But none will tell you how exactly they do it - with the possible exception of magicians Penn & Teller (and then, only Penn).Įscapology existed before Houdini, but only like rock ‘n’ roll did before Elvis. Some escape artists employ illusion others pure agility and strength. Maybe I shouldn’t have used the word "great."Įscapology is the practice of breaking free of restraints.
It went perfectly during rehearsals, I swear. Today, Dixie Dooley has donated a portion of his show at the Royal Resort to "the Great Cordini." And, as a testament to his faith in my skills, Dooley has already offered everyone in the audience a free pass to "any other night you like." I’ve wiggled my arms free of the sleeves but the blasted jacket refuses to pull over my head, no matter how desperately I yank. Unlike Harry Houdini, I’m not escaping (although I’m doing fine on the struggling thing).
(He found that audiences preferred watching him struggle.) Like Harry Houdini, I’m performing my straitjacket escape without a curtain.
