Duct tape goes back in time!

mike2Periodically, I talk about our customers finding new uses for our products, and I always end the blog by asking you to let us know if you come across an interesting new use for something we sell. We get some great responses.

We’ll, now its my turn. Try and top this!

I took my daughter and her friends to the Carolina Renaissance Festival, near Charlotte, NC, on Saturday. Beautiful day. Huge Crowds. Great Event.

I’ve been a couple of times, and one of my favorite performers is Dextre Tripp. Dextre performs a really entertaining daredevil show and he is always coming up with something new. I’m not sure exactly what juggling chain saws has to do with the Renaissance, but histocial correctness is not what Dextre’s show is about.

Picture this. Dextre balanced at the top of teetering ladderdaredevil_3 (an major accomplishment in itself), in flames, with 200 exploding firecrackers duct taped to his chest.dare devil 1 This guy is on fire, his chest is exploding, and he never loses his balance. It was one of the most amazing feats I had ever seen, and it could have never been accomplished without duct tape.

For the grand finale, Dextre invites the audience to pelt him with water balloons to put out the flames while he is still balanced on the ladder.

Now that’s entertainment!

The Renaissance Festival runs through the end of November. If you live anywhere near Charlotte, its a great way to spend the day.
