the post-modern Houdini, Shawn is a ....Baltimore....

with his family where he became familiar with many different theatrical arts
that would later guide him to his current form of magic. It all started
with a Blackstone magic set nearly 25 years ago. His fascination of the
venerable art grew as he submerged himself in magic literature and later
studied under several professional magicians, including Master Magician Jeff
McBride at the ....McBride....

and laughter; all bound together by a shroud of mystery that ultimately produces
an unforgettable evening of wonders and amazement...

most sense-confounding extravaganza known to man! Because on this very stage,
we've gathered up all the mysterious wonders of the world, and put them
together in one unforgettable show of magic and illusion.........
About the Escape:
In 1921 Harry Houdini
was shackled and placed inside a 7 foot tall federal canvas mail bag that had
been waterproofed. At the top the grommets were sealed shut with a thick bar of
metal and locked on both sides with large regulation pad locks. It took
Houdini 3 minuets to escape. Air is thin in there and the bag is tight on the
body allowing for very little movement. Shawn plans on escaping in fewer than
three minuets and adding a surprise at the end that will leave people talking
about this escape........................ for
years to come. See it LIVE in ........Roanoke...., ....VA........ as Shawn Anthony
challenges himself with one of the most physically challenging escapes
developed by Houdini. Shawn Anthony will take you on a Journey of magic and
wonder during this very special two hour show that includes a full evening of
grand illusion.
