Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Thrillusionist Attempts aStraitjacket Escape From Hot Air Balloon! Amazing Escape is Part of the Kick-Off Event that Celebrates the North American Debut of ZING ZANG ZOOM, Gold Edition! January 15, 2011 - Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® presents a never-seen-before high-flying feat of bravery and escape-artist expertise! Thrillusionist David DaVinci, host of the all-new ZING ZANG ZOOM, Gold Edition, who set a world-record in 2007 with an underwater free-diving card trick, now takes his skills to the air. DaVinci, a true modern Houdini, will attempt to free himself from a straitjacket while perilously suspended from his ankles, upside expertise down, from a hot-air balloon, more than three stories in the air! This amazing stunt takes place at Forsyth Park, in Savannah GA, on January 19, at 7.20 am, 2011. Inclement weather date is January 20, 7.20 am, 2011.

"I love the challenge of trying to escape a straitjacket. My personal best is over 220 escapes in just under eight hours. But that was different, I was right-side up, and didn't have to worry about any other variables," said David DaVinci. "I've never attempted an escape from a hot air balloon, there's going to be a lot of uncertainties here, especially the wind, I know this will test my skills and abilities," DaVinci added.
