This news just in! Three images of me swallowing swords will be appearing in a documentary film on the life of Harry Houdini, to be aired in the spring of 2003 on the Discovery Channel, followed by release on the international networks, DVD and video. Confirmed air dates will be listed here once I receive them.
I have been photographed before, sketched before, and even painted in oil and acrylics on numerous occasions. But not until today have I had the curious distinction of serving as a hand model. A hand model for what you may ask? A hand model for a sideshow banner featuring “The Alligator Man”. That’s right. The newest sideshow banner by banner artist Toni-Lee Sangastiano features the hands of moi. I wonder if anyone will recognize them…
Steve Taubman and myself will be previewing several portions of our full-length mentalism show during a hypnosis show on December 7th in Holderness, New Hampshire.
Television viewers in New England can catch me on this evenings edition of Chronicle. After 3 hours of interview (which really was quite fun), they managed to boil it down to one third of a half hour show.
Amazing what editors can do…
Just confirmed, I will be the featured performer at the 75th Anniversary Winter Ball of the Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester, MA on March 1, 2003.
The Higgins Armory Museum, with 8,000 objects on 5 floors, is the only institution in the Americas dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition, and interpretation of arms and armor. Visit them at http://www.higgins.org
For those of you overseas who didn’t get a chance to see the photographs of me in Maxim Magazine, good news! I was just contacted by the Maxim UK office seeking permission to use the same photographs in an upcoming issue of the UK edition. I’ll be certain to make an announcement here when I learn which month it will appear in.
Look for me performing feats of mind reading and metal bending along with a bit of sword swallowing (sorry, I won’t bend my swords) at the Phoenix Roost Tavern’s Yule Feast on December 21st in Belmont, NH.
