LAS VEGAS, Aug. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Creator of Beacher's Rockhouse Bar, Jeff Beacher, will attempt a world record fete that master magician David Blaine himself could not accomplish. Beacher will perform the "Heaviest Pig in a Blanket" stunt in front of tens of thousands of spectators during the Paris Hilton CD Release Street Festival on August 29th.
The heiress, along with other celebrity guests and tens of thousands of fans, will be on-hand to witness Beacher being wrapped in dough by little people, hoisted on a crane 10 stories high, and then dropped into a vat filled with ketchup, attempting to hold his breath for a record breaking 10 minutes. If he does not make the 10 minutes mark, Beacher will still consider the fete successful if he beats out the seven minute, eight second spot held by Blaine.
Beacher's idea for the stunt came earlier this year when he decided to put the skills he acquired as a youngster to promotional use. As a child Beacher's father may he rest in peace would throw quarters into the bottom of their pool and tell his young son that he could have all the quarters if he went underwater and picked them all up before coming up for air. Always one for a challenge, even as a child, Beacher obliged and the more quarters that were thrown in, the more in control of his breath Beacher became.
"I have been training for this my whole life; this fete will be a testament to my Mother and Father who will be looking at me from Heaven with a smile on their faces knowing that their boy is now the world record holder for holding ones breath. I had met Martin Stephanek the current World record holder at 8 minutes and 58 seconds in Greece at The Olympic Games in 2004 and he has been real supportive of my quest to break his record. I have been freediving for 15 years now and have been able to hold my breath for as long as 6 minutes. I believe that I will shatter this record."
Fans can gather at 9 p.m. on August 29th during the Paris Hilton CD Release Street Festival to witness the stunt. The street festival is being held in celebration of the release of Hilton's album, Paris, and will also commemorate the opening of Beacher's Rockhouse Bar -- the newest and most exciting addition to the Las Vegas Strip.
The festival gets underway at 7 p.m. and is free for the public to attend. It is being described as Beacher's Madhouse meets the San Geneiro Feast with a bunch of Food and Alcohol vendors, carnival games, entertainment and the world-record attempt by Beacher. At midnight the official after-party will be held at Las Vegas' most happening nightspot PURE Nightclub inside Caesar's Palace.
