I didn't write that title but if you go to the CBS TV website and look for the video with that title, you will see coverage of my attempt to beat Stuart Burrel's Guinness World Record.
http://cbs2.com/entertainment Thanks Stuart for all your encouragement and help with this attempt! How did it turn out? Well, you'll have to watch the video clip. |

Congratulations Joe!
I will not even try to compete with you at the convention. You will just embarass me.

Well done Joe, the better man won.
Wolflock, is that open to anyone? Guinness did not play ball with that record when I asked a few years back and RHR are not interested but I am game a laugh. Now if I can just get back into training for the 24 Hour long Handcuff escape record....but that is for another thread at another time and not for here and not now. Joe you are the best. Congratulations. |

Hi Guys,
Thank you for your kind words. Stuart, you set a hard record to beat! That was one of the hardest things I've ever attempted. My hands and wrists are still very tender and sore. Instead of a 24 hour record, how about a 30 minute record? Might make for a good contest at the next escape artist convention. Cable Ties?! Not this year Wolflock. I bow to your excellent skills there. Maybe that's something for me to try at a future birthday, way future! Mark- I won't try to compete with you on lock picking. I watched how fast and skilled you were last year. I really respect that and would love to be half as skilled at it as you are. Thanks my friend. Thank you all! |

Hell Yes that would be open to anyone Stuart. All Fingers and Wrists though.
No Shimming or opening the cable ties allowed. It would be great to have a challenge for a change. I have NO ONE to compete with here so can never really push myself further. Regards Wolflock

Looks like the link in my first post doesn't work now so here's a link that takes you directly to the CBS video coverage. . . just in case you missed it. http://cbs2.com/video/?id=38138@kcbs.dayport.com Okay, now let's get back to competition and having fun! |

Thanks Wolflock. No need to vocalize them as I knew you were wishing me well in my spirit. And don't be so modest. There's no reason why you couldn't attempt and beat that record. And there's no way I'd even attempt to beat you in a cable tie contest! You would win that without question!
Thanks again my friend. Looking forward to meeting you at Cannon's Convention this year. Joe |

Modesty on your side too.
I don't think I will be the fastest with anything. I just like to escape and Am thrilled to the teeth when I get out. AS long as I can get out, no matter how long it takes me, I am happy. So far, so good. I will leave the Speeding fines to the masters. I will be sorting out flights and such in due time. Thank you for your offer and help for the convention Joe. I owe you BIG TIME. I will personally bring you a gift from South Africa which money cant buy just to say thank you. I will be able to catch a flight to LA. How far is the convention from there? If anyone is going to the convention from LA that can give me a lift, I would HIGHLY Appreciate it. Joe? Are you a member of the Castle? If so, Any Chance of visiting as your guest? I will even perform some magic for you, LOL. Regards Wolflock

Thanks Clyde.
Thanks Clyde. Wolflock, I'll PM you about directions to the convention. Yes, I'm a member of the AMA (commonly called The Magic Castle). I'd be happy to take as many as would like to go there some evening. Their dress code is strict though, coats and ties, no jeans, no sneakers, no mimes. Okay only kidding about the sneakers............ if you can pack the additional clothes, that would be fun. Let's plan on it. |

Joe, if there is room, count me in on that one. I love the castle.
Wolfie, if you are flying in Friday (as opposed to thursday) you will have a lift from me. With traffic it can be as much as a two hour trip. Without traffic it is about 40 minutes. Last year I gave andrew and Lars a ride from LAX. Andrew said taking a taxi would have cost close to $100.
Magic is like Science,
Both are fun if you do it right! |

That would be great. Many thanks. We will see closer to the time what would be the best option and easiest for everyone.

Oh brother. Apparently there is a mistake in the actual count. Someone told me that they believed the count was incorrect so I went through the footage myself.
Twice I watched the actual footage and counted each escape for myself. Both times I came up with the same number, a number which is NOT 411. My apologies to everyone here. My final handcuff escape count is not 411 as previously stated. The actual count is 414. Naturally, Guinness themselves will view the tape and count for themselves to determine the actual official number. I apologize if this has caused anyone any inconvenience. Joe |

Oh ***. No I will have to start my practices over again to beat the new number.
