All:
I have just signed on to perform three outdoor escapes to be performed in New York City in July, October and culminating with an underwater escape in the Hudson River in December.
Stay connected for details. once I have them, they will be posted here and on the website.
In the meantime, some more emails:
Peace
From: obsigna@yahoo.com
Your underwater safe escape (shown last night on television) was the most sensational and terrifying gag of its kind that I've ever seen. Hope you might be doing one of your stage shows or other presentations in Ireland. Otherwise will travel to London to see you perform.

New York to Las Vegas
Hi Folks:
Still in negotiations for the upcoming Las Vegas show. Also, some new escapes happening live in New York are slated for later this year. Stay connected for details.
More samplings of emails continually arriving.
From: stratjacketking@sbcglobal.net
Dear Sir: I admire your work and very much enjoyed the GENII issue. Please let me know the next time your out in Chicago. I would love to catch your show. I have no interest in challenging you, i can't afford to lose my handcuffs. What's the hardest straitjacket you ever encountered. How long did it hold you? Take care, your pal, CS
From: ogearthemus@excite.com
greetings
Dear mr. Solomon: I'm kind of new as an EA (escape Artist) and i need alot of suggestion to get to know the escape field. i am from jakarta-indonesia and as far as i know there's no one doin escapes here so i was just wondering if i can ask you to be my mentor in escape field.

Hi Thomas: I'm Will, and escape artist from Singapore (only one in my country). I'm 24 this year. I have been into escapes since August last year and I'd like to expand my social contacts with escape artists around the globe. I love your website and am very impressed with your work.
From: Codys@aol.com
Dear Thomas: I love your magic and it has helped me greatly to build my repertoire and skills over the years. Your unique style of performing is awesome. If i send you a playing card, could you autograph it for me or send me an autographed picture? Thank you for your time and your magic.

Have No Fear
It struck me recently that most of you respond to posts on this blog by clicking on the link to my website and sending your comments to my email.
The only reason I can surmise for this occurence is that this blog does not accept anonymous posts or comments. Since some may believe that having to register before responding is a hassle, I can assure you, if you try it, you will be amazed at how easy it is.
Whichever you prefer (email or blog) is fine, however the open forum of this blog gives
myself . . . and others the ability to respond quicker.
All the best

Valentine's Day
There have been many asking me via email lately about the when and where aspects of my new show slated for Las Vegas.
Unfortunately, I cannot say anything yet as the deal is still being worked. Interestingly enough however, I have been hired to possible perform in Los Angeles this year in which I will do seven shows compromising my Challenge Handcuff Act and nightly escapes (hopefully!) from the Nuclear Aquatic Containment Trap (aka 241).
Sorry that I continue to remain cagey about the Las Vegas show.
As soon as I have definite information, I will post on my website.
Thanks for your patience.

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----
