Fowlerville, MI, August 16 / -- Michael Griffin, Americas Escape
Hero, http://www.escapeguy.com) In a potentially dis-arming escape
brings the dare back to daredevil for a special one of a kind major
escape attempt involving both wrists handcuffed with maximum security
shackles secured to 100 of coiled rope with the terminal end
attached to one of the shows custom choppers waiting a scant 30
seconds before lurching into gear, speeding away from Griffin and
possibly taking the Escape Artists arms with it at the 2009
Easyriders-Rodeo Tour in Fowlerville, MI August 21.

Michael Griffin, The only 2 time winner for TVs World Magic Awards
for Best Escape Artist was challenged by Easyriders Events (http://
www.easyridersevents.com) to attempt the most hair raising escape
challenge imaginable using one of the shows custom bikes as a modern
chopper twist on the ancient torture Drawn and Quartered by bringing
it current using modern high security shackles, rope and much more
horsepower than in the old roman days hopefully putting the dare back
into daredevil by Griffin making his escape in under the allotted 30
seconds.

Griffin says all people everywhere have one thing in common with each
other and that is we all have a certain amount of time or, moments on
this earth. I really wonder what the people who are going to be at
this daredevil escape attempt would be thinking. What would they do in
this situation where you knew all of your moments were now running out
and you are left with possibly just the last 30 seconds, or moments in
your life?

Griffin guarantees that he will not back away from this challenge and
that he intends to go into the arena fully armed.

About Michael Griffin

Performing astonishing escapes and setting records around the World
for over two decades, 2-time World Magic Award Winning Master of
Escape, Michael Griffin is considered the Greatest Living Escape
Artist.

He is the ONLY escape artist to ever attempt and survive a thirteen-
knot Hangmans Noose in 52 seconds! He has also escaped from a solid
steel hermetically sealed airtight casket with a submarine style hatch
locking the outside. Griffin has also escaped from handcuffs, ropes,
locks, leg irons and chains from a maximum-security jail cell, the ice-
covered Ohio River and from the silty bottom of the Pacific Ocean. But
the spectacular underwater escapes dont end there! He has been
shackled hand and foot with a 65-pound ball and chain wrapped tight
around his neck and lowered headfirst by a crane to the bottom of a
lagoon.

Griffin is the only escape artist granted permission to reenact
Houdinis 1912 death-defying underwater crate escape. He successfully
escaped within 45 seconds after being bound, handcuffed and sealed
inside Houdinis 90 year-old original packing crate lowered into the
depths of Floridas hurricane-kissed Intercoastal watersjust 5 days
before the 76th anniversary of Houdinis death. And of course, Griffin
put an additional spin on this by re-entering the crate again
returning to the surface clutching the handcuffs taking the escape
beyond the level of what Houdini did himself. Whats the secret? Its
Griffins strong mind, conviction, heart and belief system setting
apart this distinguished performer from all others. I do not use
drugs or alcohol. I never have and I never will. I simply do not
believe in their illusion, nor the illusion of negative thinking which
is the toughest strait jacket we will ever face; but, if you put your
mind to it, and you believe in yourself, you will always escape

Hah,,,,like clockwork,,,no biggie we were wondering how fast this would be jumped on as an imitation so lets be clear about something.

several years ago we debuted pulled to pieces on race day for Associated Television whom we had taped many episodes before including World Magic Awards, International Magic Awards and several episodes of Masters of Illusion. We taped this in centenial park in Atlanta Ga (I think thats where it was) it was raining sideways and very black,,,we got the escape but never used it.
we shelved it and brought it back for several fairs in front of destruction derbies
always the same premise: locked hand and foot layed out on the deck chains attached to opposing cars ready to lurch into gear ripping me apart, i was covered and the countdown began.
The crowds really seemed to enjoy it and we were pleased and put it up.

I liked the premise of santinis "just hands" staging its a much simpler escape requiring virtually no props, so easy to travel and do and can have fun with it
so,,,the flaming will begin,,,i cant win because i wont live on here trying to justify my self

This is just my presentation of an escape,,,,

Fowlerville, MI, August 16 / -- Michael Griffin, Americas Escape
Hero, http://www.escapeguy.com) In a potentially dis-arming escape
brings the dare back to daredevil for a special one of a kind major
escape attempt involving both wrists handcuffed with maximum security
shackles secured to 100 of coiled rope with the terminal end
attached to one of the shows custom choppers waiting a scant 30
seconds before lurching into gear, speeding away from Griffin and
possibly taking the Escape Artists arms with it at the 2009
Easyriders-Rodeo Tour in Fowlerville, MI August 21.

