"What goes up," as they say.

I'm curious as to the descent.

Maybe he'll drop on a 20-ft cable (still one of the coolest things I've seen that I think I remember Ian designing for someone).

Hi Jay,
I admit you're the best dolly repairer out there and, although you can talk the ear of a dead horse, I miss you and wish I was going to the convention.

Doc, don't know that I have ever designed the cabling section for a drop.

Ian

I....me....I can talk the the ear off a dead horse...THEN it's a good thing this isn't a live talk forum.

Ian,

I was thinking of the stocks you built for Robert Gallup. Amazing.

Doc,

If you want to see the action first hand, I believe I can work it out so you can stand under the safe during the escape, but you have to sign a release form.

Hey... If an escape artist does not sign a release form, can he still escape?

Jay,

I'll sign all the releases you got.

Also, if you need me to hold a camera every once in a while, just let me know. I'm always happy to help the convention in any way.

Thank you very much, Doc.

Ian, do you think we can open a side business repairing dollies? And are you coming to the '08 convention?

Hi, Doc, the real secret to Robert Gallup's escape that you talk about is the rigging. That isn't my area, and very well-trained personal are needed for that.

Jay, if I advertise "dolly" repairs, I would get laughed at here (more than when people saw the photos of the gold shorts). Dollies out here are toys girls (and some boys) play with. They're called trolleys out here, and the expertise to repair such a thing is outside of my sphere of intelligence.

On a serious side, I will miss seeing Mark Cannon's safe escape. It looks spectacular.
Ian

You will see it.........on DVD.

Jay, as Doc is willing to sign the release AND hold a camera.....why not get him one with a transmitter on it? That way, when the safe lands (squashing him and the camera), you won't need to recover the tape/CD!

Nice of you to volunteer, Doc! Can't wait to see the safe come crashing down...... Oh, bummer, I just realised I am mixing up the safe escape with the one the Australian geezer is doing (the one where the vat is pulled out with a tight rope)... Maybe Doc could volunteer for that, as well?

Hi Jay,
I hope your DVD is as good as the one for the last convention. That was great.

Ian

Uh-Oh.... Now I have standards to live up to.

I know this is going back a few years now, but does anyone have any video of Mark doing this at the convention?

It's on the 09 DVD.

Are the convention DVDs still available Jay?

If so, from where mate?
