Indian magician dodges truck while in a
coffin
Magician Anand Akash has performed a
death-defying stunt at Visakhapatnam in
India's southern Andhra Pradesh state.
In his aptly named 'Great Blast Escape'
Akash was first tied-up with iron
chains, and then made to enter a wooden
box. Then, the box was placed inside a
cubicle covered by a cloth and within a
couple of minutes, a truck driven at
high speed rammed the cubicle, But
before it caused the box to turn into a
smoke bomb, Anand Akash had emerged,
lying flat on his face on the side.
