November 10, 2016 News THEDUQUESNEDUKE 3 Pgh. daredevil attempts Houdini’s death-defying drop

Photos by Taylor Carr/Staff Photographer On Nov. 6, 2016, Pittsburgh magician Lee Terbosic successfully recreated a famous trick performed in Pittsburgh 100 years ago to the day by the legendary Harry Houndini. Houdini’s classic trick was a death-defying aerial act, in which he would suspend himself from a building with a rope tied to his feet and hang upside down in a straightjacket. Houdini would then proceed to escape the straightjacket and drop it on the ground below to signify the act was complete. Terbosic replicated the act in the very spot Houdini originally performed his magic trick. A crane physically suspended Terbosic 90 feet above the crowd. If Terbosic were to fall it, would mean certain death. The crane swung back and forth as he wiggled and writhed against his straightjacket to free himself. However, in a little over four minutes, Terbosic was free, and the straightjacket plummeted to the crowd below. Extended cap- tion by Sean Armstrong/Staff Writer.

It was also his last. The diagnosis was a torn ACL, which prematurely ended Jones’ collegiate career. The news tested just how mentally and physically tough Jones could be. “It sucked. I was very emotional about it,” Jones said. “I wasn’t really talking or eating or sleeping for a couple weeks, but I understood that it was part of God’s plan and whatever happened was meant to happen and I would move on with my life from then on. Life is about more than just playing basketball.” Jones still has hope that his playing career may not be over just yet, but as he continues to recover from a torn ACL, he decided to transition to the other side of the bas- ketball world and begin his coaching career. Duquesne men’s basketball head coach Jim Ferry brought in Jones as part of his inaugural recruiting class on the Bluff. Ferry trusted the talent of Jones and in return was rewarded with 761 career points, 412 rebounds, 209 as- sists, 54 steals and one humble leader. Ferry sees a future in the coaching world for his former small forward and de- cided to bring him onto the staff for the 2016-17 season. After just one exhibition contest under his coaching belt, Jones is still getting used to the idea of being on the sidelines. “I don’t necessarily like getting dressed up in suits all the time, but I like the game of basketball and whatever I have to do to be around it, I’ll do it,” Jones said. “It was a courtesy of duquesne athletics little weird, but I’ll get used to it.” Former forward Jeremiah Jones prepares to shoot a free throw in the 2015 City Game versus the University of Pittsburgh at Consol Energy In his first year of coaching, Jones will look to help Center.
