My name is Jet Wintzer, from the band, SCHIZO FUN ADDICT. I am
publicly laying claim to have found the map to David Blaine's hidden
treasure and am simultaneously releasing it to anybody who wants to
use it to find the treasure.
The Map to David Blaine's Challenge from the book "Mysterious
Stranger," published by Jet Wintzer on November 26, 2003

Readers of Onelovestory should note the "Sally" connection.
I am releasing this with a time stamp to all "Treasure Hunt" forums as
well as David Blaine's official forum and E MAIL address. David
Blaine has always stated he wanted to bring people together and in
that spirit I have decided to release The Map for all to pursue. May
Peace and Love be upon you all.
PART ONE: The Map
Blaine said there was a simple solution if you were to "think outside
the box" and that if you tried to solve the mystery by solving all the
clues it would be very difficult. The following conversation took
place between David Blaine and Paula Zahn, back on November 14, 2002
when the challenge was first released with the book. (I want to thank
JEP aka Jeff Brighton from the Quest For Treasure Bulletin Board for
correlating the following interview to my thesis.)
DAVID BLAINE: I kind of created it, so -- with help, of course, but I
created it so that it would be very simple, if you were to think
outside of the box, or if you were to go the typical way of solving
clues, it would be very difficult.
ZAHN: Do you think anybody's going to find it?
BLAINE: Absolutely.
And later,
BLAINE: So if you turn it counterclockwise and you start to decipher
the letters, these are top halves of letters, so you can see the word
wonderful. Maybe you could look at the last one which is P-E-E- R-S,
which people figured out, it's all over the Internet already. There
are clues like that that are abstract.
ZAHN: We appreciate the help, David. We just have to understand those
clues.
BLAINE: I'm not helping you, believe me.
_____________________
When I first contemplated solving this, I immediately believed all the
cyphers in the book, while possibly leading anywhere, were nothing but
a brilliant work of distraction by Cliff Johnson.
We all know by now from the public clues Blaine gave, that the orb is
in a stone.
The simplest solution begins with, "X MARKS THE SPOT" on page 59.
Every child knows that X marks the spot for buried treasure on a map.
I plug that term into a search engine, the first connection kicks in.
The actress "Sally Blane" starred in the film, "X Marks The Spot" in
1931.
We're in the movies now and the "Guys and Dolls" movie still
underneath the stone with the "X" on it becomes the focus of my
attention. I do a search on the movie. I find that actress VIVIAN
BLAINE plays Adelaide, Sinatra's love interest. The girls
surrounding Brando were called "The Goldwyn Girls" and I switch it
around thinking "win gold." They are sitting on boxes, think
"outside" the box..
The "A" in the lower left hand corner box is identical to a compass
directional in the Haggstrom road maps. The girls' outfits remind me
of the Little Man from Nurmberg's hair and his hidden messages.
I get the magnifying glass out. I think of the new paperback edition
of "Mysterious Stranger" and the eye in the hand. I think "sight of
hand" a play on sleight of hand. I look at Brando's left hand
pointing at the fine 50's cleavage. I bring the magnifying glass
closer. On her left breast I believe the number "911" has been inked
in and, I believe... an upside down number "70" has also been
manufactured. It's much clearer in the new paperback edition, but you
should have no problem seeing it with a magnifying glass in the hard
cover.
I turn the book around 90 degrees clockwise, so the numbers now read
"116 70".
It's odd that the 70 looks more like 70 when it's upside down. I'm
not totally certain about the "70" or what it means, but it got me to
turn the thing over and think about 116, which I am certain about. I
saw the 911 and it caused an alert, a strong reaction automatically
kicked in. The possibility of the 70 being upside down gave me the
idea to turn the 911 over.
The moment I realized it was the number 116 when flipped over, I
became thrilled.
I pondered, "What's the simplest meaning?" The answer, "The map must
be on page 116." I frantically turn to page 116 and lo and behold, a
map lies there in the left hand border! A map of Venezuala. But the
orb is hidden in the Continental USA?
Still, the coincidence feels too strong, and I keep staring at the
map, waiting for inspiration. Suddenly, I notice the trim of the map
looks very much like a film strip, as well as a map binder. We're
back in the movies now. The Guys and Dolls film strip led me to the
map page. Then I recall the song, "Follow the Fold" from Guys and
Dolls. I had come across all the lyrics while doing the first search.
So I follow the fold over the dark solid line going down the page
cutting the map almost in half, removing the most Eastern section of
the pg. 116 map from view.
As I tilt the map clockwise, while playing with the film strip, I
begin to recognize the Western border as practically identical to a
map of New Jersey. I then read what David Blaine has scribbled in
there.
It says, "river creates a border with Columbia."
And I notice that the Delaware River creates a border between New
Jersey and Pennsylvania in an identical pattern as to the pg. 116 map.
Use this New Jersey map,
http://www.infoplease.com/atlas/state/newjersey.html
Just turn the DB map clockwise about 80 degrees amd compare the ridges
and contours of the two maps.
