In 2009, John Strong produced a live 10-in-1 sideshow on the grounds of the old Astroland site. This show featured glass walking, fire eating, escape and the Blockhead Extreme. Mystic Marlow, the Blockhead Extreme, would pound 80d nails right into the center of his skull and prove that the hands are faster than the eye when he demonstrated his sleight of hand magic. Krystine would lick a flaming torch like an ice cream cone with her split tongue. Pointy ears and all, she made a point to walk barefoot on broken glass. Madame Twisto twisted and contorted her body around 13 solid steel blades in the Egyptian Execution Chamber, Jack Waller’s personal blade box.
John Strong has been “with it” for more than 40 years.
