One of the best in the field of humour, I can come up with suitable, hilarious repartee to any question on any topic at any point of time. The answers will be shorn of barbs and witty.

Burnt Alive is a daring act which is performed by very few illusionists successfully. I was chained and locked, handcuffed, put in a box, the box was again chained, lifted to a decent height and burnt. I escaped from the burning box. The slightest error would have been curtains to me. This was taken up for the cause of spreading AIDS awareness. The stunning performance was covered live by Suvarna Channel.
