From the Buffalo News:
Everyone thought Greg Frewin’s interest in magic was a whim when as a boy of 12 he wanted to become a magician. His inspiration, he explained, was David Copperfield.
“Everyone thought I was nuts,” Frewin said. “They kept thinking it would pass. I grew up watching David Copperfield on television. He made me keep pursuing my goal.”
For this spring, Frewin has created an illusion that will require some help from Niagara Parks and a flotilla of jet boats. Frewin’s planned escape from a frothy death chamber known as the Whirlpool at Niagara Falls will be taped for broadcast in summer across Canada, Frewin said.
“I’ll be lowered over the whirlpool, and if I don’t escape in a certain amount of time, I’ll be dropped in the whirlpool and I’ll have to get out,” he explained. “It’s going to be pretty cool.”
I’ve written quite a bit about Greg Frewin. You can find my other postings by searching the Niagara Falls Blog.
