Escapologist John Roberto braved his winds at Blackpool to herald a top magic convention - hanging in a straitjacket 75ft above the ground on a burning rope. John - who escaped in the nick of time - was one of several artists who gave an impromptu free show on Blackpol Promenade. John is pictured above with Derek Lever, president of Blackpool Magicians Club, and convention organiser Tom Owen Photo: National World
