Bowditch recounts how Hollywood actor and magician, John Calvert, requested permission from the Darwin police to perform a stunt in which he would drive blindfolded through the unfamiliar city. The police were disinclined to grant permission until Calvert convinced them of his skill by brilliantly executing a few tricks on the spot using the unsuspecting police as 'victims' while Bowditch, the reporter, looked on as witness.
