Columbus, OH- (May 29) 2x Winner of TV’s World Magic Awards, Michael Griffin Escape Artist (http://www.escapeguy.com) appeared on America’s Got Talent Monday night inviting Howard Stern the newest judge to tie him up on stage.  The King of all media admittedly didn’t know knots while bantering with Sharon Osborne. The Boss of Bondage looked at Howard’s handy work and began to shake violently, falling over in his chair, slithering out of the ropes in 26 seconds. He did not escape to the next round and is challenging Americas Got Talent to a live REMATCH.

Speculation of possible sabotage surfaced within hours of the videos hitting the web.  According to Writingshares.com  “I think it’s possible the show sabotaged him on purpose because they want to feature that kid act from St. Louis that was seen in the previews.”  Griffin, remarked later that he wasn’t happy not being allowed to do his more famous signature acts, instead being forced to perform the rope challenge, insisting that if you don’t get tied well by someone the whole thing unravels.  The Escape Artist is not ruling out a “Do Over” match with America’s Got Talent.

I helped catch a murderer

Just posted this on the linkedin board:

Michael Griffin • I helped catch a murderer.....
On the road while appearing at a mall in Alabama I was offering our challenge of $1,000.00 to anyone who can tie me up with rope preventing my escape. My assistant (wife at the time) came up to me and said Mike there is a scary looking nutjob guy who wants to tie you up, stay away from him he looks dangerous. Well I'm thinking hey this could be good on stage. I went up and met him, yup, he was wierd (kinda talked and looked at me like that kid in christmas story ralphie meets in line to see santa, that says i like santa). I asked this guy do you know how to tie people up? he said oh yes I like to tie people up. I facetiously asked him did you happen to bring any rope? he said yes, i have my rope in the car. I said OK......

So, the time came for him to come up on stage and tie me up, he immediately had me lay down in a hogtie fashion and immediately threw the rope under his foot to pull out slack, he grabbed my arms and started to truss me up so severely and quickly that he could only do so with much practice. I was nervous. I couldnt feel my hands, couldnt feel my feet, every move that I made pulled harder on the ropes around my neck connected to the ankles and hands,,,I thouhgt I was finally beat.

I think I passed out for a few minutes. I remember hearing a lady cry, I realized she was saying go michael go. I got back to work and finally, I dont know how but I got out. What was wierd was the local sheriffs were on stage during the roping up part and one deputy stayed up with me, I had no idea why, I also noticed the rope tie wierdo was gone and one of the sheriffs followed him.

After I got out, the show was cut short. The deputies were all over me asking questions like did you know that guy, have you met, did you set this up? I kept asking why? I dont understand. Then the bombshell.....

The deputies said that over the course of the last school season a couple of coeds had been found dead and tied up exactly like I was, same exact rope and found in trunks of cars. I just went numb, my wife was in shock. The duputies said this was like an old movie in which the badguys ego compels him to reappear and show off.

I heard back from the deputies a few months later, they had caught him and were sure he was their man.......This was one of the wierdest gigs ever

Look what these kids did to me

Hey look at what these kids did to me, remember folks they are the future of our country LOL my friend Melanie Mia Carey took this during show Hernando County Fairgrounds with Mona Simpson-Premorel

If you dont have me at your tradeshow, you have a missing persons situation

(thinking outside the box drawing leads to my client)

If you don't have me at your trade show, you have a missing person situation......

that's right you are missing persons leads that you could've got to follow up with later and your missing the only Me in the world and that unique, compelling x-factor I bring along that commands attention and draws eyeballs followed by butts moving towards your booth wanting to know more, wanting to hear back from you and wanting to do business with you.

I will tell you I think outside the box, ok, bad pun, but as the 2x winner of TV's World Magic Awards for Best Escape Artist (www.escapeguy.com), I can guarantee you that you will be impressed with the amount of leads generated and business that ends up in your account, not escaping to your competitors!

How far do I go to make sure no one escapes your message, would you believe I've even hung from the rafters upside down over my clients booth, escaping from a straitjacket and posing arms outstretched with their logo across my chest, making front page on both industry publications, you might say they were "heels over head" happy with the results.

The Great Escape Artist insists He's not the DEVIL

WILLISTON, FL– Michael Griffin escaped out of his final straightjacket. He pulled the last 40 separate and sharp needles from inside him, as they came from his mouth attached to seven feet of sting that he appeared to have swallowed with the needles.
It was Sunday evening (April 15) and the Levy County Fair had started to wind down from its four-day whirlwind of fun in Williston.
Griffin was among the performers who helped fair guests have a blast. He astounded audiences each time he wriggled out of a straightjacket, removed his hands from mitts made to stay on insane people, and quickly released himself from being tied by rope at his wrists. He told the audience his feats were pure muscle and movement.
The escape artist assured them there was no magic or demons or wizardry involved. He said this because, according to him, when he escaped from a trunk in a less civilized country, they wanted to kill him for using demons to let him out.

in rehearsals now,,,something huge is gonna happen: http://ping.fm/xSNW8
