One of my great idols is Melvin Burkhardt, the man that Ripley’s Believe it or Not dubbed “The Human Blockhead”. This classic sideshow stunt was made famous by Melvin through out his life working the midway.

This video of Melvin perform the blockhead in his 80’s is fantastic. He really pounds that nail in there.
