He was last seen in a straitjacket nailed to a spinning wheel inside a building being demolishing by a wrecking ball '''and''' explosives, yet no explanation is given for how he survived other than "he's just that good", apparently. Later, when Jack was encouraged by Spike and the gang to hold one more show to lure out the ghost, he performed even more impossible tricks. His "ghost" can also fly, which turns out to be by magnets in its shoes, far more powerful than any real world magnet.
