According to a source who attended this weekend's 100th Annual Salute to Magic show in New York, Jonathan Pendragon unveiled a "stunning new illusion" in which his is bound in a straight jacket, hooded and then 'Water Boarded' while he attempts his escape." I guess it is only to be expected that we'll see some such techniques which have been recently discussed in the news work their way into stage acts, but it is my understanding that the concept was a bit controversial among the audience in attendance. According to Sal Perotta, other surprises in the show included a live satellite feed from David Copperfield who delayed the opening of his Salt Lake City show to participate in the intro of the show, a film from Penn & Teller and a film from Lance Burton. Unfortunately, Scott Interante was unable to perform as scheduled due to an injury that occured when he was loading the water torture cell for the trip to NYC. Stay tuned for more as we'll have a detailed summary of the event online very soon.
