How do I fake a pencil or some other object look like it's sticking out of my body?

I want it to look like someone stabbed a pencil through my head, but I can't figure out how to make it stick.

You can use skin color putty or something sticky. Sticking things on a hat works too. You are the 101 person to recieve a answer from me!

Will through your nose do?

(Just use smaller magnets than I did - that hurt!)

Do it like the "arrow thru the head" trick. Like Steve Martin used to do.   A wire goes over you head and is hidden by your hair or a hat.  Attach the end of the pencil to that and it'll look like the pencil is sticking in your head.
