Henri Darque – Magician
In Paris, France, magician Henri Darque managed to extricate himself from a pad-locked box... after three weeks! The illusionist had himself strapped inside a straitjacket and
locked in the container, as a large audience looked on. Darque was supposed to escape within five minutes, but he never emerged. He left strict orders with his assistant never to help him out of the box. So three weeks later, he climbed out of the box... the bored audience had left after the first night.

Unfortunately the distribution disk was infected by a new type of virus which could not be detected, nor could it be removed by the previous release of that anti virus software. An awkward call back action was necessary.
