The ankles are tied together and another length of rope is wound around the neck, like a noose, and tied to the ankles. In this trick, our performer lies prone on the belly, hands bound behind the back with classic Darby handcuffs. Today we’ll re-create an escape in which he risked suffocation in a routine known as the Lazy Hangman.
Some of his escapes are so difficult no one has dared attempt them, all these years after his untimely death. Our first routine is from the repertoire of a performer everyone’s heard of: Harry Houdini, the greatest escape artist in America, if not the world, a man who performed before crowned heads of state and U.S. We have a number of thrills in store for you over the next two days as our illusionists, our magicians, our sleight-of-hand artists weave their spells to delight and captivate you.
