Canadian performs daring escape act with 20 snakes in a box

Dangerous feat: Gunnarson getting his hands chained and cuffed before being placed in a chainlocked transparent box with slithering poisonous vipers.

GEORGE TOWN: Escape artiste Dean Gunnarson needed only a hairpin to free himself from a transparent box filled with 20 poisonous snakes at the Snake Temple here.

And it took him less than 15 minutes to unlock four pairs of handcuffs on his hands and arms with the pin, and a chainlock which secured the box.
