When Steve Wyrick decides to go for a spin, he starts his engine. - then he steps through it!
In this case, it’s a 747 turbine jet engine that is another of Steve’s epic signature illusions in which he walks through it while the blades are spinning Mach 1 and emerges unscathed. This is the illusion that was the subject of an episode of Shipping Wars in which Steve put up the fully constructed illusions for bid on UShip.com, needing it to be driven across country from his secret warehouse in Las Vegas to the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City where he was performing. The trick was that it needed to be there in record time. Marc Springer of Snortn Boar Transport won the bid but it took a bit of magic on Wyrick’s part to win Springer’s unwavering support. Despite some obstacles, such as a low bridge, Marc got it there in time.
Upon the unloading of the truck, Steve decided that he not only wanted to test the engine but that he wanted to do the entire illusion. He had Springer lock him into a steel framework behind the massive turbine and then had him walk around and check everything out. Next, Springer placed a target over part of the front of the engine. He then stepped back a few feet and watched as Wyrick penetrated the spinning blades of the engine, which were going at Mach 1 speed. Steve Wyrick emerged without a scratch and Springer was rendered speechless.
