MANTON, MI. (OUTRAJUS PRODUCTIONS) AUG 23, 2023 — Have you ever wondered what happens when the charisma of Elvis, the daredevil spirit of Evel Knievel, and the legendary escape prowess of Houdini merge? Meet Michael Griffin, the extreme magician and escape artist that's rocking stages across the nation and set to appear or disappear at the Manton Area Harvest Festival on Sept. 2&3.
Highlights of Griffin's Awe-Inspiring Acts:
$1,000 Challenge: An audience member will attempt to tie Griffin in hopes of claiming the prize. Griffin's history proves the challenge will be anything but easy.
Death-Defying Escapes: From being sealed in a canvas bag and struggling to breathe while shackled with police restraints, Griffin's escapes keep audiences at the edge of their seats.
Needle Spectacle: Griffin swallows 40 steel sewing needles followed by 10 feet of thread, only to regurgitate them threaded, creating a display spanning across the stage.
Author Rudy Steffish, in his book Conversations with Harry: A Study of Contemporary Escape Artists, notes Griffin's unique position in the escape artist domain. Not a mere locksmith or illusionist, Griffin immerses audiences in the suspense and challenges of his acts.
Griffin's boldness is evident in his challenges to the Masked Magician and his renowned escape from the frozen Ohio River. His talent is recognized globally, with accolades including Top Escape Artist by the World Magic Awards twice, becoming the only magician to earn this recognition. Yet, Griffin modestly differentiates himself from magicians. For him, it's not about illusions, but real-life challenges, pushing limits, and wowing audiences.

About Michael Griffin
"Wanna Tie Me Up?"
It's a daring proposition, one that only Michael Griffin could confidently extend. His captivating feats on America's Got Talent and his distinction as America's Escape Hero have cemented his reputation in the world of escapology. As the sole 2-Time Winner of TV's World Magic Awards, Griffin's performances aren't just escapes; they're intricate tales of suspense, magic, and audience interaction. And for those bold enough? A unique, worldwide $100,000.00 challenge awaits anyone who can keep him bound.
But who exactly is Michael Griffin? He isn't merely an escape artist; he's a phenomenon. Michael embodies a rare blend of audacious skill and charismatic showmanship. His unparalleled capabilities allow him to liberate himself from virtually any confinement or restraint known to man, rightly earning him the title of the world's greatest living escape performer. His feats are not just for show; they are historical reenactments and boundary-pushing challenges. Griffin is the sole human to ever withstand a public hanging from the back of a horse and emerge unscathed.
In 2002, in homage to the great Houdini, Griffin was the exclusive escape artist chosen to reenact Houdini's perilous 1912 escape. Bound, handcuffed and sealed within Houdini's 90-year-old original packing crate, he was cast into the turbulent waters of Florida's intercoastal. Yet, against all odds, Michael Griffin emerged, further solidifying his legendary status.
What’s the secret? It’s Griffin’s strong mind, conviction, heart, and belief. “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 straitjacket we will ever face; but, if you put your mind to it, and you believe in yourself, you will always escape”.
His audacious invitation stands: "Do With Me What You Will." Ready to take on the challenge?
