I just wanted to take the opportunity to speak to all the readers of this blog, the readers of my column and all those others who continually email me with questions, advice or comments.
Happy Holidays and the best of all things in the New Year to everyone.
I am off for a few days for some performances in Southern New Jersey.
Negotiations are still in progress for the lauch of my new show American Escape Artist in Las Vegas in mid 2006.
Peace

Update British Television
The emails continue to pore in after the re-airing of my network special Thomas Solomon: The Escape Artist on CH4. Most are not unique (requests for autographed photos, copies of the television show or posters). Some are quite interesting and below is a sampling of the past couple of days.

Dear Thomas
I saw your show in the UK last week and I really impressed by all of your escapes. Some of them reminded me of scenes in the book "Carter Beats The Devil."
Keep up the brilliant shows, Ihope you to continue to amaze and inspire people for many years to come.

London Magazine Interview
I have as of late been receiving a considerable amount of emails from magicians and those interested in the escape field as to where they could get a copy of the interview I did for the Magic Circle in London in October, 2005.
Unfortunately, this is a members-only periodical.
However, due to the interest, I asked my webmaster to post it on the thomassolomon fan site (link to your right) where it will remain for a few months before it is removed.
Hope you enjoy it.

Welcome
Welcome to my new blog site.
On this blog, I will keep all of you updated as to what I will be doing in the field of magic and escape artistry.
Currently, I am in negotiations with three casinos in Las Vegas; the Luxor, Mandalay Bay and the Excalibur to host my show, American Escape Artist. At the same time, I am also in negotiations for a three series deal with the Learning Channel to host a reality show based on my abilities as an Escape Artist. For those of you who have seen my network special on Channel Four in Great Britain or my spots on the BBC, PAX television and Channel Five, it will be more of the same type of stylistic quality.
My column, Escape Velocity continues its bi-monthly run in the United Kingdom's Magic Circular, house organ of the famed Magic Circle.
Please feel free to leave your comments.
Many thanks----
