CANNON’S FULLY EXAMINABLE COFFIN ESCAPE©2006

A BEAUTIFULLY CONSTRUCTED & STAINED WOODEN COFFIN, complete with turned handles and molding, is seen to be standing upright on the stage.  Six Volunteers CLOSELY examine the casket inside and out.  There are no trap doors, gimmicked hinges, etc.  They discover two sets of handcuffs, and one pair of leg irons that have been permanently attached to the inside walls of the casket.  The manacles check out to be secure.  The performer enters the coffin, has his legs shackles in place, and his wrists manacled "R.I.P." style.  The coffin's lid is then slowly closed, and squeaks as it does so.  Next, three separate, 2" wide Nylon-Webbed Cargo straps that completely encircle the casket, are WINCHED TIGHT to secure the lid in place.  The winches are the LARGE, HEAVY-DUTY type that are commonly used to secure items on the back of a Semi-Truck.  (Incidentally, the Nylon-Webbing is also the same style used to secure, and lower a coffin into the grave).  The spectators satisfy themselves that the lid cannot budge.  The committee of SIX now become PALLBEARERS, as they lower the coffin into a horizontal position, and carry it over to a set of saw horses, where they lay it to rest in peace.  Finally, a cover (such as a curtain) is placed around the whole affair.  Eerie, funeral procession music plays, and the stage darkens with only (perhaps) a few candles for lighting, as the audience waits in anticipation.  A few moments later, the escapist reappears, and the coffin is still completely secured shut! 

This particular escape can be very dramatic, eerie, and mysterious.  The pre-show publicity possible for a Halloween stunt is obvious.  This one also rates very high on mystery, as the secret is a brand new idea for a coffin escape, and one that will defy your spectator's inspection.  This escape can be highly theatrical in the correct hands.  Consider lighting, music, costumes, etc.  SOMEDAY YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BUY ONE OF THESE ANYWAY, SO WHY NOT GET MORE THAN ONE USE OUT OF IT?
