Human daredevil to be shot out of a cannon
David “The Bullet” Smith, billed as “the world’s highest flying human cannonball,” will soar at 10:30 p.m. tonight at the Seminole Casino Hollywood.
He's expected to go 70 feet in the air at a speed of about 90 mph. He'll travel 150 feet into a net. (Hope it's a good net.)
The Seminole Casino Hollywood is at 4150 North State Road 7 (U.S. Highway 441), just south of Stirling Road (across the street from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino), in Hollywood, Florida. For more information call 954-961-3220 or 1-866-2-CASINO or visit www.seminolehollywoodcasino.com.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
