Dave, David Deval was tall, I think over 6 foot. maybe more. He could fold like a pocket knife.

All comedians should have fuzzy moustaches and eyebrows, smoke cigars, wear swallowtail coats, and walk bent over.

Thanks Steve, I never knew that was there. Best 8 minutes in along time. [ I normally get twice as much pleasure in that length of time.]
I thought the second one was appropriate here for some occasions.

Deval was a giant alright and yes he didn't look quite right but managed to get away with it. Hell could this guy drink though,,,happy days (From what I can remember of them!!).
David was one of the nice guys into escapes and too free with his help which some abused. Ken |

Interesting point Strangelittleman,
having first seen Consentino when he was 12 or 13, I was not sure that his now popular image was the way to go, but it obviously set him apart from the rest in a marketing context at least. His Ch7 TV show ratings also reflect this. Audiences expectations differ from generation to generation I guess. |

My wife wishes I had Paul Consentino's body. I think his personality over rides his look at a glace but then I think my age group is certainly not his market. Welcome to the new world......

"So by all accounts David DeVal was just an inch or two taller than me then."
Then in that case I must be one of the biggest Im 6F 6I.
Impossible is just another level of difficulty

Escape artists can come in all shapes and sizes. Some are sex symbols. Some are tough. Some are fit, some are strong. It's best to be in one of those categories. I barely fit in the strong category.

From the Calif branch comes the news that the Beckhams are departing (Proberly for Ians neck of the woods) There will be a press con tomorrow regards this. Also Paddy Locks run which has been rebooked for 2013 has been extended by an extra 15 gigs (His Bank Manager is happy !!). The LA top listings will be available also tomorrow where over half are expected to be UK entertainers or UK based, One Direction under the same Management as Paddy seem to have the say over there and according to Parnell openings for good escapologists are available.
While over here Ros is doing a remarkable stunt (Cant say too much more yet) It involves loads of little peeps, is Xmas related and if he manages to escape should emerge late on Xmas Eve !!!! BTW Ros`s Image is very much related to this escape. Ken |

Image is a wonderful thing but it takes living up to.
Bobby Roberts the finest Elephant Trainer I know and respected by all is in trouble with three counts in Court for animal cruelty !!! Image vanished !! A lifetime of work destroyed in a day. Today. |

It's not just Bobby's image that's affected, this will scar the already fragile image of traditional circus forever.
What people should remember is that although the animal in question was ultimately under his care, the trainer that dished out the beatings has not (as far as I'm aware) been held accountable. But then, a nobody with nothing lose is hardly sporting prey. From what I've been told he scarpered back to Romania. No ban. No fine. No time inside. So this doesn't have to spell the end. I guess we'll see just how resilient his image really is over time.

Yes your right the perpertrator was an employee (Suggested put in by the Anti`s but not confirmed). As the last of the great English Trainers Bobby made the same mistake as Chipperfield and left staff unattended.
With the no ban / no fine situation the Anti`s are really rocking and rolling,,trouble is the two minets of video shown on the box is all the general public needed to make a judgement which will be lasting. |

Twenty years ago while working for Chipperfields, I was told
in no uncertain terms that the game was up for traditional circus with animals, in the UK. I made my choices and was very sorry to have to leave the UK as I had a lot of friends there. The politicians have kept this issue on the backburner until such time as they needed a diversion for the public from the real problems of the day. This is very obvious when the CPS are allowed to comment against a judges findings. As for the ADI and their like, they are parasites feeding on the hard work of every animal owner/trainer. The world is becoming a sad and scarey place. |
