Criss must be cross about that. 2. When he collapsed, did he become a fallen angel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, what nobody has to the best of my knowledge is a list of those prone to relaxing in such a way and the statistical chances that each relaxation might become permanent. Anyone know different?

In our house, the 'strangle-wank' is a frequently discussed phenomenon, not least because the son of my dad's best friend dispatched himself in such a fashion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,434 Posted March 12, 2017 Watching that Top 100 Magic Tricks thing on Five the other week (if you missed it, its Five, it'll be on again ten more times before Easter, no doubt) did notice a bunch of the late magicians on it seemed to go in their 50s/60s. Hmm, Penn and Teller are in their 60s. Mind you, that Mark Wilson is still going aged 88. As is his wife/stage partner Nani Darnell who is around the same age. Both should obit when they go. The Mail'll see to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 17, 2019 An Indian magician, who attempted to recreate Harry Houdini's famed trick by jumping shackled into a river, is feared dead. Chanchal Lahiri was meant to escape and swim to safety but did not emerge from the Hooghly river in West Bengal state. Spectators who had gathered to watch him take the plunge on Sunday informed the police, who say they are searching for him. SC the audience cheers] Bugs Bunny : [starts clapping] That's terrific, Daffy! They loved it. They want more. Daffy Duck : [as a ghost rising to heaven] I know, I know, but I can only do it once. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
