ESCAPE HERO DARES NEW
CHALLENGE THIS SEASON

DEFIES DEATH IN COMPRESSION CHAMBER....

COLUMBUS,
Ohio, March 23 / --  Michael Griffin, America’s
Escape Hero and only Two Time Winner of TV’s World Magic Awards for Best Escape
Artist, (http://www.escapeguy.com) 
is unlocking an all new daring mystery, escape from the Compression Chamber
as part of his live production that combines intensely original magic,
impossible escapes, audience interaction and his World wide challenge of
$100,000.00 to anyone who can keep him prisoner.....

The
Compression Chamber used in Vietnam to “compress a confession “ for US
prisoners was a cut down oil drum with a grill across the top.  The prisoner would be handcuffed and forced
down into a crouched position and expected to confess.  This didn’t work and so a better version was
developed using a solid locking top preventing any light from getting in and
once bound and locked in the chamber would be placed into a pitch black room to
fully deprive the captive from all sensory input.  This failed as well.  All the known instances of use resulted in
the deaths of the captives.....

Michael
Griffin was able to get one of these compression chambers and to the best guess
is being shackled up in the same manner and with historically accurate irons,
then forced down into the chamber taking one last breath.  The lid is then locked down with multiple
padlocks and the whole chamber is placed into a black isolation room on
stage.  Escape comes at a huge cost to the
performer and as such is being used as the closing number on the live shows.....
