MNW #124 :: STEVE SANTINI

The name Steve Santini may not yet be commonly known in magic circles, but in many ways he has single handedly revolutionized the image and accomplishments of the contemporary professional escape artist. Steve describes what he does as "Taking escapology out of it’s 'Dark Ages”.' Santini has crafted a unique performing style and props that are a look forward into the future of the art all the while creating a visceral and extremely intense psychological experience for modern audiences craving “reality” over fantasy. There is no “magic” or “illusion” to be found in Steve's work. In fact, he strongly believes that such elements have no place at all in the art of escape. What he does is real, impassioned, and without equal. If you didn't know Steve before this interview, you'll want to learn more after him discuss his inspirations and performance philosophy. Tomorrow, Steve will be staging an escape in the tradition of Haryy Houdini when he attempts to break out of one of Canada's oldest Death Row prisons.
