Gatley escape artist David Straightjacket (Yes that is his real name) , 31, is planning to escape from one straitjacket, a second on stilts, a third wearing police handcuffs, and finally lying on a bed of nails whilst having concrete blocks smashed on his chest.

The former juggler and acrobat is attempting the four death defying feats in the hope of raising a massive £10,000 for Tsunami relief fund organised by the Disasters Emergency Committee.

The extravaganza will take place at the Arndale Centre, Manchester at 11am on Saturday, January 8th. If you want to donate to the Tsunami relief fund or sponsor David, visit www.thebigrecord.com
