Michael Griffin - Escape Artist
Advertisement
No other escape artist compares to Michael Griffin, whose name is synonymous with the practice of escapology. Griffin has established himself as one of the best escape artists of all time thanks to his capacity to free himself from even the most difficult escape challenges. Numerous accolades, including Best Escape Artist at the World Magic Awards and Best Escape Artist at the International Magic Awards, may be seen on his outstanding resume. He possesses the uncanny ability to free himself from any extreme escape challenge known to man, from water-sealed oil drums, an assortment of complex police restraints, to mental hospitals, coffins, and other perilous escapes. Griffin’s accomplishments, however, go far beyond escapology and magic. His real-life feats, which include being the only person to have survived a public hanging and aiding in the capture of a murderer while still restrained by a rope, have garnered national attention. Griffin has also played a crucial role in helping 1200 people safely evacuate a burning building while he was still bound by rope. Griffin’s love for magic and escapology began at a young age when he would tie himself up with rope and try to escape, inspired by TV shows and cartoons featuring characters who used their skills and abilities to escape perilous situations. Griffin’s father, a respected psychiatrist, was initially hesitant about his son’s interest in magic, but eventually came to support Griffin’s ambition in the field of escapology.
