Hi, Neighbors, Happy Monday

While I get ready for Halloween, I’m telling you the true story of a Fresno magician known as “The Amazing Joe” — Joseph W. Burrus.

Joe was born and raised in Fresno, California, before eventually moving to Salem, Oregon, where he developed his career as a magician and escape artist. Inspired by Harry Houdini, Joe wanted to become known for incredible escape performances.

One of his most famous stunts was a buried-alive escape, which he successfully performed in Oregon.

But in 1990, Joe returned to Fresno for a Halloween performance that would become his final act.

On October 31, 1990, at Blackbeard’s Family Fun Center, Joe attempted a much more ambitious version of his buried-alive escape in front of an audience that included members of his family.

What happened that night became one of Fresno’s most unusual and tragic Halloween stories.

In this episode, I’ll take you through Joe’s life—from growing up in Fresno, to moving to Oregon, discovering magic, becoming fascinated with Houdini, and eventually returning to Fresno for his final Halloween performance.

👻 This is a true story based on historical reporting and records.

🎃 So get comfortable, get your Halloween makeup ready, and come hear the story of…

THE AMAZING JOE.

Welcome to Witch Dark Tales.

HI NIEGHBORS HAPPY MONDAY!
