Chris Crudelli, the cultural explorer and martial artist from BBC TV’s ‘Mind, Body & Kick Ass Moves’, is appearing at The Pleasance, Islington on Sunday 22nd February 2009. Chris’s live show incorporates probably the most dangerous mouth agog live stunts ever performed on a UK stage, some of which were seen in his smash hit BBC TV series. Others are taken from his 2 decades of martial arts training – move over Derren Brown move over David Blaine – Crudelli is the real deal, so don’t try this at home! All this is combined with outrageous clips from the TV series, humorous back story anecdotes & amazing martial stunts, tricks & audience participation, followed by a 10 minute Q&A at the end of the evening. Crudelli’s second series Kick Ass Miracles is now broadcasting on cult hit Channel Dave. The stunts you will witness will be the most dangerous from the TV series plus others that were not allowed to be broadcast on the BBC. These include:
• Stopping his heart beats for 15 seconds with a ninja drug derived from the bark of 3 trees and a distilled poisonous berry, literally killing himself on stage. St John’s ambulance staff will be on stand-by to resuscitate Chris if his heart fails to restart.
• Smashing 4 baseball bats with a shin kick.
• Making randomly selected audience members fall over like a puppet on a string without touching them – using qi projection. www.unique-pr.co.uk
• Detecting lies 100% of the time correctly, using the sound of someone’s voice alone. Chris is that confidant in his abilities that he will put a nasty fat spike straight through his own palm if he does.
• Making an egg stronger than a concrete slab by projecting qi onto it, and then use this to break solid concrete slab.
• Using concentration and qi protection, Chris will chop himself with a sharpened meat clever with no ill effect.
• Chris will have a bag or blindfold put over his face and have a baseball bat swung full pelt at his head. Through intuition alone, he will avoid its impact. • Palm strike to flaming kerb stones x 3.
• Teaching any member of the audience to become 300% stronger with a simple kung fu concentration technique,
• Getting any member of the audience too smash a brick over their hand until it breaks (brick) with no pain whatsoever.
