The Las Vegas Sun brings word that Criss Angel’s suspension record was snapped by Matt Zane this weekend.
You can read the gory details at the Las Vegas Sun’s web site here.
Significantly, Mr. Zane decided to use less hooks than Criss Angel and hang longer.
When the four polished hooks pierce the skin of Matt Zane?s back,
down through the epidural layers and then back out, there?s no blood.No blood and not much of anything. Zane just twitches a couple of fingers on his right hand.
The crowd doesn?t do so well. ?Oh (bad word). They just put a (really bad word) fishhook in his back.?
That isn?t even the worst part.
The hooks are connected by a rope to a bar that is connected to a
pulley. Zane starts walking forward and backward, stretching the skin
around the hooks, until he?s on his tiptoes. Then he is hoisted 2 feet
off the ground. He dangles.
Mr. Zane wanted to use fewer hooks and withstand the pain longer than Mr. Angel’s five-hour, 42-minute endurance stunt.
You would think fewer hooks would bring about less pain — after all, less hooks, less quarter-inch holes sliced into your body. But according to the experts in body suspension, the more hooks one uses, the less the pain during the hang-time.
Criss Angel set the record for MindFreak. Mr. Zane did it for a new porno film.
Mr. Zane is apparently an adult movie performer and was exhibiting
his wares at the Adult Entertainment Exposition in Las Vegas.
The Sun quotes one passer-by attending the porn convention:
"That is disgusting, That?s just . . . there’s something so wrong about that. How could he do that?"
Remember the passer-by is checking out the broad spectrum of adult media being debuted.
