Thomas Solomon: World's Greatest Escape Artist

Award-winning escape artist and magician, Thomas Solomon is a performer of many firsts; he is the first escape artist to be profiled in The New York Times, the first and only escape artist to perform twice at The White House, the only escape artist to have escaped the maximum security cell of Al Capone at Eastern State Penitentiary; the only escape artist to release himself from the Tower leg irons of Billy The Kid and the only escape artist to liberate himself from the shackles of Lewis Payne, one of the convicted conspirators in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. He is the only escape artist to perform in full view of the audience and has received many awards for his re-definition of the art form.

Known as "The Thinking-Man's magician", Solomon's magic and escape artist performances have received notoriety due to their emphasis on cultural, political, and societal themes and their relation to the world around us.
