Description
1 Man, 9 Lives, Pure WOW!
What makes Michael Griffin, America's Escape Hero so different in a World of Same?
A very, very different kind of variety act. Embracing life by tempting death, live on stage, involving audience interaction to experience something totally original mixing intensely original magic and impossible escapes, you could even win $100,000.00!
Michael is the only performer in the World that combines his "intensely original magic and impossible escapes, featuring almost 100% audience interaction and the chance that at any performance someone could actually win the $100,000.00 challenge".
Dazzling and breathtaking as a performer, Michael takes supreme escapes to the extreme challenge in many forms including escaping water-filled sealed oil drums, the most complex police restraints and even mental hospitals. One of his most interesting on-stage challenges is an 1880's Navy Sea bag, most notably called "the cloth coffin".
Forget typical straitjackets, handcuffs and ropes – Griffin has taken passé escape concepts to an escalated level - into a new realm of risk in the art of escapology. What ordinarily would be a well-known handcuff escape Griffin adds the suffocating dare of having to escape from them inside a heavy airtight canvas sack, which is the most original escape today. Even the U.S. Government hasn't been able to hold him in a real Postal Mailbag locked on the outside by a high security Government lock!
Griffin has also added his own twists to dangerous non-escapes, including the East Indian Needle Mystery - a jaw-dropping challenge in which he swallows 40 needles separate of some thread, having his mouth proved empty then, regurgitating the needles threaded along the entire eight-foot length.
