Longest mid-air suspension-world record set by Dixie Dooley
[July
2] Los Angeles, California -- Master Mystifier Dixie Dooley, currently
appearing at the Westin Casaurina in Las Vegas, took his act to
the street and set a world record for suspending a young woman in
mid-air for an hour!
“This illusion is performed in its most raw form,” said Dooley,
“No lighting tricks, no flashy stage props! I perform this magic
right out in the street, under the stark light of the Las Vegas
sun, right there for everyone to see! The Westin is the home of
my ‘Master Mystifier’ show, and their cooperation in presenting
this world record fund-raiser was absolutely invaluable! It’s a
beautiful resort with an incredible staff, no question about it!”

The unique illusion, staged raw on the sidewalk
in front of the popular resort destination as a cooperative effort
to help raise funds for Speedway Childrens Charity, was covered
exclusively by SpellCasters Showcase, www.spellcasters.com, the
premiere third screen VoD network, and video
of the event is available to the general public from the SpellCasters
website.
“Dixie is terrific magician,” says SpellCasters
Executive Producer and President M. “Hep” Sylvanus, “And his use
of the SpellCasters platform to reach out to new audience shows
a real understanding of what the new media revolution is all about.”
“I want to bring my magic to the people,” says master
magician Dooley, “And the net is where they’re at! We can use the
new technology to both reach more audience and do some good in the
world at the same time!” “We were happy to help when Dixie proposed
this project,” says Sylvanus,
“Raising money for charitable causes through
the third screen is visionary, and SpellCasters has led the way
with programs like this.” “SpellCasters Showcase is, in fact, well
known for our “Shout Out” project, where over a thousand video greetings
from troops in the Persian Gulf were made available for free mobile
download to military families for Mother’s Day 2006.”
SpellCasters has agreed to donate 30% of each
VoD purchase of Dooley’s ‘World
Record Magic’ to Speedway, funds which will be used to provide
toys, clothing and other necessities to underprivileged children.
