In February (1999) Lance Burton the famous magician performed another life threatening feat at Buffalo Bill's Resort. Chained to the track of the Desperado Lance only had two-minutes to open the locks on the chains holding him to the track. His escape was so close that the first car almost took his foot off as he jumped from the track to an escape board. After he landed on the board he said "that was crazy."
