The first one is confusing. Escaping nude from a prison cell but escaping fully dressed? Seems weird…Nonetheless, an amazing feat was done by Harry! 1000 spikes?! Yowch! 3,500 feet? When I younger, I broke my leg from a 15 feet fall!

My Rating (will be the last one for now, mostly just because it’s late):
Houdini: Where did he get the clothes from?
Rating: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Porcupine Quills: That’s nice, I guess. I’ve heard they’re a pain to get out (literally and figuratively).
Rating: ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
Skydiver: It shows him in a pond, but isn’t water like set cement at that speed?
Rating: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
