Cool well done Dean!

Another easy escape,,,did this years ago for Arkels Brewery....

The secret is to drink the beer which keeps the level down below the mouth,,,subsequent result being you get so pi@@ed that you feel no pain as you chew your way through the metal barrel.

Hardest part is standing up at the end to take the applause.

Ken.

The thing is I know he’s not joking!

I have before and after pictures I will show you some time.

They had to pull him out of the arena with the shire horses afterwards!!

Ken, please don't give away the secrets to our art! You'll be saying we use plastic chains next!

Didn't a certain David do this once .... or put in a book at least?

Sshh...

Thanks for posting this link.

The beer escape got National media attention both the week before and the week after the escape. It was in every major Newspaper across Canada, and I did a allot of radio interviews in cities across the country and even CBC International. It was broadcast on several local and National News broadcast too.
I first preformed this escape in 1988 in Puerto Rico from a milk can for a big Beer Company. It is funny how something old can be new again...... I wish my body was new again !!!!!
I am currently performing a version of it here in China, but with water. The water here is scarier than the beer......Really.

You should try the water in Las Vegas.... (not joking, it tastes awful and the quality is supposed to be the third worst in the country.)

Congrats on a job well done Dean.

Don't try it with the water in New Jersey, you may end up with an extra appendage.

I had an uncle that drown in a beer vat. They had to rescue him 4 times before he died.

Rev Bill,

Ba dum bump. I thought the rim shot would make it funnier.

His bother fell into an eye glass lens machine. He made a SPECTACLE of himself. Ba dum bump.

Aaaah! One of those visionaries!
