印度魔術師試圖重現胡迪尼水下逃生術，卻生死未卜

美國知名魔術師哈利·胡迪尼以逃生術聞名世界。不過近日，一名印度魔術師在嘗試重現哈利·胡迪尼的水下逃生術時再也沒有浮出水面。

41歲的印度知名魔術師拉希里(Chanchal Lahiri)，藝名「巫師馬德拉克(Wizard Mandrake)」，在印度加爾各答(Kolkata)的胡格利河(Hooghly)中表演水下逃生術時失蹤。

People watched on the shore by Howrah Bridge in Kolkata to witness Lahiri being shackled with six locks and a chain. He was then dropped into the Hooghly River from a boat around midday on Sunday, The Times of India reported.

據《印度時報》報道，人們在加爾各答的豪拉大橋上見證拉希里被六把鎖和一條鏈子鎖起來。周日中午時分，拉希里從船上被扔到胡格利河中。

However, he never re-emerged. Both police and a team of divers have been unable to find him.

然而，他再也沒有出現。警方和潛水員都未能找到他。

當地一份報紙的攝影師賈揚特·肖(Jayant Shaw)告訴BBC，在拉希里表演之前，他還採訪了這位魔術師。

"I asked him why he risked his life for magic," Mr Shaw said. "He [Mr Lahiri] smiled and said, "If I do it right, it"s magic. If I make a mistake, it becomes tragic.""

肖說:「我問他為什麼要冒著生命危險去表演魔術。他(拉希里)笑著說，『如果我成功了，那就是魔術。如果我犯了一個錯誤，就會變成悲劇。」

The magician told him that he wanted to do this trick in order "to revive interest in magic".

拉希里告訴肖，他想表演這個魔術是為了「恢復人們對魔術的興趣」。

據《太陽報》報道，拉希里分別於2002年和2013年表演過這個胡迪尼100多年前表演過的逃生術。不過他6年前的那場表演遭到了現場看出魔術破綻的觀眾的攻擊。

Lahiri last successfully pulled off a similar stunt 17 years ago in the same river.

拉希里上一次成功完成類似的逃生術表演是在17年前的同一條河裡。

He was locked inside a bullet proof glass box and tied with a chain.

他被鎖在一個防彈玻璃盒子里，用鏈子綁著。

During this stunt he was dropped from Howrah bridge, but managed to come out in seconds, according to reports.

據報道，在那次表演中，他被從豪拉大橋上扔了下去，但幾秒鐘後，成功地浮出水面。

But when he tried it again in 2013, he was assaulted by witnesses who claimed it was fake.

但當他在2013年再次嘗試這個時，遭到了觀眾的攻擊，他們聲稱魔術是假的。

Onlookers reportedly saw him escape from the locked cage through a visible door, within seconds.

據說觀眾在幾秒鐘內，就看到他從鎖著的籠子里，通過一扇可見的門逃走了。

來自索納爾普爾的拉希里據說已經在全世界表演過2500多場魔術了。