Michael Griffin, The only 2 time winner for TVs World Magic Awards
for Best Escape Artist was challenged by Easyriders Events (http://
www.easyridersevents.com) to attempt the most hair raising escape
challenge imaginable using one of the shows custom bikes as a modern
chopper twist on the ancient torture Drawn and Quartered by bringing
it current using modern high security shackles, rope and much more
horsepower than in the old roman days hopefully putting the dare back
into daredevil by Griffin making his escape in under the allotted 30
seconds.

Griffin says all people everywhere have one thing in common with each
other and that is we all have a certain amount of time or, moments on
this earth. I really wonder what the people who are going to be at
this daredevil escape attempt would be thinking. What would they do in
this situation where you knew all of your moments were now running out
and you are left with possibly just the last 30 seconds, or moments in
your life?

Griffin guarantees that he will not back away from this challenge and
that he intends to go into the arena fully armed.

About Michael Griffin

Performing astonishing escapes and setting records around the World
for over two decades, 2-time World Magic Award Winning Master of
Escape, Michael Griffin is considered the Greatest Living Escape
Artist.

He is the ONLY escape artist to ever attempt and survive a thirteen-
knot Hangmans Noose in 52 seconds! He has also escaped from a solid
steel hermetically sealed airtight casket with a submarine style hatch
locking the outside. Griffin has also escaped from handcuffs, ropes,
locks, leg irons and chains from a maximum-security jail cell, the ice-
covered Ohio River and from the silty bottom of the Pacific Ocean. But
the spectacular underwater escapes dont end there! He has been
shackled hand and foot with a 65-pound ball and chain wrapped tight
around his neck and lowered headfirst by a crane to the bottom of a
lagoon.

Griffin is the only escape artist granted permission to reenact
Houdinis 1912 death-defying underwater crate escape. He successfully
escaped within 45 seconds after being bound, handcuffed and sealed
inside Houdinis 90 year-old original packing crate lowered into the
depths of Floridas hurricane-kissed Intercoastal watersjust 5 days
before the 76th anniversary of Houdinis death. And of course, Griffin
put an additional spin on this by re-entering the crate again
returning to the surface clutching the handcuffs taking the escape
beyond the level of what Houdini did himself. Whats the secret? Its
Griffins strong mind, conviction, heart and belief system setting
apart this distinguished performer from all others. I do not use
drugs or alcohol. I never have and I never will. I simply do not
believe in their illusion, nor the illusion of negative thinking which
is the toughest strait jacket we will ever face; but, if you put your
mind to it, and you believe in yourself, you will always escape

Only trouble when the so called "escape artists" rip each other's ideas off, slander each other, and do the damndest to make sure they have enough "Annon" posts to make it seem like they are in the right when in fact they have lied, stolen, and cheated.

The escape called "Dragged to Death" is Santini's pure and simple.

2 others before Griffen stole it and did weak and watered down versions of it that make the entire es cape look lame at best.

If anyone can offer any proof, in any form of media at all, that they did it before Santini then please step forward.

If not then all we are looking at is the self promotion of thieves and liars.

It's me.

The real Steve Santini.

For you to postulate that the "pulled apart" escape you planned out for a number of T.V. magic specials is the same as my "Dragged to Death" is typical of your usual B.S.

All you have done here is give us all a very good and clear look at what a thieving, non original, so called "Greatest" you really are.

Here's hoping the guy on the bike misses his count.

If you are going to steal something, at least you all could have the stones to do it the same way I did.

You are a joke.

Chis Chalen preformed " Pulled Apart" on his National TV Show in 1982. He was handcuffed and chained between two Semi Trucks and then he was pulled in different directions......
He was also buried in a coffin with wet cement in the same show.

Put some Chick dressed as a Hotel Chamber Maid outfit in front of Griffin and maybe he'll free his hands in time to keep his arms.
