CANNON’S GREAT ESCAPES

One of the most difficult escapes to devise is one that allows the audience to actually WITNESS the entire escape. Especially if it is a BIG, SPECTACULAR effect. Well, here it is: The Diamond-Plated Steel Box escape! First of all, the “steel” (actually aluminum) box is FULLY EXAMINABLE, inside and out. Spectators will find that the door locks closed three ways: First, the cargo type handle has its own lock requiring a key. Secondly, a nylon-webbed cargo strap with friction buckle adds to the security. Lastly, a Master Combo padlock secures the door hasp to the side of the box. After they satisfy themselves that all is fair (?), i.e.: THEY dial and unlock the padlock, test the strap, and the door handle lock, etc., YOU then are HANDCUFFED, and proceed to squeeze into the VERY TIGHT SPACE of the box! This itself usually generates audience reaction. The spectator then locks you in: He uses the key to lock the door handle, secures the strap and pulls on it to make it tight; and lastly locks the padlock, and pulls on it to make sure it is secure.
NOW FOR THE ESCAPE: The audience listens as you work inside to free
yourself. Suddenly, they see the door handle move, and you FORCE the door
slightly open (about 1/2”) against the webbed friction strap. This is just
enough for you to force the HANDCUFF BOW (that you have escaped from) outside of
the box, and then use it open the friction buckle! Now the door opens to the
extent of the hasp: about two and a half inches—enough for you to squeeze your
hand out and reach the padlock! INCREDIBLY , YOU THEN PROCEED TO “PICK” THE
COMBO LOCK—SIGHT-UNSEEN! The door swings open, AND YOU ARE OUT! This escape
was recently a FEATURE on tour in Europe, and met with very enthusiastic
audience response. AND, IT CAN BE PERFORMED COMPLETELY SURROUNDED! Performer
must be in good physical shape. Created by Mark Cannon. (Handcuffs
not included).
