The Fabulous Jo Jo's Halloween Houdini Cache! The Fabulous Jo Jo the Frog has chosen this spot to train for the infamous Houdini's second variation of Buried Alive! Buried Alive During his career, Houdini performed three variations on a "Buried Alive" stunt/escape. The first was near Santa Ana, California in 1917, and it almost cost Houdini his life. Houdini was buried, without a casket, in a pit of earth six feet deep. He became exhausted and panicky trying to dig his way to the surface and called for help. When his hand finally broke the surface, he fell unconscious and had to be pulled from the grave by his assistants. Houdini wrote in his diary that the escape was "very dangerous" and that "the weight of the earth is killing." Houdini's second variation on Buried Alive was an endurance test designed to expose mystical Egyptian performer, Rah man Bey, who claimed to use supernatural powers to remain in a sealed casket for an hour. Houdini bettered Bey on August 5, 1926, by remaining in a sealed casket submerged in the swimming pool of New York's Hotel Shelton for an hour and a half. Houdini claimed he did not use any trickery or supernatural powers to accomplish this feat, just controlled breathing. Houdini's final Buried Alive was an elaborate stage escape that was to feature in his full evening show. The stunt would see Houdini escape after being strapped in a strait-jacket, sealed in a casket, and then buried in large tank filled with sand. While there are posters advertising the escape (playing off the Bey challenge they boasted "Egyptian Fakirs Outdone!"), it's unclear whether Houdini ever performed the Buried Alive on stage. The stunt was to be the feature escape of his 1927 season, but Houdini died in October 1926. Interestingly, the bronze casket Houdini created for Buried Alive was used to transport Houdini's body from Detroit back to New York following his death on Halloween. Using “An Idiots Guide to Escapology” Jo Jo has acquired the meditative powers only equaled by David Blaine and of course Houdini himself. Jo Jo is happy to have a quiet interaction with passing cachers, as long as he's returned to his home afterward. Perhaps you could give him some fresh air and take a photo of him with your own camera. Please note that Jo Jo is to remain in the cache as removal would thwart his attempts to for fill his dream of auditioning in front of Simon Cowell and Pierce Morgan on the 2015 series of AGT. The cache is micro containing a log and of course Jo Jo all wrapped up nicely! Please make sure The Fabulous Jo Jo stays well hidden after you have met him. Note: Even though this cache was put out for the Halloween Holiday, it is available all year around. Enjoy the Cache! ** Congradulations FTF: ABNscot13 **
