You can catch a cold and you can catch a train. You can catch a ball and you can catch a dog. When you walk into a room you may catch someone's eye or at a restaurant you can order the catch of the day.
Now you can catch 33 - if you catch 1 thru 32. Keep in mind that this pursuit will eventually put you in a catch 22 situation!
It was a few years ago when I realized that there was pretty much a world championship for every activity that means anything to anyone. If you play rock, paper, scissors - there is a world championship. The same holds true for pig hollarin', paper airplane flying, chasing a rolling cheese down a hill, juggling, talking backwards, speed talking, speed walking, oyster shucking, and hotdog eating.
In fact, I would not be surprised if there was a world championship for listing world championships. So, just in case there is and you are planning to compete, make sure you include freehand circle drawing in your list.
Here is an illusion you don't have to be David Blayne, David Copperfield, or any other magician named David (for that matter) to be able to afford to do.
As for how to create this optical illusion yourself, you are on your own. I'm no illusionist - though I do think I could saw a woman in half if she were a mannequin.

From time to time there are people who just do stuff that is simply unbelievable not only from the stand point of what they did, but also in response to the question of why on earth they would do it. (In the beginning a few people thought exactly that way of my wife for marrying me. Today that number has increased.)
Anyway, it's not like she did something totally crazy like Les Stewart. Les manually typed out each number between one and a million on a typewriter. I don't know what brand of typewriter he used, but as you can read below he wore out 7 of them.
I wonder if he ever tried to get a corporate sponsor. He seems like just the guy that Smith-Corona, IBM, or Toshiba would give a Porche to drive around when he went out for a new ribbon.
One of the things I admire most about mankind is our ability to come up with creative ways to die while having an adrenalin rush.
Take me for example. Though I did not die doing it, I did try to drive up a real snowy hill today just to see if my car would make it. When it started to slide down backwards I remembered the sinking feeling I had during the last snow storm when I ripped the mirror off of the passenger side door trying to do the same thing on my friend's steep driveway.
But like I said, I didn't die trying. I mean, it's not like I strapped wings and 4 jet engines to my arms and jumped out of an airplane. OK, that guy didn't die either, but I think that is more likely to get him before snowy hills do me.
Well, if you liked the jet powered bicycle, I think you will enjoy Jet Man.
