My stage name is Alexanderia the Great. I am one of the only escape artists who is female. I've survived escapes never attempted elsewhere. Achieved several world records and had numerous national TV appearances. I have set myself apart in a niche dominated by men. Today, my trademark escape is literally breath- taking as I break out of a bulletproof underwater cell - but it only came about after I broke free of numerous other "boxes". My escape show is themed in Getting Out of Boxes. I've been willingly locked in over the years (either by myself, others or society): "normal", "female", "wife" "mother"; "too heavy" "too old", "not smart enough", "not pretty enough" "girls not allowed."
By continuing to test my limits and push myself with each and every escape, I hope to thrill you and keep you guessing as to what I'm going to do next. But I also want you to know that like me, you can get out of whatever boxes you're in -- and ultimately become your own"escape artist." (Although, please don't literally try this at home.)
I can custom my show for any audience. I have done colleges, conventions, charities, church and civic groups, fairs and lots of TV. I have played to kids and adults and as a former teacher I love to connect with my audience. My escapes unlike others and great Houdini are in full view, so there are no magic curtains and all can see up close what I do to escape. My shows are audience participation and can vary in length from 30-90 mins depending on your need. When you book me your audiences will not only be wowed but they leave with the keys to getting out of their own boxes.

I carry my own insurance so no concerns on liability. I have my own tank and I do things in full view so all can see exactly what I do to escape rare in escapes. You provide the sound systems and lighting and I provide the drama.
I can create a show specific to your needs. Many of my escape have been seen on national TV. I can stage or outdoor venues (stadiums, fair grounds, pools, aquariums or any body of water). Any place there is a crowd, I bring my show to you. I have a number of different escapes.
*I own the world record for the extreme strait jacket - a regulation canvas Houdini strait jacket secured by 50 feet of thick chains and 10 padlocks by the audience (As seen on Fox and Friends live escape on Fox News Channel and various news programs).
*The Underwater Cell - an escape that combines two of Houdini's greatest escapes. I attempt to escape a strait jacket secured with 25 feet of chains and 5 padlocks and then I enter a small 3 x 3 clear bullet proof tank filled with water. I do a breathe up and submerge underwater and have an audience member padlock the tank shut. I must escape the strait jacket, chains and must pick the lock before I run out of air. I am the only escape artist ever to successfully escape from this escape including Houdini. (see video on America's Got Talent)
*My Underwater Leap of Faith which requires a pool or body of water. I am restrained in 4 times as much restraints as Houdini did in his bridge jumps. I escape handcuffs, leg cuffs, 30 feet of chains, 8 padlocks and I am weighted with a lead weight belt which makes it impossible for me to surface with escape all my restraints. Just before I jump into the deep end of the pool or body of water and try and escape all underwater, unlike any escape artist ever I blow my air out instead of in. I thereby try and escape underwater on little to no air. (As see America's Got Talent, NBC Today Show and CBS Evening news videos),
*The Houdini Mail Bag - where i have the audience Handcuff me, chain me up and secure me in multiple padlocks and then enter in a canvas mail bag that is padlocked shut. I escape in full view.
*I can also do other escapes with chains, ropes and cuffs and whatever plays in theme for your event
The first time I saw the 1953 Houdini movie I was mesmerized. To see what the Master of Escape did to challenge himself exhilarated me. The way Houdini captivated audiences worldwide with his daring feats really inspired me. I immediately began trying to reenact some of his escapes. Of course, if you are a true Houdini fan, you would never simply try and copy what he did. Your goal would be to try surpass what he did. To do so is not easy. So in my training, I have worked on increasing my strength, breath hold ability & pain tolerance. Now I own multiple world records & am always trying to combine many of his escapes in an effort to try and go beyond the Master.
