MASHANTUCKET, CT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Criss Angel, the #1 magician on the planet, escapes death as he successfully completed one of the most unbelievable and dangerous stunts in history at Foxwoods® Resort Casino on November 11, 2014.
Inspired by the legendary Harry Houdini, Angel completed the Houdini Death Escape, while suspended upside down in a regulation straight jacket and dangling from a 75-foot-high crane. Upping the danger factor, Angel was the first to attempt this escape with a 50 lb. weight hanging from a noose around his neck. To prepare for the stunt, Angel trained with five time UFC champ and MMA Hall of Famer Randy Couture and incorporated a new deadly MMA twist to Houdini's legendary escape.
For more than a decade, Angel has dominated the world of magic and stunned audiences worldwide with his life-threatening, jaw-dropping, and seemingly impossible magic, illusions and escapes. An avid admirer of Harry Houdini, Angel parallels the legendary magician’s grand demonstrations, such as this signature escape, and catapults them into the 21st century…to the extreme.
