  The Escapologist | | Guardian Unlimited Arts
To call The Escapologist an adaptation of Houdini's Box might be stretching a point, but playwright Simon Bent has taken a smattering of dialogue here, a character study there, and fashioned a play that is similarly beguiling and elliptical.
Through the eyes of a therapist, played by a lugubrious Kevin McMonagle, we meet a doctor in denial about the pain of her father's death, a builder refusing to acknowledge his role in his wife's departure and a young girl failing to accept her mother's new lover.
Directed at a stately pace by Graham Eatough, The Escapologist draws you in with its meditative soul-searching, live piano score by David Paul Jones and understated technological tricks.

Generally, any position which ties the elbows behind the back is difficult to escape from, as the escapologist can't reach that area with hands or mouth to untie things.
Harry Houdini (March 24, 1874 October 31, 1926) was a magician, escapologist, stunt performer, and possibly a spy, as well as an investigator of spiritualists.

 Museum shows how Houdini did it - World - www.theage.com.au
A museum in what claims to be the home town of the great illusionist and escapologist Harry Houdini has opened an exhibition that explains the secret behind one of his - and magic's - most famous secrets.
Houdini, who was not born in Appleton as he sometimes claimed but in Hungary in 1874, would be unlikely to be upset by the revelation of one of his most famous tricks.
In 1922 the Society of American Magicians investigated the escapologist after he published an article that revealed the secret of the "talking kettle", one of the standard props of magicians' acts then.

 BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Escapologist sets new record
An escapologist has set a new world record after breaking free from a straitjacket while suspended upside down from a burning rope 160ft off the ground.
The crowd were then told that three escapologists - two Americans and a Briton - had died performing similar stunts in the last 15 years.
Asked what was going through his mind while in the middle of the challenge, Malik said: "I try to focus on breaking free from the jacket and blank out the fact that the rope is burning.

 BBC - Norfolk - Blast - Hanging around with Jonny Marx
Jonny Marx, a fearless 19-year-old escapologist who has a passion for being strapped up Houdini style and suspended from the ceiling, talks to BBC Norfolk Blast about his life as a rising circus star.
The 19-year-old escapologist is the main attraction during eXcape - this year's summer spectacular at the Hippodrome Circus, Great Yarmouth.
Born in 1874, Houdini's rise to fame took several years, and during the course of it he changed his style of magic from traditional illusions to escapology, with ever more daring and dangerous escapes.

Escapologists escape from handcuffs, straitjackets, cages, steel boxes, barrels, bags, burning buildings, fish-tanks and other perils, often in combination.
However, professional escapologists' tricks will include anything from handcuffs, rigged or otherwise, to chains, mailbags, or even, in the case of Harry Houdini, escape from a prison cell.
The escapologist may try to get a head start when tied by breathing in, making fists or pulling away from knots to gain slack when the ropes are tied off.

The inspiration of every escapologist in the (western) world today can be traced back to Harry Houdini as it was Houdini who first performed the kind of escaping we know today.
