"would have been stuck in her right eye if it were one centimetre higher"

Pop singer turned magician Princess Tenko has been seriously injured whilst performing her famous “Spike Illusion in the Face of Death” in Japan.

According to the BBC:

The illusionist was trapped in a box by ten metal swords during a show in the Japanese city of Sabae, breaking several ribs and her right cheek. One of the swords “would have been stuck in her right eye if it were one centimetre higher”, her manager Noboru Ochiai said. “It will take a month to heal the wounds,” he added.
