Hi everybody. I have just joined here today Sunday, Oct 8, 2006. I am Italian and was born & raised in New York City. I now live in Columbia, Missouri. My main show that I do is "A Tribute To Houdini". I'm still the "Guinness World Champion Escape Artist". I recreate all of the Death-Defying Escapes of the legendary "Houdini". In my stage show I have volunters from the audience come up on stage and confine me into Strait-Jackets; 15-20 pairs of assorted Police Handcuffs, Leg Cuffs and Chains with Pad Locks and then stuff me into a US Mail Bag which is locked on the outside with 2 Pad Locks and then placed inside a Canvas Sack and tied. I also escape from 100 feet of thick rope after being tied to a chair around my entire body; nailed and locked inside a Wooden Coffin; locked and tied inside a Wooden Packing Crate and many other types of restraining Devices. The finale of my show is the Houdini Water Torure Cell or the water filled locked Giant Milk Can. I'm locked into the water filled giant steel Milk Can or the Water Torture cell. Either one of these last two water escapes are very dangerous and if I fail to escape it means a drowning death. On some occasions I had to be chopped out to save my life by my assistants, but I keep on doing it. For my out door Escape Stunts I attempt to escape from A Strait-Jacket and Manacles while suspended upside down from a burning rope tied around my ankles hanging 1,000 feet or higher in the air from a building, Hot Air Balloon, Helicopter, or Crane. I also am locked into many pairs of handcuffs plus chains & locks and leap off a bridge into rivers or lakes and attempt to escape while underwater before drowning. I've also been buried alive in a sealed coffin in a 6 foot deep grave and escape from that while shackled & chained. Many other dangerous escapes & stunts that I do are too numberous to mention here. I've been on many major TV shows and TV specials over the years. On the safer side is my other main show "A Tribute To Elvis". I'm rated the # 3 top Elvis tribute artist in the Mid-West. I sing all the hit songs of Elvis from the 50s/ 60s & 70s in my Las Vegas Style Elvis Concert. I'm also a professional Magician & Illusionist & Fire Eater and Breather. When not performing I Produce and Promote the Emmett Kelly Jr. Circus, Professional Boxing & Wrestling, Southern Gospel Music Concerts and a Variety of other shows. Anyone that would like to contact me. I'll try to answer all messages. Again hi to everyone here. My web site is: www.MarioManziniEntertainment.com My Talent Agency web site is: www.mario-manzini.com
