears to go out of control and speed up (sometimes with pyrotechnics for added drama). The drill appears to penetrate through the struggling performer, whose legs, shoulders, arms and head remain in full view and whose lower torso is seen in silhouette through the translucent cover. The tip of the drill emerges and rips through the cover, at which point both the forward motion and rotation of the drill bit stop. The cover is removed to show the limp body of the performer seemingly impaled on the end of the drill. The machine then begins to tilt the drilling axis upwards, in the process pulling the performer from her restraints and raising her high into the air. When the drill's axis is vertical the bit begins to rotate again, spinning the performer's limply spreadeagled body around. The drill then stops and lowers the performer back onto the frame, where assistants cover her torso with a blanket and seemingly push the drill back out of her. The performer then appears to revive and steps from the apparatus to take a bow.

效果是在某些方面类似于 Impaled，幻觉，虽然死亡钻较大和具有额外的元素。可以提出直接渗透幻觉或作为"逃命走错了"的片，观众第一次给出的印象是一种分身术"困境逃生"类型的然后给出了看它似乎出错，显然致命后果为表演者的冲击。The apparatus consists of a massive drilling machine mounted on a framework that is a little like a short section of railroad track.

其效果类似于幻想的某些方面被钻，虽然死亡越来越具有额外的元素。可无论是作为一个简单的穿透幻象或作为“逃离了错”片，其中观众首先给人的印象是“困境逃生”类型的逃脱术并看到它的冲击出现明显的致命后果的表演者错误。该装置由一个安装在一个框架上的一个巨大的钻孔机器，这是一个小的铁路轨道的短段。在轨道的一端，最近的观众，是一个提出的框架足够大，以容纳一个人。在性能开始时，该钻头在轨道的远端，其长螺旋钻头指向水平方向向前。表演者用自己的躯干和钻轴连接在车架上。盖，由半透明的纸放在一个圆形的框架，附着在演奏者面前的仪器，遮蔽了她躯干的中心。机器接着开始：钻头旋转，机器开始慢慢向执行者前进。然后装置似乎失去控制，加快（有时为增加戏剧的烟火）。钻头穿透了挣扎的表演者，他的腿、肩膀、手臂和头部都保持着完整的视图，并且通过半透明的覆盖在轮廓上看到下躯干的轮廓。钻尖的出现和撕裂盖，此时的前进运动和旋转的钻头停止。取下盖子给瘫软的表演者看似钉在演习结束。然后机器开始向上倾斜，在这个过程中，从她的限制，并提高了她的高到空气中的表演的过程中。当钻头的轴线是垂直的点开始旋转起来，旋转的表演者的四肢无力四肢张开的身体。然后，演习停止，并降低了演员回到帧，助理盖她的躯干和毯子，看似从她的背后推钻。演员然后似乎恢复和从设备的步骤，以采取弓。
