Failed and how, lets see him get crushed, later on this week, under 5 tonnes of concrete

Didn't they try the burial thing on Mythbusters and aborted it after the coffin started to collapse.

Yes they did. Its been tried a few times and the result is usually the same, the person stupid enough to try it dies or at least ends up hospitalized.

Sky 1 did a prog on magic tricks and this was 1 of them, except that the guy was actually buried in a field so no collapsing sides if it went wrong, which it did, the coffin imploded. It really was a race against time to pull him out alive, and they were using JCB's to dig him out!!

I'd say that he's distinguishing himself from regular escapologists by catering for that part of everyone's psyche that "just wonders what would happen if it went wrong" without actually wishing any harm on the poor chap.

The buried alive one will be interesting- a very dangerous stunt that has claimed the lives of people that have attempted it. It'll be hard for him to bodge this one and escape unscathed.

1) It's not live - it's pre-recorded. The audience was in there last week

2) There's no HUGE risk to human life. It's a stunt. Meant to deceive.
