So what makes Michael Griffin, America’s Escape Hero so different in a World of Same? Originality - 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”.
Michael Griffin performance
Dazzling and breathtaking as a performer, Michael Griffin 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!
Michael 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.
What’s the secret? It’s Michael Griffin’s strong mind, conviction, heart and belief system setting apart this distinguished performer from all others. “I do not use drugs or alcohol. I never have and I never will. I simply do not believe in their illusion, nor the illusion of negative thinking which is the toughest strait jacket we will ever face; but, if you put your mind to it, and you believe in yourself, you will always escape.”
