and welcome back to live in the D our
next guest perform maybe the most
stunning trick of all making me
disappear from one TV station and then
reappear on another TV station and in an
hour's time and she did that a few years
ago I'm still trying to figure out how
she made it work Harry Houdini is easily
known as one of the world's greatest
escape artists so when you break one of
his records you know that's something
special and our next guest holds the
record for the most water torture cell
escapes beating his record her name is
Kristen Johnson also known as Lady
Houdini you can see her today through
Saturday at the Hamburg Family Fun Fest
in Hamburg which is in Livingston County
Lady Houdini says the graphic and you
just appeared with your assistant Kevin
how are you good to see you again stunt
all right before during the commercial
break I should say that we tied up a
rope right here in a minute we're gonna
get to this trick and I don't know what
it is you haven't prepped me ahead of
time right exactly
all right more than 2,000 times you've
escaped under water from being bound
like this how do you do it how many
close calls yeah you ever scared that
you're not gonna be able to pull it off
well it's always a challenge and I
always have I call it my control level
of anxiety but I've had two occasions
which I've had to be extracted and I
just had what's called a hypoxic seizure
it's when your brain decides you don't
have enough oxygen shuts everything off
that's unnecessary well two times out of
2179 attempts is not too bad
statistically what are you gonna do
today with this rope that I have tied on
your wrist
while we were watching their sponsors
what's going to happen well what I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna have you tie my
hands behind my back okay I'm kind of
not yeah I'm really tight just a nice
square knot
oh really tight pull really tight okay
she escapes to easily everybody's gonna
blame me and they're good yeah yep
second knot yeah we'll move on to this
longer one right around her neck if I
saw this movie they did a couple of
scenes okay and a double now I'm gonna
have you take this - no can't keep it
unbuttoned we're casual here
pull that in nice and tight oh geez
really tight I got a whole of this okay
take your rule pass across her arm here
okay
put it right back through there towards
your audience put it right through there
okay let me feed it to you
yep all the way through fufu there take
that one more time okay around the back
just feed it through yourself like that
okay all right
then hand me the rope let's call that
slack out all right okay nice tight
double knot here okay you pulled this
end
there you go home a little bat okay and
a nice tight double knot right there
really tight on this one till she
squeals squeals I don't wanna do that
double knot for good luck a triple knot
one more her best seat in the house for
the skipper like you stand right inside
the circle of cloth facing the cameras
the variation okay keep your hands down
by your sides give every year viewers at
home a big cheesy smile there you go
Kristen's direct from this escape is 11
seconds zero day up to about six hey

triple nuts
