Strait-Jacket escape for 200-300 people in nashville
Well, Friday night-Saturday evening I went to ATF (Acquire the fire)
And it was fun, I went with my old youth group, and because we were all sleep deprived, I hypnotized everyone there. It was fun, on the brakes at the ATF I even hypnotized random people, and showed alot of magic, and got alot of good reactions.
Then Sunday night me and some friends drove to nashville to go to the Winter Jam 2009, and we were waiting in line, there was like 200-300 people there.
And I thought I was going home after, so I had my strait jacket, chains, locks, shackles, handcuffs with me, and Rachel was like "Hey you got your strait jacket?" So I was like "Yeah' then I opened my bag, got everything I needed out, and nick was the perfect assistant.
He had all my stuff ready for my, while I preped the crowd and all that.
(Thanks nick! Oh nick oh nick, if only you were a chick)
I had some dudes who were half watching half not put it on for me (This gets them interested).
It was time for the crotch strap, I sung it back and fourth and said "Ohh you have done this before" everyone laughed it was awesome.
So I was ready, then nick, and KC put my in the chains (How ever they wanted)
I keep walking around, kinda like not wanting the chains on, I made it hard for them (Sorry guys). It was on, I had someone get a watch out, (Thanks so much for timing my Hannah!)
And I counted out very loud I said "On there! Time ME!" lol I said "1.. 2.. 3..!" I started, I struggled, I knew it was going to be an easy escape, but I put alot of showman ship into it. I was out, in a time of I think 60 seconds.
(Only Hannah will know for sure lol)
Everyone called, it was loud and awesome!
I was not nervous or anything. (Nick had already put everything away for me while I was signing cards! Thanks so much nick!)
Then, we went inside, sat down watched teh concert for a little bit, then nick wanted a cig, so we went to go to the smoking area, the security guard there was cool, he asked nick for an ID (I dint smoke)
But he was messing around, he always liked to play jokes on people who went in and out.
(now here comes the awesomeness)
There was a goth dude, and I dont know how we started talking, but he said "Hey, show me something amazing" So I looked at nick and said "Do it?" he said "do it!" so I pulled it out, the security guard said he couldn't let me do it, so he said "Show us something with cards" (I am about to the the strait jacket escape again but on the sidewalk)
I showed them a visual card through window.
(This trick takes balls, but I was pumped from the previous escape)
The goth dude picked a card, put it in the deck, and shuffles the deck.
I then had him spread and hold the cards on the door of a clear glass window. I go on the other side, and show my hands empty, then I pulled his card through the glass! He droped teh cards to the ground and backed away and was just staring at the card through the glass on the other side (An amazing reaction).
He freaked, so did everyone else.
(Before I did this, I told them my life story, about a girl, a year book, she signed it "Your Weird" and from that moment I knew I would entertain people for the rest of my life ect blah blah.
So then I did the escape.
I gave it to the goth guy, and he inspected it, and said "This shit is regulation! Hes not getting out of this!"
So he put me in it, and chained me up. It was tight the chains were tight.
The black lady was recording me with her phone, she said "Dont put the chains around his neck! I said "Its fine, put it around my neck"
So they did, before I started, I talked patter about Houdini, ect. then I started on three like I did before.
1...2...3..
(This was really hard to get out, because they warped the chains around my arms in the back lol)
I still got out in 43 seconds, and everyone clapped. The security guards were watching from the place they were suppose to be. and they clapped, I gave out my business cards, signed a bunch of cards, and gave the goth guy the deck of cards I used in the card through window (The trick was called Kaos if there are any magicians here)
They tried to give me money, one dude gave my a cigg lol.
I then went inside, and there were some girls taking pictures of them selfs, and I looked at them in a weird flirty look, and they laughed, so I went over there did a sandwich trick, they liked it, gave them a signed card, took a picture with them, then they wanted me to show there friends so I did.
It was fun
