Leading magicians perform tricks and escape feats that threaten death or horrific injury should they fail. Robert Gallup escapes from a strait jacket while suspended from burning ropes and plays with scorpions and wolf traps. Melinda Saxe is tied and shackled in a pit into which snakes are released. Charlotte Pendragon has her husband Jonathan Pendragon balance her on a spike and later gets into a basket through which flaming spears are thrust. Mark Kalin tackles the "Table Of Death". Gary Kurtz plays Russian roulette with sharp knives and Dean Gunnarson does a strait jacket escape while suspended from the Hoover Dam.—mark_3302004
