On the occasion of his visit in Budapest
H.R.H. Prince Michael James Alexander STEWART COUNT OF ALBANY (SCO) -
Honorary President of IBSSA had detailed discussions with Prof. George
POPPER, GCKM - President of IBSSA about all important matters, questions
and forthcoming programs of IBSSA.


During this visit the Honorary President of IBSSA was invited to the
spectacular show of Mr. David MERLINI called the "BREAKTHROUGH" by
IN-KAL Company Group. David MERLINI endeavoured to achieve the impossible
again on August 31st 2004 in Budapest. The Merlini Wall, the Big Breakthrough
a spectacular grand event and David's most dangerous and difficult stunt
to date. The performance of his life began outside the Hungarian Academy
of Science at 10am, where David was lowered into a glass aquarium, which
was then filled with four metric tons of liquid cement to the level of
his neck. Under normal circumstances this would be enough to suffocate
a person. But that's not all. David could be viewed the whole day until
8pm in the evening until the concrete had solidified. Every ten minutes
celebrities arrived to place their handprints in the concrete. His Royal
Highness was also requested to attest the concrete with his signature
and seal it with his hand mark. A special crane lifted David onto a truck
and he started on his journey to the Chain bridge. David arrived at the
bridge, which was illuminated by dozens of robotic lights. He was taken
to the centre of the bridge and a giant crane lowered him slowly into
the Danube below. He had only 2 minutes to set himself free from the
concrete and get out of the Danube. He succeeded!

"That was kickass!"


"Everybody prepared for me to face my most frightening
nightmare"


Dr. József POLYÁK (AUS) - Honorary Founding Member of
IBSSA invited H.R.H. Prince Michael into his home in Tabdi, where they
could view in a very familiar atmosphere the lifework of Dr. Polyák
through hundreds of photos and numerous awards. (Since 1991 Dr. Polyák
has been working for every Prime Minister.)


During the week H.R.H. Prince Michael James Alexander STEWART COUNT
OF ALBANY had also unofficial meeting with Dr. Róbert HORVÁTH-
Full member of IBSSA, who invited His Royal Highness to Moongate Restaurant.
H.R.H. Prince Michael liked the restaurant very much, so he authorised
the restaurant with the "This Restaurant is recognised by the Royal
House of Stewart" title. This is the only place in Hungary, which
has this kind of recognition.


On the programmes His Royal Highness was accompanied by Prof. George
POPPER, GCKM - President of IBSSA.
