Michael Anthony Mooney, who goes by the stage name “The Great Moodini”, was attempting to perform a Houdini-like stunt in which he was handcuffed and chained to a car. He intended to free himself from the chains before the car sped away.

Google has announced plans to introduce a mobile application that would allow users to snap pictures of people’s faces in order to access their personal information.
In order to be identified by the software, people would have to check a box agreeing to give Google permission to access their pictures and profile information.
