Merlini

Fear is the primal emotion that separates man from animal.

Since the beginning of time, there have always been extraordinary men who have challenged the limits of the human body. For them, survival always depends on one crucial skill – the mastering of mind over matter.





A fascinating young man named David Merlini is now following in the legendary footsteps of Harry Houdini and redefining the art of escapology in the 21st century.










Whether spending 33 hours frozen in ice while restrained, confined in a steel coffin that has been sunk to the bottom of the Danube River, strapped in a straitjacket under a speeding helicopter, launched with a missile, embedded in 3 tons of concrete or trapped in a burning car and dropped 300 feet, Merlini has taken the craft of magic and escapology to a new and extreme level.




A stunning coincidence has sealed the fate of this talented artist. David was born exactly 52 years after the death of Houdini, who died on Halloween, October 31st, 1926, at the age of 52. This, combined with Merlini’s daring stunts, has caused many to believe that David is the true reincarnation of the legend that is Harry Houdini.





In 2007, Merlini broke the world record by staying a mind-blowing 10 minutes and 17 seconds underwater. Later that year, he was awarded “Best Escape Artist” at the World Magic Awards.

After 13 years of bold experiments in water, on the ground and in the air, David Merlini is preparing further shocking and dangerous stunts.

Be on the lookout for an escape that will redefine the limits of humanity - coming your way soon.
