Jonathan Kraft, former las Vegas illusionist and amateur tiger-messer-around-wither, recently performed his most spectacular illusion to date.

Appearing before a small private audience, the magician and his side kick - Bowie, an 11-year-old tiger - convincingly deceived the gathering into believing that the cat was viciously mauling Kraft in an attempt to end his life.

Onlookers rushed the illusionist to the hospital, but the trickster apparently wasn't quite finished. Jonathon - a brilliant master of his kraft - was even able to convince doctors that he had suffered "multiple wounds and two broken bones".

So convincing was the magician that doctors have even agreed to allow him to remain at the hospital for observation, presumably in hopes of learning the secrets to his enhancements.

As for the magicians assistant in the illusion, “Bowie is fine and resting in his habitat and we will not euthanize him because of the accident,” the sanctuary said, appearing to play along with the trick.

No word yet on how the illusion was accomplished, but obviously, a good magician never reveals his tricks.

Reminds me of the Chris Rock bit regarding Siegfried and Roy.

People say that tiger went crazy. No, that tiger went tiger

A few years ago in North Jersey, they found a dead hiker who had been mulled by a bear. When they went through his phone, they found that he had approched the bear in order to take photos. The photos continued all the way up until the bear was in his face. Another Darwin award winner.

Darwin award contenders.

People like Steve Irwin are plain nuts. Well Irwin was until the last wild animal he was annoying caused his death by giving him a, "Leave me the F' alone azzhole sting."

A Russian scientist and a Czechoslovakian scientist had spent their whole lives studying the majestic grizzly bear. Each year they petitioned their respective governments to allow them to go to Yellowstone to study these wondrous beasts.

Finally, their request was granted and they immediately flew to New York and then on west to Yellowstone. They reported to the local ranger station and were told that it was the grizzly mating season and it was much too dangerous to go out and study the animals.

They pleaded that this was their only chance. Finally the ranger relented. The Russian and the Czech were given cell phones and told to report in each and every day.

For several days they called in, and then nothing was heard from the two scientists. The rangers mounted a search party and found the scientists' camp completely ravaged. No sign of the missing men.

They then followed the trail of a male and a female bear. They found the female and decided they must kill the animal to find out if she had eaten the scientists because they feared an international incident.

They killed the female and cut open the bear's stomach... only to find the remains of the Russian.

One ranger turned to the other and said, "You know what this means, don't you?"

"Of course," the other ranger nodded. "The Czech is in the male."
