Princess Tenko Seriously Injured in Magic Trick Gone Wrong

Posted by Bill on October 9th, 2008 in Japan | Comments Off

Japanese magician, Princess Tenko, has been seriously injured a magic trick that went wrong.

Instead of escaping from a box the moment 10 fake swords were speared, she found herself pinned inside. Yikes!

She broke several ribs and her right cheek and also just missed by a centimeter from losing her righ eye.

And…she continued the performance for 30 minutes before calling of the show because of ‘tremendous pain.’

Let’s see…stuck inside a box…and then stuck with 10 fake swords (they hurt more going in because they aren’t so sharp) and the princess kept on going.

And how in the world did she survive inside the box with the ten swords in it?

Her main concernt – “She had to call

of the performance.”

Reminds me of Hideki Matsui apologizing to Joe Torre and the Yankees after he broke his hand because he couldn’t play anymore.

Are there any workers more loyal to their profession than the Japanese are?
