Trapped In A Straight Jacket!! Or Is He....???

World Class Illusionist David DaVinci was strapped into a straight jacket over 200 times! To be exact, he was locked in a straight jacket, and escaped each and every one, 220 times, making this amazing man the world's record holder for the most straight jacket escapes in 8 hrs! And he did it in 95 degree heat (Florida in August!) and 55% humidity!





Congratulations, David!!


Of course, this amazing feat of magical dexterity was not without danger. David suffered as he was rubbed raw, his skin was stripped from parts of his body and began to bleed as he struggled to escape those thick, rough, heavy straight jackets.


His lovely wife, Jamieleigh, stood by his side, repeatedly strapping him in, keeping perfect tally of each escape, and handing him drinks when needed. One of his managers, who's name I believe was Stephan, also helped strap him into those jackets, as well as bringing him water and replenishing drinks. The Ormond Beach Fire and Rescue were there as well, keeping a watchful eye as David started to suffer from heat exhaustion and nearly passed out!


Mayor Fred Costello came to the event and placed the final straight jacket on David at around 5PM, after 8 hrs, and then officially congratulated David on his New World Record Title.


The paparazzi were out in full force, too!

Interesting Sights

Whilst (always wanted to use the word 'whilst') walking the backyard, I came upon a few interesting sights. Too many to post really, but here are a few...

A nifty nest, probably built by Carolina wrens, tucked into a flowerpot....


Can you see it....?


A butterfly fluttered by and landed on a flower....

Why aren't they called 'flutterby's'?



A panther lounging on on a jungle path....

(Actually, she posed for the picture!)



Thanks for stopping by...
Peace, love and light,

Fishy Fotos

Archangel feeding the fish... one of which is a miracle fish (check previous blogs for that one). You can see how they come runni- uh, swimming to him.


Seriously, he just taps the water and they try to climb his arm and kiss him.






And who is silently watching this whole fishy scenario.....?
