It was a daring escape over the Swift Current Mall parking lot yesterday.

     Dozens of spectators watched in awe as local illusionist and escape artist Nick Brice got out of a straight jacket while hanging 60 feet in the air.

     After the stunt, Brice said it was a very freaky experience, and he felt really good when he got back on solid ground.

     There may be an encore soon, as he says he has something big planned for next year at this time, but won't go into any details.

     It took Brice about four minutes to fully remove the straight jacket while he was in the air.
