Click here to order this Postcard
Danger, high risk and the imminent threat of death challenge the world's greatest magicians in "The World's Most Dangerous Magic II," an NBC one-hour special which has just completed production. Many magicians over the years have died performing the spectacular stunts that will be attempted in the special event which is a sequel to last year's special, "The World's Most Dangerous Magic."

Taped at various locations, the special will be highlighted by an incredible stunt, "Gator Bait" in which straitjacketed escape artist, Dean Gunnarson, hangs by his toes over a pit filled with hungry alligators. Hung by chains washed down with chicken blood and pieces of chicken meat, Gunnarson has to free himself before the leaping and snapping gators can eat him alive.
Dean Gunnarson is recognized as " The World's Greatest Escape Artist" for his legendary and death defying escapes. Last year, on the first " World's Most Dangerous Magic", Gunnarson hung over Hoover Dam in Las Vegas 726 feet in the air to make his escape. He has escaped from car crushers, shark cages, under water coffins and exploding bombs; but Dean said," nothing in my career could prepare me for the dangerous task of escaping form these alligators. It was truly defying death!"

RAT ATTACK - Margo, a beautiful magician, is locked in a wooden coffin with more than 100 hungry wharf rats. For some viewers, it will be their worst nightmare come true. How does she escape?

THE DEATH TURBINE - Illusionist Steve Wyrick attempts to visibly walk through the spinning blades of a 737 jet turbine. What prevents him from being sliced and diced?

THE HIDDEN COBRA - Three large clay jars contain harmless bunny rabbits, but a fourth contains a breed of cobra responsible for thousands of deaths each year. After a spectator mixes up the jars, Gary Kurtz puts his hand into the jars dictated by a spin of a bingo machine. What will Kurtz's encounter - a fuzzy bunny or the deadly cobra?

Illusionists Anthony Reed, Michael Grandinetti and Tony Clark also participate in the life-threatening stunts to be introduced by actor Steven Macht ("Ring of Passion," "The Choirboys," "A Mother's Deception").

"The World's Most Dangerous Magic" is a Gary L. Pudney Company presentation in association with NBC Studios for NBC Entertainment. Gary L. Pudney and Gary Ouellet are the executive producers. Greg Sills and Joe Briskin are the producers, Alan Carter is the director and Ouellet is the writer.
