Cannonball Paul


When Missouri Freemason Paul Creason launched his career, he did it literally.  Because, Missouri Masons, you have a brother who was a GEN-U-INE human cannonball.  Brother Paul "Zacchinni" Creason is a member of Forsyth Lodge #453.  While many of us have worked to support the Shrine Circus, Brother Paul can brag that he has actually been a performer in it.  He came well-prepared for his rare skill being a graduate of the "Gil Gray School Of Circus Experience", & "Paul Kaye Circus University."  The admittedly grainy video below shows Brother Paul "going ballistic" in one of his many death-defying performances.  It is a clip of a longer video courtesy Yesterday's Towns.


Thanks to Todd Creason for the tip on Brother Paul.  One of Todd's articles was featured in the current "Missouri Freemason" and, seeing they had the same name, "Cannonball Paul" contacted Todd. They're not sure they are related but they are Brothers nonetheless.  Todd's article on Brother Paul can be found on his blog, The Midnight Freemasons