Not convinced yet? No problem.
Look up at the North West area of the New Jersey map and see that the
city of COLUMBIA, New Jersey, borders Pennsylvania. And right above
COLUMBIA, you can see the slight blue line of the Delaware River,
which means that Columbia borders a river separating two States on
both maps, maps that are very similar.
Going back to the Guys and Dolls photo, it's been altered from the
original. I found a rare original copy of this photo for sale on the
internet. It's a direct generation from the original studio negative.
It hasn't been delivered yet, but I have a JPEG you can see. It's
been drastically trimmed.
See it here
http://www.onlinerock.com/musicians/suddenbliss/brando.jpg
It's also in color. The "F" and the "R" have been trimmed off the box
leaving the "A", which looks just like a map compass directional.
(The letters spell "age" if you leave out the hidden "i". It
originally read "fragile."
It will be interesting to see if the numbers "116" and "70" are in the
original photo or not . You can't tell from this J Peg. Regardless,
the odds of the maps being that alike as well as the numbers being
present by coincidence are mathematically extreme.
Now flip to the very first page of the chapter with the Guys and Dolls
movie still in it, Chapter V, "Confidence." Go there now and read the
caption by Cicero,
"Careful attention to one thing often proves superior to genius." -
Cicero
And the images on pages 54 and 55 are of a child and a genius. It's a
tip off that the simple solution would be found in Chapter Five. The
one thing you needed to concentrate on was the most obvious, and the
most simple clue.
X MARKS THE SPOT.
The map is on page 116, and the treaure is in New Jersey, where David
Blaine lived from 11 to 16.
I'm giving the map away because I want the glory more than the gold.
I'm severely broke, but the money made me feel dark today.
I needed to cleanse myself. I hope somebody finds it.
PART 2: The Map Point
Going back to the map. The dashes that plot DB's course are like the
morse code dashes on other pages.
The first point on the map is "Puerto Ayacucho". The name Ayacucho
means "the corner where we cried for our dead people" in "Quechuan",
the Inka's language. I've also seen it translated as, "The corner of
the dead" and "The place of the dead."
While doing a search on Ayachuco a listing came back for the following
web site
http://www.last-names.net/surname.asp?surname=Dudley
"A town in Worcestershire, England, so called from the old English
Dode-ley, the place of the dead, a burying-ground. Dodelig, in the
Danish, signifies pale, death-like, mortal; so also the Dutch
Doodelijk, and German Todlich. Duv-da-lethe, in the Gaelic and Celtic,
which has been corrupted to Dudley, has the same signification."
I then plugged in "Dudley, New Jersey" in a search and found exactly
one hit mentioning a town called Dudley, New Jersey in a biography on
W.C. Feilds. This informed me that the town of Dudley was just north
of Camden. In fact it is now part of East Camden.
http://www.wnyc.org/books/13742
The "Puerto Ayacucho" point on the DB map corresponds perfectly to
Camden, New Jersey. I went there today and it was quite a trip.
Thomas Dudley was one of the greatest fighters against slavery in the
history of the USA. He organized a spy ring in Liverpool to bust the
British doing business with the Confederacy. The small town that was
Dudley in East Camden now holds Dudley Grange Park, on what was his
estate. This is a very run down area but it has loads of character
and characters.
I didn't find the egg.
I went to the Camden free library and while doing research on Dudley,
I came across info on Walt Whitman who is buried in Harleigh Cemetery,
Camden New Jersey. I thought "place of the dead."
Harleigh Cemetery is one of the most intense cemeteries I've ever seen
with massive mausoleums. On my way from the library to Harleigh I had
to cross through a ghetto of Camden where I came by the most run down
and beaten up Cemetery I've ever seen sitting next to a Salvation Army
(which once again reminded me of Guys and Dolls.) This cemetery is
open 24/7 and I can assure you there is no security. There are many
holes in the surrounding fence. The place is surreal. Many of the
headstones are all smashed up, and I looked over every stone in this
place of the dead.
It was one of the most interesting and spiritual walks I've ever had
and it reminded me of just how destined for the next life we all all.
The name of the cemetery was not identified, and was not marked.
I did not find the orb.
I then moved on to the extreme opposite, Harleigh Cemetery, a bastion
of wealth.
Whitman's tomb is this bizarre mausoleum made of huge stone slabs,
about 7 of them, which apparently weigh two to three tons each. Also,
the tomb is surrounded by stones of varying sizes, which drove me
crazy looking for the orb.
Whitman was born is Brooklyn, like David Blaine, and he moved to New
Jersey, like DB.
I couldn't find the orb.
Buried not far from Whitman is Nick Virgilio, the famous American
Haiku poetry master. Haiku's made me think of Cliff Johnson sayings.
I didn't it find it there either.
I believe the Orb will be found in Camden, New Jersey. Good luck
finding it.
With Love and admiration,
