Hi Steve,
Being so new here I can't really say "Welcome Back", but it's a pleasure to meet you again what ever the circumstances. I can say this, because we have "met" once before. Here's a blast from your past. See if this rings any bells (although I doubt it will)... During the DC Live Wednesdays, on the day you were scheduled to accept a challenge from a local LA performer (who challenged you with hand made stocks, that you slipped out of by removing your cowboy boots), you received a back stage phone call just minutes before taking the stage for this challenge. That was me. Of course it would be cool if you could actually remember the call as I do, but at 42 years old my ego doesn't require the attention of the 15 year old boy that called you that day. So not remembering is okay, too. But it would be interesting all the same. What's just as interesting to me however, is that we are both still escaping after all these years. That's cool! http://www.freewebs.com/magicchance http://www.magicchance.blogspot.com Stop by and view the pics here and there, and see what you helped to inspire... All the best, Chance (American now living in Vienna, Austria) |

Chance,
What a great name for an escape artist! I recievd many calls and letters from fans during the my Dick Clark dates, to remember one in particular,at my age would be somthing for the"Penny for Thoughts" page! The fact you named the challenge show helps,as I do recall getting a phone call that was put through to my dressing room, just before showtime from an excited young man, who was surprised he reached me, full of questions,wanted autographed picture,and all of his questions answered,now that he had me on the phone. We talked some,then I had to get ready for the show! Could that been you? MAYBE? If so ,I'm glad you got something from our short conversation! May You Always Escape, Steve Baker,MR. ESCApe |

Who can say for sure? But what I do remember is being offered a moment of your time just before taking the stage for a live televised broadcast. Yes, that was quite a surprise to an Indiana farm boy! Back then, it was TV making the world such a small place. Now, it's the internet.
But so long as we're on the subject, can you remember the name of the guy with the challenge stocks on that show? Do you still have the stocks? What about other challenge materials -- do you have a special corner in the basement piled high with these pieces? |

Chance,
Steve's DVD has the video of the Challenge Stocks on Dick Clark Live. I don't remember seeing it when it aired orignally, but being able to watch the DVD footage was very cool. Carnegie |

Chance,
I completed and won 134 challengs before my forced retirement in 1991! My challenge was $1000.00 to any one who could tie,chain,or bind me so I couldn't escape! If I lost,you got $1000.00,if you lost I got the item used in the challenge!Out of the 134 tries, I took 72 different items that were unique, which were stored. Some were used as props in my live show! The DC show in question is on my DVD,and VHS,sold on my web site"MrESCAPE.com I belive his first name was Jay,I don't remember his last name offhand,but it's on the video! Hope that answers your questions!! Steve Baker |
