Samson feats at Royal Aquarium stir strongman fans
The Pall Mall Budget highlights Samson the strongest man on earth performing at the Royal Aquarium. He breaks a 3,000 pound iron chain with a fist and splits a 2,500 pound chain, then fashions two iron bracelets around his biceps as spectators watch. He bends a four foot gas pipe around his neck and draws nine onlookers into a staged tug of war, offering £100 for failure. The 31 year old Alsace-Lorraine native, now in England from America, recounts a storied career from circus rings to modern strength displays.
