Plastic wrap is some serious stuff… you might only know it as a convenient way to cover that bowl of left overs, but it is also used to secure pallets of goods for shipping. It can be very, very strong and, worse yet, it is air tight (which is why it is so good in the kitchen). Vancouver’s Damien Carriere posted this clip featuring an escape he managed from industrial strength plastic wrap while suspended upside down!
This is kind of a strange video from escape artist Christian Wedoy. He shows what happens when an untrained young lady tries her hand at one of his escapes to illustrate how difficult (and dangerous) escape acts are in real life. This is an interesting attempt to educate his potential audience, but we can also see where it could turn off or upset that potential audience as well. What do y’all iTricksters think? And one more thing: do not try this at home… do not talk your girlfriend into trying this at home, either!
We are looking back at this season of America’s Got Talent with clips from this year’s magic acts. Lord Nil was this year’s lone escape specialist, bringing extra danger to his act has he progressed.
Wizard of Odd TV, a web series focusing on some of the world’s more unique performers, turned their attention to Rick Maisel, the only escape artist around who pits himself versus a full functioning front loading washing machine. He is, by the way, also a multiple world record holder and we think he currently has the highest upside down straightjacket escape record David DaVinci is planning to challenge soon.
Okay, here’s a fun little challenge to end the day. One, two, three… HOLD YOUR BREATH! Norway’s Christian Wedoy is going to hold his for almost eight minutes! How long can you last?
We’ve featured Christian in the past, but only holding his breath for a measly four minutes.
Scott Xavier posted this new video of his straight jacket escape while on a small floating platform in the middle of Paradise Lake at Idlewild, Michigan.
