01st Oct 2008 at Vizhinjam harbour,Thiruvananthpuram Kerala, most trilling stunt performed by Magician Anand’s team. Vizhinjam Harbour came alive with the noise and cheering sounds of the crowd present there. I was one of the spectators who droved all the way to watch Akash's show as I had already became his fan after watching his Fire Escape and Blindfolded motorbike ride stunt. Every body wascheering Akash who was going to perform his Underwater Escape show. UnderwaterEscape is one of stunts which is not attempted by any magicians. Many of them performer loses there life also. Akash is only one who attempted Underwater Escape not only one time but second time at harbour.

Vizhinjam Harbour is 20 Kms from the city. The show was scheduled for 11 am on 01st Oct 2008. Every body was amazing how he will perform this stunt but they are happy too.Various,media personnels, channels and newspapers were also present there.Many VIP guests like  Kovalam MLA George Mercier, Southern Range IG Arun Kumar Sinha, Police Commissioner Revatha Chandershekhar, ICGS Vizhinjam CO PK Mishra, Vizhinjam Panchayat President Latha Sugathan etc guests were also present there.Akash was taken back to the bag and sat in the bag then; the Commissioner tied and sealed the bag. The bag, with Akash inside, was carried over to the box and dropped inside it. The box was locked, chained and tied with chains and ropes. It was then attached to a crane aboard a large boat and carried about 100 meters in the sea, where the depth was approx. 150 feet.The crane was lowered and the box was submerged in the Indian Ocean waters. The silence during these few minutes was very loud!!
Just during those moments, a number of motorboats rented out for media people started racing all over the harbour.It was a beautiful scene, kind of like a whole series of Water Sports suddenly starting all over the place. Cameras were trying to get close to where the box was submerged, so that they could get an exclusive bite of Akash surfacing out of the box and the waters. When media personnels spoke to Akash, he told that he had freed himself out of the box and went 20 feet deeper aporx into the waters.A large boat-free spot and Akash surfaced 15 feet away from the box. An inflated motorized rubber boat came around Akash to pick him out of the waters. Akash swam to it and went aboard.
 

The boat took him around near the spectators where we can see him properly People wanted to Akash on the jetty and media wanted to interview him on the boats themselves.The box was brought over too, and opened. All the chains and locks and handcuffs were found intact and locked as before. The bag was found tied up as before and the box was in one piece too.The box was not carrying Akash, Akash was missing from the box, And he was infront of Us….Every one was praising him which he truly deserves. That day  has been a memorable day for me.
